The Gentle Guide to Micro-Dosing
Less is more. Discover the art of low-dose cannabis edibles.
What is Micro-Dosing?
Micro-dosing means consuming very small amounts of THC — typically 1-5mg per serving. The goal is to achieve subtle therapeutic benefits without intense psychoactive effects.
Potential Benefits
Users report reduced anxiety, improved focus, mild pain relief, better sleep quality, and enhanced creativity — all without feeling "high."
Who Is It For?
Beginners, those with low tolerance, anyone seeking functional relief throughout the day, or experienced users looking for a subtler approach.

The Careful Fellow's Titration Guide
Start low, go slow. A 4-week guide to finding your sweet spot.
Start with 1mg per serving. Take in the evening. Wait at least 2 hours before considering more. Note any effects, even subtle ones.
If 1mg felt comfortable, increase to 2.5mg. This is the most common micro-dose range. Many people find their sweet spot here.
If you want slightly more effect, try 5mg. This is the upper end of micro-dosing. You may notice more pronounced effects.
By now you should know which dose works best. Stick with it. Consider keeping a journal to track effects over time.
Tips for Success
- Always wait at least 2 hours before taking more — edibles take time
- Take notes on timing, effects, and what you ate beforehand
- Consistency matters — try the same dose for several days before adjusting
- Eating on an empty vs. full stomach can change onset time and intensity
- CBD can moderate THC effects — consider a balanced ratio
