Where can I buy THC edibles in CT?
Hi! People Cannabis Market sells THC edibles at its Derby and Hartford stores, which DCP lists as cannabis retailers serving adults 21 and older. Choose the Derby live menu or the Hartford live menu, order ahead and bring a valid government-issued photo ID showing you are 21 or older.
What the state caps mean on an edible package
Flower is weighed, but an edible is counted in milligrams of THC, and Connecticut sets both a per-serving and a per-package ceiling. Edible cannabis products are limited to 5 milligrams of THC per serving. For a multiple-serving package, DCP says edibles can have no more than 100 milligrams of THC total, a ceiling that sits on top of the per-serving limit.
Packaging has its own rules. DCP says cannabis packaging must be child-safe, tamper-resistant and light-resistant, and that edible packaging cannot appeal to individuals under 21. On the label, look for a DCP-issued symbol that the package contains THC and a symbol that it is not safe or legal for people under twenty-one. Our walkthrough on how to read a Connecticut cannabis label goes through the rest.
How edibles count toward what you may buy and carry
A store may not knowingly sell a consumer more than one ounce of cannabis or the equivalent in products per day, per chapter 420h. For possession, chapter 420b pairs one ounce of cannabis plant material with five grams of concentrate or other cannabis products with up to five hundred milligrams of THC. It pairs one and one-half ounces with seven and one-half grams or up to seven hundred fifty milligrams of THC.
The possession limits guide explains the full rule.
Waiting between servings: what CDC, DCP and Poison Control say
The CDC says edibles can take from 30 minutes to 2 hours to feel intoxicating effects, and that they can cause intoxicating effects that last longer than expected. Connecticut DCP says edible cannabis products can have a delayed onset of effects of two or more hours. Poison Control says effects of swallowed THC are often not peaking until 3 hours after ingestion.
Those are agency descriptions, not a timer. The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission advises consumers to start low and go slow with edibles, and NIDA says edibles typically take longer to show effects and people may use more of a product as a result. Our guide to how long edibles take to kick in goes further, and the CDC page on cannabis poisoning is the federal source for the first figures.
Pickup at both stores, delivery from Derby
Our online ordering takes orders at any hour, so an edibles order can go in at any hour and be collected at the counter. The edibles shelf under this guide shows live items from the menu of whichever store you have selected, and one switch moves you to the other store.

Questions shoppers ask about edibles
What shapes can edibles be sold in?
Edible cannabis products may only be in cuboid or spherical forms, and animal shapes are prohibited, according to DCP's guide to adult-use edibles. The same guide says edible packaging cannot appeal to individuals under 21. Read the DCP article on what kind of edibles will be available for the full list.
How should I store edibles at home?
Keep them in a locked childproof container, out of the reach and sight of children and pets, as the CDC advises. The FDA says edible products containing THC can be easily mistaken for foods such as breakfast cereal, candy and cookies. If a child has swallowed one, the CDC and FDA both list poison control at 1-800-222-1222.
Can Hartford deliver an edibles order?
No. Hartford takes pickup orders only, so you collect the order at the counter there. Scheduled delivery runs from the other store only, and its checkout confirms each address against the delivery page. State law says the individual placing the cannabis order shall be the individual accepting delivery.
Can I buy THC drinks along with edibles?
Yes, both formats are on the same live menus. The THC drinks aisle shows live drinks for the store you select, and our comparison of THC drinks and edibles explains how the two formats differ. Read each package's label on its own, since a drink and an edible are different formats with their own packaging.
Who makes the edibles you carry?
When we stock edibles, we prioritize products from licensed Connecticut cultivators and processors. If you want to know who made a particular edible before you order, call us at 860-420-BUDS (2837) and ask. The package label carries what the state requires, and our guide to reading a Connecticut cannabis label walks through it.
Is there a potency cap on edibles?
Effective October 1, 2026, DCP lists other adult-use cannabis products, including edibles, pre-rolls and topicals, at up to 70%, per its potency thresholds article. Separately, the serving and package limits described above also apply to edibles, so the label is where to check a specific product.
