Understanding Dosage

Finding the proper doses with cannabis products for your symptoms and relief can be difficult. It’s important to remember to always start slow. Depending on the type of cannabis product you're consuming, you'll want to test out adjusting your dose and consider how it's impacting your desired effects.

Depending on your symptoms and/or desired effects, knowing the cannabinoid content of your cannabis products is crucial for providing optimal relief. You should also assess the product packaging as it typically includes a serving size to help with dosage. Everyone has a different tolerance level that should be considered when determining dosage as well.

As a form of alternative medicine, cannabis has been known to help provide relief or aid for ailments such as:

• Chronic pain
• Multiple sclerosis and nerve pain
• Parkinson’s disease (muscle relaxant)
• Nausea
• Weight loss
• Fibromyalgia
• Endometriosis
• Crohn's disease
• PTSD
• Seizures
• Arthritis
• Glaucoma
• Insomnia

Unfortunately, unlike most medications in the market, cannabis cannot be recommended for specific dosing amounts and frequencies simply based on age and body weight. What is important to remember is that different dosages will work for different people. It is crucial to start off at lower doses and make adjustments depending on the effectiveness of reducing symptoms.
