Ingesting cannabis oil results in a much longer lasting effect than does inhaling so it can be much more effective in managing pain and other conditions.
Inhalation of cannabinoids may last about 3 hours whereas ingestion may last 6 – 10 hours or even longer. Novice marijuana users, in particular, must be very conservative in the amount of oil they ingest when first starting to use THC OIL, until they can determine the effect. Too high a dose of THC can be very unpleasant, especially if you are not experienced with the effects of THC.

With CBD OIL this is not as important as CBD is non-psychotropic …… it will not get you “high”. However, it is still best to always start with lower doses and gradually increase the amount to determine the amount that will result in an optimal benefit. Sometimes, “Less is More”. For instance, studies on CBD for anxiety indicate that a high dose of CBD can be less effective than a low or moderate dose of CBD. A high dose of CBD can, in some people, actually increase anxiety.

Originally I included a link on this page to the Mayo Clinic where they had an article on dosage of cannabis for various medical conditions but that link has since been removed from their Web Site. However, if you are interested in reading it, there is a document with that information available HERE. The information in that document is based mainly, however, on synthetic cannabinoids which may react differently than natural cannabis oils so follow those recommendations with caution.

Dosing of cannabis oils is individual….it can be different for different people.

Your best option is to START LOW AND GO SLOW until you can determine the best dose for your individual condition.

THC and CBD are synergistic…they always work best when taken together, each enhancing the benefits of the other. Even small amounts of one cannabinoid can improve the effects of the other.

Using the form below you can determine the exact amount of oil to take in order to obtain the desired dose. You can also determine what dose you are getting from a certain amount of oil. Even for experienced marijuana users it is good to be able to control the exact dosage you are receiving.

Novice cannabis patients should start with 2mg to determine a comfortable dose. Experienced cannabis patients might start with a 5mg – 10mg dose.

When ingesting THC always allow at least 2 hours to gauge the effect !!

Novice patients should first begin with 2mg of THC.

Experienced marijuana patients might start with 5mg – 10mg of THC then alter the amount the next time to get the desired effect.

START LOW AND GO SLOW !
