Introduction to Cannabis Concentrates

Cannabis concentrates are a highly potent form of cannabis, known for their concentrated cannabinoids and terpenes. Understanding the correct dosage is crucial for a safe and effective experience.

Understanding Potency

Concentrates can range from 50% to 90% or more THC, significantly higher than the typical 15-25% found in flower. This high potency means a much smaller amount is needed to achieve the desired effects.

Factors Affecting Dosage

  • Experience: A beginner should start with a lower dose than someone who is experienced with cannabis.

  • Body Weight: A heavier person might require a higher dose.

  • Metabolism: This can affect how quickly the body processes the cannabis and how intense the effects are.

Measuring Dosage

Most concentrates come with a pre-measured dose, such as a 10mg serving. If not, start with a small dose, like 10mg, and gradually increase until you find the right amount.

Effects and Monitoring

Pay close attention to the onset and duration of the effects. If you feel overly intense effects, consider waiting 30 minutes before consuming more.
