Finding The Right Dose of Marijuana For You

As human beings we are all just a little bit different. Our bodies and minds respond differently to all sorts of stimuli based on numerous and uncountable factors, so it is super important to keep this in mind when it comes to consuming marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. It can take some time to find the dose of marijuana that is just right for you; however, finding the right amount of cannabis to consume will allow you to enjoy the experience more and create a more positive outcome for you and your medical needs.


Doctors have their hands full when it comes to prescribing medical marijuana, mostly because cannabis is different from a lot of other prescriptions. Like I said before, each person's body responds to marijuana a little bit differently than others. This means that marijuana dosing is unique and should not be prescribed like other prescription medication. So how can you know what amount of cannabis is right for you? Well, the good news for you is that I am writing this article to help you out. I hope that you can learn some valuable information about marijuana consumption and how much is right for you.



To start, I want to say that all good marijuana and cannabis dosing starts with some solid planning. What do I mean by that? Well, it’s no secret that marijuana can have it’s risks when consumed. Like all other prescriptions, marijuana can have some adverse effects that not everyone loves to experience. One of the more common symptoms is dizziness, which many people report feeling after they have had a bit too much marijuana. However, other symptoms include sleepiness, dry mouth, dry eyes, anxiousness (from consuming too much or having marijuana with too high of a THC dose), and balance/coordination problems.


However, marijuana is actually a very safe thing to consume if you do it responsibility and with proper planning. The first thing to learn is how much marijuana you can tolerate, as well as the method that you are planning to consume the plant. This is because the side effects and benefits of cannabis can vary a bit depending on how you consume it. For example, you could consume it orally, sublingually, or even through a vape. 




Either way, all doctors and medical professionals recommend that you start consuming marijuana at a very low dose if it is your first time. It just so happens that many new users do not feel any effect from the first few times they use it. While this may sound disappointing to some, it is much better to not necessarily feel any effects of the marijuana rather than take too much and deal with unhealthy side effects. Just know that, if you are using marijuana for the first time, it can be completely normal to not even feel anything; and that’s okay! To start off with, I highly suggest planning about a week for the sensitization period (and this does not change depending on the consumption method you choose). Some experts even recommend that you partake in CBD consumption to get your body and mind more used to the effects of marijuana. CBD that has less than 0.3% THC is preferred.




After you have gotten used to consuming marijuana, it is important to find the dose that is therapeutic for you. In this stage, the method of consumption does have an impact on how long or how short you experience the effects for. It is also important to note that some methods will cause you to feel the effects in a few minutes, while others can take hours.
