Edibles and Nevada's Two-Hour Warning
Nevada requires every edible to be labeled with this warning: "Caution: When eaten or swallowed, the intoxicating effects of this product may be delayed by 2 or more hours."
The notice every buyer receives
Every Nevada dispensary also has to give buyers a notice with their purchase, on paper or electronically, and one of its warnings reads: "The intoxicating effects of cannabis may be delayed by 2 hours or more and users of cannabis products should initially ingest a small amount of the product containing no more than 10 milligrams of THC, then wait at least 2 hours before ingesting any additional amount of cannabis."
What the numbers on the package mean
In Nevada an edible serving holds at most 10 milligrams of THC and an edible package at most 100. The label states the THC in each serving, with a notice that the actual amount may be within 15 percent of the stated amount. Capsules and tinctures follow separate, higher limits, so read their labels rather than assuming the edible numbers apply.
Drinks
An infused drink is labeled in milligrams like any edible, and the buyer notice above covers it. A drink holding more than 10 milligrams of THC comes with a resealable cap, in a container that marks each serving or with a device to measure one.
Ratios
Some edibles list CBD, CBG or CBN beside the THC as a ratio, such as 1:1 THC to CBD.
