Microdosing is used to describe taking a very small amount of a substance to benefit from its positive effects while minimizing undesired side effects that occur at larger doses. When it comes to microdosing with cannabis, the typical dose is 2.5mg of THC. This is a comfortable milligram to microdose with because it is small enough that it won’t overwhelm your system while increasing your cannabinoid levels. 

What benefits can you achieve with cannabis microdosing?

Confident High

Partaking in cannabis in small doses is very beneficial for new users because the psychoactivity is very minimal and not overwhelming.

Build Up Cannabinoids 

Everyone is built with an Endocannabinoid system in their body, or ECS.  Your ECS sends help to areas of the body that need attention. For example, if you have an ache in your foot your ECS tries to mask the pain or combat it with cannabinoids to help make the pain less noticeable and more bearable. When you use cannabis you are adding more cannabinoids to your system to give the pain even more relief than what your body naturally has. So when you're Microdosing, you're helping your body combat the pain.

Helps Depression & Stress

For some patients, a high amount of THC is alright for day to day, however when certain situations arise, too much THC can cause people to overthink or get overwhelmed. For example, patients with depression or anxiety may take a high amount of THC on a regular basis, but say one day something happens like a fight with a friend or a bad day at work. That high THC may overwhelm them and cause them to get paranoid. Taking 2.5mg will help destress and take the edge off of a chaotic or stressful day and ease your mind & body.
