Finding the right dose is crucial for cannabis wellness. Learn the "start low, go slow" method and factors that affect your ideal cannabinoid dose.
Cannabinoid dosing is highly individual - what works for your friend might not work for you. Factors like body weight, metabolism, tolerance, the specific product, and your wellness goals all play a role. The golden rule is always "start low and go slow" - you can always take more, but you can't take less.
**CBD Dosing:** Most people start with 10-25mg daily. For wellness maintenance, 15-30mg is common. For specific concerns like pain or anxiety, 25-50mg+ may be needed. **THC Dosing:** Start VERY low (1-2.5mg) if you're new. A "standard" dose is 5mg, but many people feel great at 2.5mg. Experienced users may use 10-20mg. **CBN for Sleep:** 2.5-5mg is typically effective. **Product Type Matters:** Sublinguals work in 15-30 min. Edibles take 60-90 min but last longer. Topicals provide localized relief without systemic effects.
Week 1: Start with the lowest recommended dose. Week 2: If needed, increase by 5mg (CBD) or 1mg (THC). Continue adjusting until you find your "sweet spot." Keep a journal tracking dose, timing, and effects. For THC: ALWAYS wait at least 2 hours with edibles before taking more. For CBD: Give it 2-4 weeks of consistent use to fully assess effects.
