Starting Low and Going Slow
Begin with a low dose to safely find what works for you. Start with 1–2.5 mg THC or 5 mg CBD to minimize side effects like anxiety or dizziness, especially if you’re new to cannabis. Wait 15–30 minutes for inhalation effects, or an hour for edibles, before increasing. Gradually adjust by 1–2.5 mg every 24–48 hours, pausing if you feel discomfort, to discover your ideal dose.
Different Administration Methods
Cannabis can be used in various ways. Inhalation, like smoking or vaping, acts fast within 5–10 minutes, ideal for quick relief, but may irritate lungs. Edibles and tinctures last longer, with edibles taking 30–60 minutes to work, perfect for sustained effects. Tinctures, taken under the tongue, start in 15–30 minutes. Topicals offer localized relief for pain without a high, while capsules provide consistent dosing for long-term use.
Monitoring Effects and Adjusting Dosage
Track your cannabis use in a journal, noting strain, dose, and effects on symptoms like pain or anxiety. Look for improvements, such as reduced discomfort, and watch for side effects like drowsiness. Adjust by increasing 1–2.5 mg THC or 5 mg CBD every 48 hours if needed, or reduce if side effects occur. Consult a doctor to ensure safe adjustments, especially if you’re on medications.
Special Considerations for Specific Conditions
Tailor dosing to your condition. For epilepsy, use high-CBD strains like Charlotte’s Web, starting at 5 mg twice daily. Chronic pain benefits from balanced THC-CBD strains, like 2.5 mg of each, using vapes for flare-ups. Anxiety and PTSD need CBD-dominant options with minimal THC, around 5–10 mg CBD. Cancer patients may adjust ratios for nausea or pain. Always monitor effects and consult a doctor for guidance.
