    I mean. There’s smoking every day, and getting stoned every day. The right strains in the right (micro)dosage can be life-saving medicine.

      How do you make that switch though? I would love to just be a micro dosing THC user, because it does help me out with a lot of things up to a point, where it quickly becomes too much

        Go to a dispo and ask for small dose edibles. Depending on where you are you can find edibles as low as 2.5mgs per dose. You should be able to find 10mg edibles anywhere you go and if you get something like a chocolate bar that you can further subdivide yourself you can fine tune your dose. The only pitfall is tolerance creeping up the more often you take it.

        ETA: And if you want to limit your smoking amount, just buy a one hitter. Having to clear and load the pipe to get more than a little high will help prevent you from overdoing it.

        Just put less than you normally would and be discipline about not going for more. There is no definition for what a micro dose is. Its just understood to be less. Try just doing half of what you normally do for a week and see how you feel from there.

        i mean how do you consume? i use a dry herb vape and it works great for microdosing, also helps you get more value for your weed. also type 2 weed, or just mixing in some cbd strains, might help get you where you need

        From experience, try to use strains with less THC and higher CBD and it generally will help. Then taking time to see what dosage is a good balance of pain relief without making you high, and for how long before using again. There’s more to it, but that typically will be the easiest change to make. When you build a tolerance, make very small changes. It’s difficult, but you’ll start go see the effects if you stick with it. Cannabis is strong as hell these days lol

        Just smoke every day and eventually every dose of weed will feel like a microdose.

        I dab every evening for sleep (go through a gram of concentrate every 2-3 days) and guess what? I don’t get high anymore. Just a minor head change for the next 15-20 minutes.
