HOW TO DOSE THC CORRECTLY

When it comes to dosing THC, the golden rule is always:

1. Start Low & Go Slow

Beginners should begin with 2.5–5 mg of THC (per dose), especially with edibles or tinctures.
Some medical guides suggest starting as low as 1 mg THC and increasing gradually .
Micro-dosing (1–3 mg THC) can offer mild effects like relaxation or focus, often without noticeable psychoactivity.

2. By Consumption Method

Method	Typical Beginner Dose	Onset Time	Duration
Smoking/Vaping	1–3 mg THC per puff; start with 1–2 puffs	Immediately (few min)	1–3 hrs
Tinctures/Oils	2.5–5 mg THC; sublingual is faster (15–45 min onset)	15–45 min	2–4 hrs
Edibles	2.5–5 mg per serving; wait at least 1–2 hrs before redosing	30 min–2 hrs	4–8 hrs

3. Wait Before Redosing

With edibles, always wait at least 1–2 hours, ideally up to 2 hours, before taking more
Tinctures/vaping also require patience—wait 15–30 minutes after initial use.

4. Titrate Gradually

Increase slowly—1–2 mg at a time, spaced by 24 hours for edibles or a few hours otherwise.
Keep notes on dose, product, and effects to learn what works for your body .

5. Recognize Influencing Factors

Your response to THC depends on:

Tolerance & experience level
Consumption method (edibles are slower, stronger)
Metabolism, weight, gender, genetics
Food/alcohol intake—full stomach slows onset; alcohol can amplify effects .

6. If You Overdo It

While THC isn’t fatal, excessive amounts can cause anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, nausea, or disorientation .
Coping tips:
- Stay hydrated
- Rest in a calm, familiar space
- Distract yourself with calming music or a light activity
- Consider taking CBD (50–200 mg) if anxiety arises .

7. Special Considerations

When medically supervised, consult health professionals for tailored advice .
Avoid mixing THC with alcohol—it can intensify effects .
Keep all cannabis products locked away to prevent accidental use, especially around children .

Dosing Summary for Beginners

Choose your form:
- Vape/smoke: start with 1–2 light puffs
- Tincture: 2.5–5 mg sublingually
- Edible: 2.5–5 mg per serving

Wait fully for onset (always the full recommended duration).
If needed, increase dose by 1–2 mg next time—never dose again the same day for edibles.
Track your reactions and refine gradually.
