Perfecting Cannabis Usage
(Image credit: https://www.medmen.com/blog/guides/how-to-enjoy-cannabis) Cannabis experiences can be euphoric and also result in a most unpleasant feeling. Dosage and experience using cannabis are the two primary variable factors. Other key considerations include:
Bodyweight
Your endocannabinoid system (ECS)
Gastrointestinal factors
General health
It also depends how one consumes cannabis. In most cases, ingestion of cannabis (compared to smoking or vaping) takes a longer time to take effect, produces a stronger “high,” and a prolonged period of symptoms.

You can always intake more, if you want a stronger effect, but if you over-consume, you may be stuck riding out an uncomfortable situation. Consider the following dosages for cannabis flower:
10% THC or less: flower in this range is considered mild
10 - 20% THC: strong for beginners and often just right for casual consumers
20% THC and above: some of the strongest weed you'll find
(Source: https://weedmaps.com/learn/products-and-how-to-consume/decide-how-much-to-take) If you are vaping cannabis, take note of the vape's THC percentage before you consume. Again - start out slow - take one pull on your vape pen. Allow yourself 15 minutes before vaping more in order to get a good sense of the potency you feel. Then there is “dab concentrates.” We recommend that dabbing be only used by experienced cannabis users as the potency is typically the highest levels of psychoactive ingredients.With regards to edibles, THC contents are clearly labeled in milligrams on the package. The standard dose is 10mg, but your dose really depends on your level of cannabis use experience. Consider cutting the edible in quarters, thirds, or halves to start out. Wait about 1 hour before you consume more. You’ll want to take less if this is your first venture into the world of cannabis edibles. If it’s your first time, consider a microdose of cannabis food products like 0.5-2mg of cannabis-infused edibles and see how your body reacts. Your cannabis experience level is not the only characteristic that dictates the level of consumption that is right for. You also need to consider what you are looking to get out of cannabis? Do you merely want to relax? Enhance your creativity? Get a mild high? Or are you seeking a strong or trippy experience?The secret to a great cannabis experience is knowing what the right dosage is for you.
