Microdosing has been causing a stir in the cannabis space, offering a mellow alternative to the more commonly found high-THC products. Advocates for the “less is more” approach point to smaller doses ramping up better benefits when it comes to THC and CBD. Take Shannon Barnett—the subject of a story we covered centering on the positive qualities of microdosing CBD—who found that just a couple of drops of infused tincture made a world of difference when addressing her chronic pain. A difference she hadn’t seen when trying stronger doses in a number of products.
All bodies are different; 50mg of THC may produce in one person the same effects that 10mg THC delivers to another. You might find that a dose as low as 5mg THC is the sweet spot for you, especially if you’re looking to harness the benefits of cannabis without the jarring euphoria or paranoia.
But in an industry saturated by high-THC strains and products, what microdosing options are available to you? Hard-hitting chocolates, candies, drinks, and snacks line dispensary shelves, often sporting a cool 100+mg THC label promising to take you to new heights. But for those of us in need of toned-down relief, finding the right products can be similar to pulling teeth. So, we compiled a list of a few microdosed products with 5mg or less of THC or CBD per serving, from subtle mints to tasty tinctures, to take the guesswork out of your next dispensary visit.
