💧 How to Find Your Perfect Cannabis Dose

Hey friends, Buddy here. Let’s talk about one of the most common questions I get from new patients:

“How much should I take?”

When it comes to medical cannabis, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. That’s because everyone’s endocannabinoid system is unique, its like a fingerprint. So instead of guessing, let’s learn how to find your perfect dose safely and calmly. 🌿

🌱 Step 1: Start low, go slow

You’ve probably heard this phrase before, and for good reason. Cannabis medicine works best when you ease into it.

Start with the lowest effective dose recommended by your clinic or product guide. Give your body time to adjust, usually two to three days at the same dose, before changing anything.

Buddy tip:

Think of it like brewing tea, you can always steep it longer, but you can’t un-brew it. ☕

⏱️ Step 2: Be patient

Cannabis isn’t like taking a painkiller where you feel it instantly (unless you’re vaporising). Some forms, like oils or capsules, take 30 to 90 minutes to kick in, and build up over time.

So, take it slow. Give your body the full chance to respond before deciding it’s not working.

💬 Step 3: Keep a little dose diary

This is the secret weapon most patients overlook. Grab a notebook or use your phone and jot down:

Time	Product / Strain	Dose	Method	Effects / Notes
8:00 am	CBD:THC 10:10 oil	0.2 ml	Oral	Felt relaxed, no grogginess
9:00 pm	Indica flower	1 inhale	Vape	Helped sleep, dry mouth

After a week, you’ll start spotting patterns, what helps you most, what’s too strong, and when your body likes to dose.

💚 Step 4: Adjust gently

Once you’ve tracked for a few days, small adjustments make a big difference. If symptoms aren’t easing, increase it slightly; if you feel groggy or anxious, pull back a little.

Always adjust in small steps, especially with THC-dominant products, and follow any medical advice from your prescriber.

🌸 Step 5: Remember the goal — balance, not buzz

Medical cannabis isn’t about chasing a feeling; it’s about finding stability. When you’ve reached your ideal dose, you should feel better, calmer, clearer, more comfortable, but still you.

That’s when you’ve found your sweet spot.

✌️ Buddy’s takeaway

Your perfect dose isn’t on the label, it’s in how your body responds. Be patient, pay attention, and trust the process.

Nature’s medicine works best when you meet it halfway. 🌿

Until next time, Buddy 💚
