Microdosing Edibles: Start Low, Go Slow

Not everyone wants to be high. Many people — especially those using cannabis for wellness or medical reasons — just want a light, steady, functional effect. That is what microdosing is for.

What counts as a microdose

A microdose is roughly 1–2.5 mg of THC per serving. It is enough to take the edge off without impairment, and it is far more forgiving than guessing with a strong edible.

Why food is ideal for microdosing: a batch recipe spreads a tiny, consistent amount of infused fat across many servings, so each portion is even. Drinks and gummies are especially easy to portion precisely.

How to build a microdose recipe

Use only a small amount of infused fat and divide across many servings. Our green smoothie microdose (~3 mg) and chamomile CBD nightcap are built exactly this way. To design your own, open the Dosing Terminal, switch to "Hit a target dose", and set the target to 2–3 mg.

Consistency is everything

Mix infused batches thoroughly so the dose is even, and keep a simple log of what worked. With microdosing, the goal is a repeatable, gentle baseline — not a big experience.

Everyone metabolises edibles differently. Start at the low end, wait 2 hours, and never re-dose out of impatience.
