Cannabis Dosage & Timing — How to Find Your Sweet Spot
Why Dosage Matters More Than Strain
Many uncomfortable cannabis experiences come from too much THC, too fast—not from the wrong strain. Dosage determines intensity, clarity, and duration more than product type alone. Even the highest-quality flower or edible can feel overwhelming if the amount consumed exceeds your comfort level.
Finding your ideal dose leads to predictable, enjoyable outcomes and helps you better understand how your body responds over time.
THC Dosage by Consumption Method
General guidelines:
Inhalation (flower/vape):
1–2 small puffs
Wait 15–30 minutes before increasing
Edibles:
2.5–5 mg THC
Wait at least 2 hours before consuming more
Concentrates:
Very small amounts
Only for experienced users due to higher potency
Everyone’s tolerance, metabolism, and endocannabinoid system are different—these are starting points, not strict rules.
Timing Your Cannabis Use
Timing influences how cannabis feels and functions in your day:
Daytime: lighter doses, uplifting terpene profiles, clearer mental effects
Evening: slightly higher doses, calming or relaxing effects
Before activities: moderation is key to maintain awareness and control
Avoid driving or operating machinery while impaired, and always plan your setting in advance.
How Tolerance Builds (and Resets)
Regular use can increase tolerance, meaning you may need more THC to feel the same effects. Taking breaks—often called tolerance breaks—can help reset sensitivity, reduce overall consumption, and improve long-term enjoyment while saving money and maintaining balance.
Responsible Use = Better Experiences
Responsible cannabis use means:
Knowing your dose
Respecting onset time
Choosing quality, lab-tested products
Consuming in appropriate settings
This approach leads to consistency, comfort, and confidence.
