End the stigma – Why medical and recreational users need to get along

There is a new marijuana movement that has become a favorite of new users. But the presence of this new movement does not mean that the old order has gone, causing conflict between these two industries.

Cannabis is gaining recognition and becoming more acceptable as research reveals its benefits and highlights the importance of the negative stigma over the years.

This time, the focus is on consumers and their choices about the consumption and use of cannabis. Some are microdosers (take cannabis in smaller doses mainly for medicinal purposes) and others are macro dosers (take cannabis in larger amounts). What is the conflict between the two groups and why should they get along? Read on for answers.

Who are micro dispensers?

Microdosers are cannabis users who take things slowly and enjoy smaller amounts of cannabis at the same time. This approach is more appealing to medical marijuana patients who can purchase cannabis to treat certain health problems.

Some of the health problems are stress, anxiety, severe pain, and chronic headaches. These are cannabis users who want to enjoy the effects of cannabis without feeling overwhelmed by them; they don’t want to get uncomfortably high.

Microdosing cannabis has become very popular with recreational cannabis users as many recreational users enjoy the way the plat feels. They also realize that ingesting cannabis in larger quantities can be too much, especially since they have no intention of getting refined.

Who are macro dispensers?

Macrodoers, on the other hand, take a much higher amount of cannabis for recreational and medicinal purposes (with prescription). Unlike the microdosers, you start enjoying your cannabis the way you want and with the amount of doses you want.

Macro dispensers are the old cannabis users who are short of cannabis. But these are older users who can also control themselves when in such a high state.

It is commonplace for older and new groups to argue about acceptable behavior for use in any industry, which is no different in the cannabis industry. This “standard” application debate has led to the rift between micro-dispensers and macro-dispensers.

Cannabis: the dispute

A plant that has had many mixed reactions across America has now become a curious one. The weed overhaul has made some headway as hemp-based cannabis gets the thumbs up from the mainstream media. People wonder, “why is cannabis labeled a harmful drug by the government, but is it okay for us to consume alcohol?”

We know alcohol is worse than cannabis because while alcohol is a neurotoxic substance, cannabis is used for neuroprotection. There is still a new rift between the “new” cannabis industry and the old marijuana industry that represents the micro-dosers versus the macro-dosers.

The older industry often sees the sector as patronizing and anchored by greedy companies. On the other hand, newbies believe the lies about the lazy stoner.

Both groups (micro-dispensers and macro-dispensers) have similar ideas: They do not want to be judged. So while we’ve been observing the starting point of cannabis acceptance, what else can be done? Both camps need to be reconciled, because only through reconciliation and fellowship can cannabis be taken to the next level.

No more judgment

Although I belong to the micro-dispenser group, I am not, and neither should you, judge against macro-dispensers. If we all believe that marijuana is compared to drugs, how can edible 5 mg differ from 50 mg? At what dose do the medicinal properties of cannabis disappear? Well never!

While it’s true that not everyone should be consuming 50-1,000 mg of THC a day, some people need this amount to feel great, rest, and relieve pain. Just as you need 3mg, others may need more to fight off disease and disease.

The cancer-resistant substances in marijuana are dose-dependent, which means that the higher the dose, the greater the ability to fight cancer or pain. There’s tolerance too: regular use of cannabis means you can build higher levels of resistance. Therefore, after a long period of dedicated cannabis use, it is not shocking to see that someone needs an increased dose to feel high.

Interestingly, the stigma associated with cannabis use is also unfounded. Edible cannabis is at the top of the microdoser, vaping, smoking and at the peak of the macrodoser. These methods of consumption are all littered with a certain illegality.

However, this gap between micro- and macro-dosers is only due to legitimate restrictions that limit edible dosages to a maximum of 10 mg, making taking higher doses a prudent move that is extremely problematic and expensive. This step also leaves macro dispensers limited to flowers, wax, and smashing.

So while edibles are the healthier way of consuming cannabis (this protects the lungs), macro dosers in the grocery department are (financially and legally) a poor choice.

Make changes and adjustments

Some high-dose customers like cannabis but complained about the low dose: They didn’t want to take five mints before they felt something. Others may complain that it is too high to begin with; both sides are often at the end of the complainant.

Interestingly, macro dosing offers the same benefits as microdosing. Just as it feels weird to get a suspicious look at a party when you take marijuana over alcohol, you may also need to reconsider before punishing a high dose person.

Bottom line

Marijuana may be standardized and federally legalized in the future, all shame and negative tags related to cannabis must be removed, and the cannabis industry should welcome all of its customers. Regardless of the client’s preferences, high or low, they should be respected and accepted as we all have different reasons for using cannabis.

Micro-dosers and macro-dosers should get along because cannabis use is very personal. If you’re a micro-doser, you may not understand why someone else is a macro-doser. But with mutual respect, acceptance, and a non-judgmental attitude, people can be themselves and enjoy cannabis however they want.
