Using cannabis to heal ailments, relieve pain, and even provide spiritual insight has been done for centuries. With the usage of cannabis on the rise, understanding its properties and how it can work for you is a must. Whether you are on a spiritual journey or you’re looking to use cannabis for medical purposes, understanding the concept of microdosing is essential before getting started with one of the world's most popular plants.
Microdosing involves taking a small dosage of a substance, whether cannabis or a psychedelic substance such as psilocybin mushrooms, for medical and/or recreational purposes. The concept of microdosing is not new, and has been around since psychedelics and therapeutics were discovered. Some of the most well-known substances that individuals are microdosing today include:
Microdosing any substance, whether plant or powder-based, requires an in-depth understanding of the substance's properties as well as how it affects individuals based on weight and current state of mind. One measured microdose may provide exactly what one individual needs, but fall short for another. Tweaking the microdose amount you select for cannabis is highly recommended as you become more comfortable with the substance and know what to expect upon ingestion.
Generally, microdosing is considered a dose that is a fraction of a standard or typical dosage of a substance. Oftentimes, a microdose may be as little as 1 percent of a standard plant or medicinal dose.
The benefits of microdosing vary greatly and will likely depend on the substance you are microdosing, your purpose for microdosing, as well as your weight and state of mind upon taking or ingesting your chosen microdose. Some of the most notable advantages of microdosing that are being studied and quantified include:
Finding the right tincture dosage chart for microdosing is not as simple or as straightforward as selecting one chart and moving on. Microdosing is an extremely individualized experience, which is why it is so important to understand the basics of microdosing cannabis as well as the basic measurements of cannabis microdoses.
When getting started with cannabis for medical purposes or for the expressed purpose of microdosing, it is important to note that most marijuana flower and concentrates are measured by the percentage of THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. Microdosing with extremely potent concentrates and/or flower is not advisable until you are familiar with your own reactions and responses to smaller doses of cannabis, typically in tincture and/or edible form.
Although most cannabis flower strains, concentrates, and waxes showcase the percentage of THC as a high number (anywhere from 17 percent for flower to nearly 90 percent for concentrates), edibles and tinctures are typically measured by milligram, or mg.
A basic guide to milligrams of THC is as follows:
Tinctures are optimal for medicinal cannabis use as well as microdosing, as they are immediately absorbed by the mouth and are extremely fast-acting. Most tinctures list their THC milligrams as well as dosage instructions on each individual package. Use the same caution as you would when eating an edible or consuming THC by the milligram for optimal results.
Start with a tincture dosage of 1–2 MG and wait at least 24 hours to determine whether or not the dosage has provided you with relief or positive side effects.
