How Much THC Are In Edibles?
Colorado State Regulations mandate that (recreational) edibles come packaged in no larger than 100 milligrams of THC doses with identifiable portions. The most common measurement is 10 mg in a bite. Most products will be portioned out or have a clear dosing schedule on the label.
The exception is for tinctures and syrups which can run up to 1000 milligrams of THC in a bottle. These infused liquids will also have a measuring syringe so you can achieve the precise dosing you desire. Most single-serve drinks such as soda pops or lemonades are dosed at 10 milligrams of THC in a bottle.
What does it all mean though? What is the best bang for your buck?

Tinctures and syrups are the most potent and cost-effective way to ingest THC.
By volume, strength, and price, syrup, or tincture will be the strongest type of edible you can get! These are liquids infused with THC and CBD and have the highest concentrations.

The activation times range from 10 minutes to 30 minutes and the doses are measured by syringe or capful.
You can find up to 1000 mg containers from between $45 to $70 dollars. A 100 mg syrup can be found for as low as $15!
Drinks contain the least THC with about 10 mg in a bottle but are convenient and great for lighter social flights.
