Dosage: Finding the Right Balance for CBD and THC

Determining the appropriate dosage of CBD and THC is essential for a safe, effective, and personalized experience. Below, we’ll guide you through key considerations to help you start low, monitor your body’s response, and adjust your intake for optimal results.

CBD Dosage

CBD dosage varies significantly from person to person and depends on factors such as:

  • Body weight
  • Individual body chemistry
  • The condition being treated

How to Get Started:

  • Begin with a low dose, typically between 10–20 mg per day.
  • Gradually increase the dosage until the desired effects are achieved.
  • Monitor your body’s response and avoid exceeding the maximum dose recommended on your product’s label.

Pro Tip: Always consult a healthcare professional before starting CBD, especially if you are taking other medications or managing a chronic condition.


THC Dosage

When it comes to THC, finding the right dose is equally important to minimize side effects and maximize benefits.

How to Get Started:

  • Start with a low dose, usually between 2.5–10 mg of THC.
  • Wait at least 2 hours before increasing the dose to assess its effects.
  • Gradually adjust your dosage based on your tolerance, sensitivity, and therapeutic goals.

Factors to Consider:

  • Individual tolerance and sensitivity
  • Desired therapeutic outcomes (e.g., pain relief, relaxation, appetite stimulation)
  • The specific product or strain being used

Key Reminder: Regularly monitor your response and adjust your dosage as needed, preferably under medical supervision. This helps ensure you receive the full therapeutic benefits while reducing the risk of overconsumption or unwanted side effects.

By starting low and proceeding gradually, you can safely explore the benefits of CBD and THC while tailoring the experience to your unique needs.
