HOW TO DOSE
Route of administration
General Dosing
Cannabis has a wide range of effects, which are influenced by product category; flower, tincture, capsule, concentrate, edible, etc. There are other features which are also important to keep in mind; route of administration (ROA), dosage, and duration.
Inhalation
When talking about cannabis the most popular ROA is smoking or vaporizing. This is often fast acting and strong in its intoxicating effects.

START LOW GO SLOW
For first time users, cannabis should be consumed slowly in low dosages. This is because everyone metabolizes cannabinoids differently and expected duration may vary. Consume cannabis responsibly and stop when you have had enough or achieved your desired effects
