Microdosing Guide

What microdosing is

Microdosing means using very small amounts of cannabis that you barely notice subjectively, but that improve functioning.

It’s not “smoking less” - it’s fine-tuning yourself: no euphoria, no slowdown, no “lift-off”.


Why it’s used

  • Background anxiety

  • Recovery after illness, poor sleep, burnout

  • Emotional flatness (“can’t feel anything”)

  • Work that needs soft concentration

  • Social situations without internal tension

  • ADHD and sensitivity to overstimulation

  • When you want “tone, not a high”


How to do it

1. Dose

  • 1–2 inhales from a vaporizer

  • 0.02–0.05 g flower

  • 1–3 mg THC + 5–15 mg CBD

  • Oil, capsule, vape, or a small hand-rolled amount

If you feel the effect — it’s no longer micro. Microdosing is “not high, but eased”.


2. Timing

  • Morning: instead of coffee or alongside it

  • Midday: when tension builds

  • Evening: to unwind without knocking yourself out

Not by schedule — by state. If you notice yourself tightening up, that’s the window.


3. OG Lab strains

  • AC/DC CBD → anytime, daily baseline; stabilization and calm

  • Big Energy Detroit → work, tasks, movement; focus and motivation

  • Blueberry Bang Bang → afternoon fatigue, background stress; calm body state

  • Trop Cherry Gas → evening decompression; easing overload


Principles of microdosing

  1. Baseline > peak. Stability beats intensity.

  2. Less = smarter. If unsure, wait. Don’t chase the effect.

  3. Hydration, movement, breathing support the process.

  4. Avoid sugar and alcohol around dosing: they blur the signal.

  5. Not every single day. Sensitivity matters.


Signs you hit the sweet spot

  • Nothing gets in the way

  • Thoughts flow but don’t loop

  • The body doesn’t demand attention

  • A quiet, steady confidence

  • Life feels more like gliding than grinding


Summary

Microdosing isn’t a “weak effect”. It’s a precise one. A format where cannabis works with you, not over you.

It’s like adjusting focus or tuning acoustics to a room.

You stay yourself — just a clearer, lighter version.
