Simple explanation of weed dosage

California sober, gummy bears for anxiety, discreet vaping instead of alcohol for weight loss: Marijuana use has a whole new consumer population and is only growing. Even in Florida, Governor Desantis’ flagship state, 70% of the population has marijuana access. But for those new to cannabis use, understand that strength is key. Here you will find a simple explanation of weed dosage.

The dosage is similar to alcoholic alcohol. While alcohol content is a measure of the alcohol content of a drink, dosage indicates strength. New users should lean towards the low side to ensure a good ride or relief (depending on why you are consuming).

The way you consume can also be responsible for the effect. Flowers, e-cigarettes, and edibles all work a little differently. When you consume a food, the cannabinoids are processed through the liver and stomach, not the lungs. Therefore, pay attention to the instructions. It may also take 40 to 90 minutes to arrive. So relax and don’t take any more until you start your journey.
