How to Choose Hemp Edibles
Hemp edibles are one of the easiest formats to shop for once you know what to look at. The label tells you almost everything, and a quick look at the lab report confirms the rest.
Start with the label and milligrams per piece
The label is the first thing to read. Look for the milligrams of THC per piece and the number of pieces per package, so you know exactly what one piece is. A pack that reads 10mg per gummy with 10 gummies is 100mg total, split into ten 10mg pieces.
Check which cannabinoid it is too. Delta-9 gummies are the most common, and you may also see Delta-8, THCa, or blends. If you are new, a lower milligram count per piece gives you more control. For how servings actually work, see how to dose hemp edibles.
Check the COA before you buy
Every edible worth buying comes with a COA, a third-party lab report. It confirms the actual cannabinoid content matches the label and that the product passed testing for contaminants. At The Lifted Leaf there is a COA on every product.
Match the batch number on the package to the batch on the COA, and check that the Delta-9 THC is under the 0.3% by dry weight federal limit. If a product has no lab report, no batch match, or vague ingredients, skip it. Learn what to look at in how to read a COA. Rules vary and can change.
Pick a format and flavor you like
Edibles come in more than gummies. You will find gummies, chocolates, hard candies, baked goods, and drink mixes. Chewables and chocolates are easy to split into smaller pieces, and drinks are easy to sip slowly. Pick what you will actually enjoy eating.
- Gummies: the most popular, easy to portion, long shelf life.
- Chocolates and baked goods: richer flavor for an evening treat.
- Drinks and mixes: no chewing, easy to sip slowly.

How do I choose a hemp edible?
Read the label for the milligrams of THC per piece and the pieces per package, confirm there is a third-party COA that matches the batch, and pick a format and flavor you enjoy. If you are new, choose a lower milligram count per piece.
What should I check on an edible's label?
Check the milligrams of THC per piece, the number of pieces per package, the cannabinoid type such as Delta-9, the batch number, and that it is hemp under 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight. A COA should back all of that up.
How many milligrams should a beginner edible have?
A lower milligram count per piece gives you the most control, since you can always start with part of a piece. For serving ranges and timing, see our guide on how to dose hemp edibles. This is educational information, not medical advice.
Do hemp edibles come with a lab report?
They should. A COA, or certificate of analysis, is a third-party lab report confirming potency and that the product passed contaminant testing. At The Lifted Leaf every product has one. Hemp products are for adults 21 and over.
