What Is THC Microdosing?

THC microdosing involves consuming small, controlled doses of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Unlike traditional dosing, which aims for noticeable psychoactive or relaxing effects, microdosing THC is more often done to leverage the therapeutic benefits of THC while minimizing intoxication.

The Benefits of Microdosing THC

Typically, microdoses are a fraction of the standard dose. This means you experience subtle effects such as mood enhancement, stress reduction, and pain relief without the overwhelming psychoactive high associated with larger doses. For some people, lower doses of THC can be better at targeting symptoms of certain ailments, while also allowing them to remain alert and functional throughout the day.

While there is limited research available on microdosing THC, many people report these small doses help with things like:

• Anxiety and stress
• Ongoing issues with nausea
• Problems with sleep or sleep disorders
• Certain types of chronic pain
• Chronic problems with muscle spasms

How Do You Microdose THC?

The term “microdosing” may be unique depending on individual needs and THC tolerance levels. However, most people who follow a microdosing regimen consume anywhere from one to three milligrams of THC at a time.

For most people, the psychoactivity of THC is not all that noticeable until about four or five milligrams are consumed. However, every person’s tolerance levels and personal experience can vary. Therefore, to get started, find a low therapeutic dose that eases your symptoms but does not make you feel intoxicated.

To get started with microdosing THC, find a cannabis product that allows you to break your dose down into very small, one to three-milligram doses. Tinctures are a go-to for this purpose, but some edibles can also be easy to break down into small doses as well.

For example, if you have a 30 mL bottle of THC tincture that contains 100mg of THC, each mL would contain roughly 3.33mg of THC. You simply divide the THC content (100mg) by the volume of the bottle (30 mL) to find out how much THC would be in a 1 mL dropper of the oil. If you find your best microdose is around 3mg of THC, you could consume one dropper of this oil to achieve your dose.

Tips for Incorporating Microdose THC into Your Day Successfully

• Begin with a very small dose, such as 1-2 mg of THC.
• Slowly increase the dose over time if needed to achieve desired effects.
• Record your doses, effects, and any observations to track your experience and adjust accordingly.
• Opt for products with precise dosing options, such as tinctures or capsules, for easier microdosing.
• Allow time for the effects to manifest fully before adjusting your dose.
• Maintain a regular dosing schedule to achieve more predictable results.
• Experiment with different times of day to find when microdosing works best for you.
• Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust your dose accordingly.
