The right THC dose is personal. Tolerance, body weight, food and experience all change how a drink feels. This guide will not tell you what you will feel, but it will help you start in the right place.
Start low
If you are new to THC, start with our lowest dose: one 5mg can of Wonder Water, or share one. With gummies, start with one 10mg gummy, or half of one. With Ocho Verde, measure a single 1 oz pour (about 4mg) instead of free-pouring.
Go slow
Many people notice our drinks in about 15 to 25 minutes, but THC can take two hours or more to reach full effect, and gummies are usually slower than drinks. Sip slowly and wait before having another, even if you do not feel anything yet. Most dosing mistakes come from having a second serving too soon.
5mg or 10mg?
- 5mg Wonder Water: our beginner pick, and a good choice for a longer evening.
- 10mg Wonder Water: for people who already know how THC affects them.
- Ocho Verde: 100mg per 750mL bottle, so you set the dose with your pour: about 4mg per 1 oz, about 6mg per 1.5 oz.
