My cat just ate a THC edible I found torn apart on the floor. Is this dangerous?

I came home to find a THC edible that my cat must have torn apart and eaten some of. I'm really worried because I know THC can be harmful to pets. Should I be rushing her to the vet right now, or are there signs I should watch for before taking action?
