Microdosing Cannabis

Microdosing cannabis involves consuming small amounts of THC and other cannabinoids to achieve your desired effects. Small doses of cannabis may provide a subtle, but profound form of healing and relief.

 What Is A Microdose Of THC?

A microdose of THC isn’t a fixed quantity; it’s the amount that produces sub-psychoactive or sub-perceptual effects. Since every individual’s endocannabinoid system is unique, the right microdose can differ from person to person. Typically, a microdose starts at 2.5 milligrams of THC, and can go up to around 5 milligrams.

How To Microdose THC

To find the right microdose, the best approach is to "start low and go slow." While this advice is common, it’s especially important for avoiding unwanted effects and maximising potential benefits.

Choose Your Method

Edibles are a popular choice for microdosing, with tinctures allowing precise measurement, and gummies easily divided into 2.5 milligram pieces. Keep in mind that edible products may take longer to “kick in”. While vaping or smoking offers a quicker onset, it can be harder to control the exact dosage.

Establish Your Dosage

Begin with a low dose and gradually increase until you find the right amount. Many experts recommend starting at 2.5 milligrams for three days and then adjusting if necessary.

Track Your Effects

Develop a deeper understanding of your endocannabinoid system by keeping a journal to record the strain, method of consumption, dosage, and any effects you notice. Be patient and take your time as you explore which dosage and consumption method suit you best. Pay attention to other factors that may influence your experience while microdosing. Elements like your surroundings (set and setting), mood, hydration, and nutrition are key.

The art of microdosing is one of patience and mindfulness. It’s a wonderful way to explore the therapeutic benefits of this beautiful plant. Embrace and enjoy the journey!
