Finding the right cannabis dosage can be the difference between a relaxing night and being couch-locked for hours. So, how do you get it right?
First of all, it's important to know that a 5 mg edible isn't going to hit the same as taking a few puffs from a vape or a pre-roll. Each consumption method packs its own unique punch. If you usually take dabs and want to try an edible, you're in for a different ride. And if you love edibles but want to give vaping a go, you might need a strong one to get the same vibe.
Let’s go through the best tips and tricks to help you understand dosing so you can enjoy your experience, no matter how you like to consume.
Before you pick your product, it really helps to know what kind of experience you're looking for. Are you trying to sleep like a baby after a long day, or do you need something that will help you be the life of the party? Here's how you can match your goals with the right cannabis product:
If you want to unwind and get some much-needed sleep, go for something on the indica side with a higher THC percentage.
Need an energy boost? Sativa strains will be your bestie for this one.
Want a balanced, mellow high? Hybrids can offer the best of both worlds.
When in doubt, start low and go slow. This way, you can find the right balance for the experience you want.
Finding your cup of tea is the fun part. Whether you're into flower, edibles, concentrates, or vapes, each method has its own vibe. Here is what you can typically expect from each type:
If you’re used to smoking and want to try edibles, go easy at first. Edibles hit differently because they’re processed through your stomach, leading to a stronger and longer-lasting high. Start with a small dose, like 5 mg of THC. And remember, edibles take their sweet time to kick in – sometimes up to 2 hours – so be patient and don’t rush to take more. The high can last for hours, so it’s best to chill and wait it out.
For those who love edibles but are curious about vaping, this is an easy switch. Vaping delivers THC straight to your lungs, so you’ll feel it fast – usually within minutes. Begin with 3 or 4 puffs and see how you feel before taking more. Vaping gives you quick feedback, making it easier to control your high and find the sweet spot without going overboard.
If you’re a vape fan thinking about trying smoking flower, it’s a pretty smooth transition. Take a couple of hits from a pre-roll to start. The effects of smoking come on quickly, like vaping, but the high is a bit different and usually shorter. This makes it easy to control how much you consume. You can take more hits as needed without worrying about an overwhelming high that lasts too long.
Finding the right cannabis dose is a personal journey and takes some experimentation. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to try a different method, it’s important to start low and go slow.
The best rule of thumb is to think about what experience you're looking for, what strain will give you that, and what consumption method will tie it all together.
Trying new things can be tricky, but with the right approach, it can also be a lot of fun. Keep yourself comfortable, stay hydrated, and have some snacks handy. Most importantly, enjoy the ride.
