If you are new to cannabis,or have experienced negative side effects from cannabis like paranoia, anxiety, or other types of discomfort, microdosing may be a great option for you. Read on to learn how to safely and effectively microdose cannabis for a variety of potential perks.

Microdosing cannabis may help provide relief while allowing you to stay alert and focused.

What is Microdosing?

Microdosing is the act of taking small, controlled doses of a substance at scheduled intervals throughout the day in order to access potential therapeutic benefits without experiencing the psychoactive effects or side effects typically associated with its use. 

Microdosing can also be a good option for those who are new to recreational cannabis or who have a low tolerance for THC.

Cannabis microdosing benefits may include pain relief, reduced anxiety and stress, improved mood, and better sleep. Microdosing THC could also potentially help increase focus and creativity, making it a popular choice for those who want to enhance their productivity without feeling high. 

In addition to the possible health and well-being benefits, microdosing can be a more cost-effective way to consume cannabis, as smaller amounts are needed to achieve the desired effects.

What is Microdosing Effective For?

Microdosing cannabis is gaining popularity among folks who experience a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. In fact, some studies show that a low dose of cannabis is actually much more effective than a higher dose when seeking relief.

For example, in a 2012 study of cannabis and pain, cancer patients with opioid-resistant pain were given either a low, medium, or high dose of a THC/CBD nasal spray (nabixomols). While patients taking a low or medium dose experienced relief, those on a high dose actually experienced worse pain.

A daily THC microdose may help ease pain and anxiety while allowing you to stay active.

In another study of prisoners with PTSD, test subjects were given a low (1-4 mg) dose of the synthetic cannabinoid nabilone. Most subjects experienced improvements in insomnia, nightmares, and chronic pain.

Many people who want to manage symptoms of conditions like ADHD, PTSD, and migraines microdose THC. By taking small, controlled doses of cannabis, users can experience the therapeutic benefits without the risk of getting too high or experiencing unwanted side effects.

Tips for Safe and Effective Microdosing

Microdosing cannabis can be a great way to experience the therapeutic benefits without the high. However, it’s important to do it safely and effectively. How to microdose marijuana correctly? Start with a low dose and gradually increase until you find the right amount for your needs. 

A common approach is to start with a 2 mg dose of THC per day and gradually increase by 1 mg per day. It is also common to split the daily dosage into a morning dose and an evening dose. 

It is important for anyone trying microdosing to note each day of how they feel. Have the goals for microdosing been met? Is there less stress & anxiety? Fewer aches and pains? A person should always take note of how many milligrams led to the relief. "
