Edibles Guide Part 2. Dosage for Beginners and More Experienced Consumers

Part 2. Dosage for beginners and more experienced consumers.

As you remember from Part 1 of the Edibles series, the right dose of Edibles depends on a lot of things. Take a look at the following to calculate your dosage.

Considering the fact that the state of Colorado recommends one unit of Edibles, that is THC 10 mg, let us consider this a starting point. Please note that an Edible unit can contain 25mg, 100 mg, and even 300mg. Basically, they are designed to ensure that the consumer divides it into necessary and convenient doses. But if you take the most common and popular ones, they are usually 10 mg.

For your first time, it is recommended to take a half of the recommended dose, i.e 5mg, but you must also take into account the secondary factors described in Part 1, and perhaps consider taking just a quarter - you do not want to ruin your acquaintance with edibles by overdoing it. Remember that you can always take MORE, but you can not go back and take LESS. So to avoid overconsumption and considering the time it takes for the effects to kick in, we strongly recommend starting with smaller doses.

Users who consume edibles often and have a higher tolerance, usually due to a medical condition, often opt for larger doses of Edibles to treat chronic pain, insomnia and other medical conditions. But even then, we recommend increasing the dose gradually. Namely, avoiding steep increases from 10 mg to 20 mg - do it gradually and safely.

Consuming more than 25 mg during your first encounter is advisable in case of serious medical conditions, and these doses should be prescribed by a special Medical Marijuana Doctor. It is strongly recommended not to increase the dose significantly without acute medical need. Only you and your caregiver can determine what daily dose works best for you. Finding your ideal ratio of cannabinoids often requires experimenting with different potency and types of infused edibles while tracking your progress in a journal.
