Most adult-use Michigan edibles come in 10mg doses. Ten milligrams is a typical experienced-user serving. For someone new to cannabis, returning after a long break, or 50 and older, 10mg is often too much. Far too much to start with, and frequently the cause of the bad-edible-experience story everyone has heard from a friend.

The University of Michigan's National Poll on Healthy Aging surveyed older adults using cannabis and found the consensus comfort range starts at 2.5mg per serving. The same dose surfaces in AARP's cannabis-50+ guidance. Multiple peer-reviewed studies of senior dosing converge on the same number.

We didn't pick 2.5mg. The research did. We just listened.

What 2.5mg actually feels like.

We're not telling you what you will experience. We're telling you what many of our customers describe to us, in their own words, after they've tried it: a slight softening of the edges of a long day; easier to settle into a book; sleep that comes thirty minutes earlier than usual; a body that feels less wound up after a fishing trip. None of those are claims. They're things customers say.

Wait two full hours before considering a second dose. "I didn't feel anything, so I took another" is the single most common cause of an unpleasant edible experience. Two hours. Set a timer. Drink water. If at the two-hour mark you genuinely felt nothing, then consider trying a slightly higher dose next time, not stacking it on top of the first one.
