Because the goal of microdosing cannabis is to reap the subtle background benefits of cannabis without becoming overwhelmingly stoned the best method for how to microdose weed will vary greatly from person to person. If you have a high tolerance from years of heavy and repeated use of smoking cannabis products and edibles then your microdose will be a bit larger than the dose necessary for a cannabis newbie,
The best method is experimentation and a little trial and error. Microdosing weed is a fun journey that a lot of us now find ourselves in a unique position to be able to explore and experiment with. Try using only a very small amount and keep in mind that the idea is only to enjoy the effects of cannabis that are not intoxicating. Much like smoking or using a CBD focused strain you will not be enjoying the intoxicating effects of cannabis but taking advantage of the relaxation, focus boosting or pain relief that microdosing marijuana can provide.
In order to reap the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without becoming stoned the best practice is to start with the smallest possible amount. A tiny pipe or one hitter could work well in this circumstance or you could try using low doses of edibles for a longer lasting and slower burning effect. Edibles are likely the easiest option for microdosing cannabis as you can eat very little of a low dose edible and be certain you are only getting a small amount of cannnabis.
It can be a bit trickier if you are smoking when you are trying microdosing weed as it can be very easy to overdo it using this method. If you are a regular smoker it can be hard to determine just how little will do the trick and if you are new to smoking even the smallest amount may be enough to send you spinning. We don’t recommend smoking for microdosing marijuana for this reason.
Vaping is a great option for those looking to microdose especially with new technologies emerging that can assist you in controlling your doses. Many new vapes come with the ability to program them using phone applications that can be downloaded on android or iphone devices. These tools allow you to fine tune the temperature of your device as well as set limits on the dose levels it will dispense in each hit or even lock down the unit entirely when issues of self control present themselves.
Tinctures and capsules are also great options as you can fine tune your dosage and be certain you are only getting exactly the tiny amount that you need to properly microdose weed.
