Microdosing is the practice of taking a very low dose of a drug to avoid specific side effects like anxiety or paranoia. Individuals can microdose weed, psychedelic mushrooms, LSD, and MDMA. Microdosing cannabis has become more popular over the last several years, as more states have legalized the sale of cannabis. Many believe that microdosing THC allows for a more relaxed, calmer high. 

How to Microdose THC

Dosages will vary depending on weight, height, and tolerance. A typical starting dose is 1-2 mg of THC and increases gradually over time. 

You can microdose weed in a variety of ways, including edibles, flower, pre-rolls, concentrates, and more. The options are endless, although some methods of consumption might deliver a more precise microdose. Topicals, capsules, and edibles can be measured easily. The best practice is to always start slow and build up the dose over time. It’s important to note which strain, dosage, consumption method, and potential side effects take place in order to make adjustments to your dosage. 

Is Microdosing Different from Regular Cannabis Use?

Microdosing and consuming smaller dosages will lead to a milder, more relaxed effect. Typical dosages of THC can often be too strong for individuals, making them feel lethargic, hungry, or paranoid. At lower doses, individuals are less likely to feel the negative effects of cannabis. Microdosing can be an ideal choice for individuals who deal with pain, stress, distractedness, and more. 

Microdosing for Improved Concentration and Productivity

One of the best benefits of microdosing cannabis is the potential to increase focus, and improve concentration, and productivity. While higher amounts of cannabis may make you feel lethargic or spaced out, microdosing THC can make you feel more energized, focused, and controlled.

For those looking to enhance focus, start with a low dose of a sativa or sativa hybrid strain. Sativas are known for their stimulating and uplifting effects. A low-dose sativa edible might significantly boost productivity. By integrating microdosing into your routine, you may feel more relaxed and concentrated. 

Be sure to consult medical professionals and experiment cautiously. Start slow and find what works best for you.
