Microdosing
Microdosing is when you consume cannabis in amounts small enough that you don’t feel high or you carry a low-grade high substantial enough to manage pain or another ailment but leave you able to function and get stuff done.
Consumers often microdose cannabis to help reduce and manage pain, inflammation, and anxiety.
The precise dosage of ∆9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other cannabinoids in edibles gives you more control when microdosing. You can cut gummies into pieces; some manufacturers make products of low-THC, 1-5mg.
People seek out cannabinoids other than THC, which is good for pain. Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) are cannabinoids used to address inflammation, and research suggests many beneficial properties of cannabinoids.
“Pre-clinical findings show that CBG reduces intraocular pressure, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumoral activities, and has anti-anxiety, neuroprotective, dermatological, and appetite-stimulating effects.” 1
Microdosing is an excellent way to try a new product to see how it affects you.
