What Is Microdosing?

Microdosing cannabis is, in short, taking very measured and micro doses of marijuana in order to get slightly below the perceptible “high”. Therefore, a user ends up with a sub-perceptual effect which is so subtle that it won’t influence his or her mood and mindset. Microdosing marijuana has been called the experience of being on the verge of feeling stoned.

There are countless benefits of microdosing cannabis. Nonetheless, one of the brightest sides of this technique is its potential to finally defeat the “druggie-stoner” stereotype. In fact, a couple of years ago, nobody would’ve even thought that less is really more in terms of consuming marijuana.

Now, as microdosing cannabis gains popularity among its consumers, the herb may set the new trend in the world of medicine. This would entail the creation of legal framework for reliable dosage and ingredient information. Not surprisingly, that is of utmost importance when it comes to using drugs with purposeful intent. It really DOES make sense, doesn’t it?

I bet there have been countless times when you’ve aimed at that sub-perceptual experience, regardless of your given circumstances. So there you go! Microdosing can empower you to enjoy being “body functional and mind free”. Actually, the quoted expression is the essence of microdosing marijuana.

Now, it’s time to learn how to escape the world of garage bong passers and enter the realm of responsible stoners that society believes can’t possibly exist – at least not on a large scale.

Microdosing Marijuana: Baby Steps

The key to microdosing cannabis the right way is to know the starting dose. What’s the ideal ‘novice’ amount of THC? It’s believed that 5 milligrams should do the trick. However, the ideal starting point may vary depending on some factors. For example, Jeffrey Zucker, weed investor, suggests taking sub-5 mg doses. One edibles producer has studied this case according to sex, claiming that women can decrease the dose to 2-3 mg.

As you probably know, the variations go far beyond the matter of sex. The individual-dependent character of marijuana use means that there are more things that affect the perfect ‘dose’ of marijuana for beginners, namely the body type, mood, appetite, sleep habits, and weed tolerance. To cut the long story short, it’s all about trials and errors, so if you can take it slow and steady, it’s all the better.

Because of the ‘bi-modal’ nature of cannabis, medical professionals also recommend microdosing marijuana for the attainment of better mood and work results during the day. It’s important to understand that low doses cause different effects than higher cannabis doses.

In terms of microdosing marijuana, there are three options:

• Vaporization – it’s hands down the best option for microdosing cannabis. Not only will vaping allow you to avoid the harmful carcinogens, but it will provide you with the best accuracy. Last but not least, when you get handy with the various vaporization points, you’ll have a better control over the anticipated effects and you won’t produce that much waste.
• Combustion – although the easiest way to get started with microdosing marijuana, it’s actually the most expensive and least-healthy method of use with hardly any dosage control. In fact, a mere toke can get you beyond the accurate feeling of microdose. Health and dosage issues aside, a recent study found that 90% of combusted marijuana contained no cannabinoids or terpene compounds at all.
• Ingestion – edibles make it easier for people to microdose cannabis thanks to the dosage information provided by the manufacturers. However, keep in mind that the effects kick in much slower than if you smoked or vaped weed. So adjust the dose gradually until you reach the optimal dosage.

Now that you know the right approach to microdosing cannabis, it’s high time you learned why people prefer to take it slow and steady.

The Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis

Remember the LSD microdosing in Silicon Valley? Well, many professionals use cannabis in such a way for workday benefits such as increased creativity and better focus.

To be honest, there’s more than meets the eye in terms of the cannabis microdosing. Among the plethora of conditions treated with small doses of THC, you will find anxiety, chronic pain, stress, ADHD, indigestion, depressive stances, and inflammation.

Moreover, unlike LSD and magic mushrooms, safe daily cannabis microdosing actually exists. The upcoming revolution in marijuana consumption methods has made employment lawyers seek better solutions for workplace policies towards marijuana. Despite their experience and skills, many people are rejected for the job because they are admitted marijuana users. Microdosing the herb may eventually lead to serious changes in the work law so that all employees are treated equally.

But what if you miss the sweet spot and overindulge on marijuana? Don’t worry, you will return to your shape just fine after you sober up from the prolonged sleep, which is actually the worst thing that can happen to you when you take too much THC. If, for some reason, you can’t allow yourself to go to sleep during the day, there are capsules containing CBD. This cannabinoid counters the effects of THC. It’s really a ‘safety valve’ for novice microdosers who’ve gone too far with their cannabis dosage.

To sum up, whether you’re a grown-up stoner who wants to slow down on weed for the sake of better efficiency at work, or you’re just curious if this new approach to consuming marijuana works for you, microdosing cannabis is undoubtedly worth your while.
