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.

Finding your ideal dose leads to predictable, enjoyable outcomes.

THC Dosage by Consumption Method

General guidelines:

Inhalation (flower/vape):

  • 1–2 small puffs

  • Wait 15–30 minutes

Edibles:

  • 2.5–5 mg THC

  • Wait at least 2 hours

Concentrates:

  • Very small amounts

  • Only for experienced users

Everyone’s tolerance is different—these are starting points, not rules.

Timing Your Cannabis Use

Timing influences how cannabis feels and functions in your day:

  • Daytime: lighter doses, uplifting terpene profiles

  • Evening: higher doses, calming effects

  • Before activities: moderation is key

Avoid driving or operating machinery while impaired.

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 and improve long-term enjoyment.

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.

Cannabis works best when it fits your rhythm. West Clinik helps you dial in dosage, timing, and product selection so every session feels intentional—not overwhelming.
