You don't have to get high to get something out of cannabis. Microdosing is the practice of taking tiny amounts to stay functional while still feeling a subtle effect.

What counts as a microdose

Generally 1–2.5 mg THC for edibles, or one small pull from a low-THC vape or joint. The point is to feel a shift — not to be impaired.

Why people do it

Focus during creative work
Mild anxiety or stress relief
Better sleep without a heavy next-day fog
Social ease without full intoxication

How to start

Buy a 2.5 mg or 5 mg gummy (splittable). Take half. Wait 90 minutes. Adjust from there. Keep a two-line note on your phone: what you took, how you felt.
