HHC (or hexahydrocannabinol) dosage is a very new concept. The reality is that the amount of HHC milligrams that you consume can vary depending on what you’re trying to use it for, what your body weight is, and what your recreational use or frequency of use of HHC is already.
Key takeaways
- Low-Strength Dosage: Multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.05 to find your dosage in milligrams.
- Medium-Strength Dosage: Multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.1 to find your dosage in milligrams.
- High-Strength Dosage: Multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.2 to find your dosage in milligrams.
How many HHC gummies should I take?
It’s always important to start with a “half dose” of any new product that you’re consuming, especially when it’s your first time. It’s always easier to increase your dosage by consuming more rather than the other way around.
Most HHC edible products will contain around 25mg of HHC per "serving" (or dose). You may have purchased a product that contains more or less of this amount. Before consumption, always refer to the milligram amounts that are on the packing to then calculate your dosage listed below.
Understanding HHC edible dosages
When thinking about dosage of HHC gummies, here is a good rule of thumb:
- Low-Strength Dosage: Multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.05 to find your dosage in milligrams.
- Medium-Strength Dosage: Multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.1 to find your dosage in milligrams.
- High-Strength Dosage: Multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.2 to find your dosage in milligrams.
The milligrams of dosage can be used for the following ailments:
- For Sleep: We suggest a low-strength dose of 0.5mg HHC per 10 pounds of body weight.
- For Pain Relief: We recommend a medium-strength dose of 1mg HHC per 10 pounds of body weight.
- For Recreational Purposes: The choice is yours. Initially, a low-strength dose of 0.5mg HHC per 10 pounds of body weight is suggested.

How long of an onset
HHC gummies can have a longer onset than inhaled products or oils/tinctures/distillates. On average, a consumable HHC product could take up to 90-minutes to fully start to feel the “light head-high” effects of HHC (with the average times being around 45 minutes to 60 minutes). The average bioavailability of most HHC edible products is around 10% to 20%.
HHC has a very similar onset to all Delta-8, Delta-9, and Delta-10 products. If you want to read our guide on the onset times of Delta-10, it will give you a fairly good idea of what to expect in terms of timeframe of onset.
