How to Microdose Cannabis: A Guide to Low-Dose THC and CBD Use

What is Microdosing?

Microdosing involves taking very small amounts of THC or CBD, just enough to activate the body’s endocannabinoid system without inducing intoxication. A typical microdose is 1–5 mg of THC.

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis

• Improves focus and creativity
• Reduces anxiety and stress
• Provides mild pain relief
• Enhances mood and emotional balance
• Allows for daytime use without impairment

How to Microdose Cannabis

1. Start Low – Begin with 1–2 mg THC or 5 mg CBD.
2. Use a Consistent Delivery Method – Edibles, tinctures, and low-dose vape pens work best.
3. Wait and Observe – Effects may take 1–2 hours to appear, especially with edibles.
4. Adjust Gradually – If needed, increase your dose by 1 mg THC per session.
