What is microdosing cannabis and how do I do it?

Microdosing means taking very small amounts of cannabis for subtle benefits without getting "high."

What Is a Microdose?

  • Typically 1-5mg THC
  • Sub-perceptual or barely perceptual effects
  • Functional—you can work, drive (later), be productive
  • Often used daily for therapeutic benefits

Why Microdose?

Benefits: - Reduced anxiety without impairment - Enhanced creativity and focus - Mood improvement - Pain management - Better sleep (evening microdose) - No tolerance buildup (usually)

Who Microdoses?

  • Professionals who want benefits without high
  • People sensitive to THC
  • Those seeking medical benefits
  • Anyone who doesn't enjoy intense effects

How to Microdose:

Step 1: Find Your Threshold

  • Start with 1-2mg THC
  • Wait 2-3 hours (edibles) or 1 hour (vape/smoke)
  • If you feel nothing, try 2.5mg next time
  • Goal: just barely noticeable effects

Step 2: Stay Consistent

  • Same dose, same time daily
  • Keep a journal of effects
  • Adjust as needed

Best Products for Microdosing:

Edibles: - 2.5mg gummies (cut larger ones in half) - Mints and lozenges - Beverages

Tinctures: - Precise dropper dosing - Fast sublingual absorption - Easy to adjust

Low-Dose Vapes: - Take one small puff - Wait 10 minutes - One more if needed

Microdosing Schedule Example: - Morning: 2.5mg with coffee (focus/mood) - Evening: 2.5mg after dinner (relaxation) - As needed: 1-2.5mg for stress

Tips for Success: - Use products with accurate lab testing - Be patient—benefits may take days/weeks - Take tolerance breaks occasionally - Keep doses consistent
