The Microdose Method: Harnessing the Therapeutic Benefits of Cannabis

  Microdosing cannabis is a growing trend among those looking for the therapeutic benefits of marijuana without the intense psychoactive effects. This method involves taking small doses of cannabis, usually in the form of edibles or tinctures, throughout the day.

Additionally, micro-dosing allows for more consistent relief from symptoms, as opposed to taking larger doses sporadically, which can lead to inconsistent effects. Another advantage of micro-dosing cannabis is that it can be used to treat a wide range of conditions. For example, it is effective in reducing symptoms of chronic pain, anxiety, and depressi...
