Dosage refers to the specific amount of a substance, such as a medication or drug, that is recommended or prescribed for a particular individual. In the context of cannabis, dosage refers to the amount of cannabis or cannabis-derived products consumed to achieve the desired effects.
Determining the appropriate dosage of cannabis can be complex and varies depending on several factors, including an individual’s tolerance, body weight, metabolism, and the specific product being used. It is important to start with a low dose and gradually increase it until the desired effects are achieved while monitoring the body’s response and any potential side effects.
Different forms of cannabis products, such as dried flower, edibles, tinctures, or concentrates, may have different potency levels and require different dosing approaches. For example, when using dried flower, dosing is typically measured in grams, while with edibles, it is measured in milligrams of cannabinoids, such as THC or CBD.
