When it comes to dosing cannabinoid products, it's important to start low and go slow, especially if you are new to using them or have a low tolerance. Here are some guidelines for dosing three common types of cannabinoid products: edibles, oils, and smokeables.
Edibles
Edibles can take longer to kick in than other methods of consumption. They can also be more potent and have longer-lasting effects than smoking or vaping. It’s best to start with a low dose, around 5-10mg of THC, and wait 1-2 hours to see how you feel before consuming more. It's important to read the label carefully, as different products have different amounts of THC or CBD.

Oils
Cannabinoid oils are usually taken sublingually (under the tongue), mixed into food or drink, or applied topically. Start with a low dose, around 5-10mg, and wait to see how you feel before taking more. Make sure to read the label carefully to determine the strength of the oil and how much to take.
With CBD oil, it may take 1-2 weeks for your body to respond. Consistent use generally produces the best results.
Make sure to consult with your healthcare professional for medication interactions, especially if your medication has a grapefruit warning.

Smokeables
When it comes to smoking or vaping, the effects are typically felt within minutes. Start with a low dose, such as one puff, and wait to see how you feel before taking more.
Keep in mind that smoking or vaping can be harsh on the lungs and throat, so it's important to take it easy and not overdo it.

Overall, the key to dosing cannabinoid products is to start low and go slow, listen to your body, and be patient. Everyone's body chemistry is different, so what works for one person may not work for another.
