The problem
Most edible mistakes happen before anyone takes a bite
Edibles take 30–120 minutes to work, and homemade batches are rarely consistent. When decisions are made casually or from memory, the same mistakes keep happening:
- Taking more because "it isn't working yet"
- Two portions from the same batch with very different strength
- Relying on memory instead of labels
- Letting a recipe decide the dose
How it works
Four rules. Decided in advance. Followed every time.
1
Calculate the dose before cooking
No estimating, no adjusting later. The book walks you through the math.
2
Define and label every portion
Each piece has a known strength and a limit, written down rather than remembered.
3
No same-day redosing
Delayed onset is treated as a known risk, not something to override.
4
If uncertain, stop
Uncertainty is a signal to pause, not to "proceed carefully".
