When it comes to cannabis use, dosage refers to the amount consumed, whether smoked, vaped, eaten, dabbed or otherwise ingested.

Finding the right dose means identifying the quantity needed to achieve desired effects without overdoing it.

Let’s explore what constitutes a proper cannabis dose.

Ideal cannabis doses vary based on many factors:

Form – extracts provide stronger doses than the flower. Edibles require higher quantities than smoking.
Tolerance – frequent users need more than occasional consumers. Tolerance increases with consistent use.
Potency – high-THC products provide more intense doses than low-THC options.
Desired effects – smaller doses tend to provide more energetic highs, while larger doses promote relaxation.

As a rough guideline based on averages:

Start with the “low and slow” principle, ingesting small test doses and increasing gradually as needed.

This helps you find your ideal amount without negative side effects. Doses should be taken slowly over hours, not all at once.

Consistency is key to getting the dose right for your needs.
