Micro-Dosing
"Micro-dosing" seems to be a trend and a word batted around quite a bit these days ..
It is applied towards LSD, psilocybin/magic mushrooms and cannabis/weed...
(and perhaps other substances that I am not aware are being micro-dosed)
As the word implies, it is a small dosage sometimes "applied" multiple times in a day.
Before we look at quantities, let's look at the WHY ...
In my case, I am a cannabis user who believes he is micro-dosing ...
If I consume too much cannabis I can "green out" or become lethargic ...
For me, a little bit goes a long way ... reduces inflammation & pain, energizes and feels good
Some get anxiety with weed, but when they consume just a little "indica" they love it
(Indica is a term used less often these days and I use it to refer to body stone)
For me cannabis/weed is all about the THC/TetraHydroCannibol and NOT about
CBD/CannaBiDiol or other cannabanoids.
So, how much do I consume and how much is a micro-dose ?
That's a 2024 DynaVapM7XL showing its various parts ...
As little as 0.05mg of weed can be loaded and gives me three sessions ...
Recently I also started using some Arizer e-vape products, thanks to IQ
So, how many mg of THC am I consuming in a session ?
50mg of cannabis in three sessions with 20%THC that is consumed @ about 50% rate
That's 50mg / 3 sessions times 10% THC = 50/3 * 0.1 = 1.666mg of THC
Literature (on the www) suggests anything under 5mg is a micro-dose...
Sometimes (on weekends/weak ends or FryDaze) I will smoke a 0.3g joint
How many mg THC is that ??
300mg * 10% THC extraction (smoking may be less than 10%) = 30mg +/-
That obviously is NOT micro-dosing ...
Even if I was to consume a whole DVM7 load i.e. take all three sessions at once
It would be 3 times 1.666 which is still close to the 5mg micro-dose level
and is a LOT for me !!! In other words, I rarely do that ...
unless it combusts 😳
