Typical Doses
People vary substantially in their sensitivity to
THC, the effects they seek, and effects considered problematic. Optimal
doses are therefore individual matters, typically requiring experience
to identify.
Some people prefer doses of 2.5mg THC. Others take
over 150mg THC or more; there's quite a range. The former dose is mild
for almost all users, while the latter is highly intoxicating.
Although individual sensitivity varies, and formal
research is limited, anecdotal observations suggest some tentative
guidelines for edible THC:
-
2 mg: is the threshold of psychoactivity for
infrequent users. Very little to no impairment.
-
·2.5 mg: most report psychoactivity equal
to a glass of wine or a beer. Doses in this range are popular for social
anxiety, encouraging the munchies, and focus.
-
5 mg: nearly all occasional users will note
significant psychoactivity. Significant appetite stimulation. Mild
psychoactivity, akin to two to three glasses of wine.
-
10 mg: Strong psychoactivity for most occasional
users. Significant distraction from pain. This dose is often recommended
by physicians to stem nausea from chemotherapy.
-
15 mg: Most occasional users report uncomfortable
levels of psychoactivity at this dose. Regular users of cannabis do
not.

Doses of 30mg THC to 100mg THC are
commonly preferred by those who use edibles frequently and do not
consider psychoactivity aversive.

The Right Dose for You
Here are some general suggestions for arriving at
ideal doses to consider with your physician:
-
larger doses produce more intense and longer
lasting effects.
-
overdose (taking too much) can be seriously
unpleasant: Accidental overdoses aren't fatal, but taking too much
can be frightening, so here are ways to minimize that risk:
-
Start with a low dose, less than you think
will be ideal. You can take more next time if necessary, but only
time will reverse the effects of taking too much.
-
Wait at least 90 minutes (preferably 120
minutes, or 3 to 4 hours if swallowed on a full stomach) before
taking more CoconutTHC. It may take that long to fully experience
the first dose, so consuming more too soon is unpredictable.
-
If you need more THC, it is probably safer
for those who smoke or vaporize cannabis to supplement that way,
rather than prematurely taking more orally. Inhaled effects are
easier to manage because they are apparent in minutes and shorter in
duration: You know the effects before taking more, and the
consequences of taking too much dissipate more quickly.
-
Avoid mixing drugs, especially until familiar
with effects of the CoconutTHC. Alcohol and other CNS-depressants
can intensify cannabis effects, and vice versa.
