Q

What would you say to someone who asks for a dosage recommendation?

A

Since everyone’s body is unique and may use cannabis differently, there isn’t a set dose that works for everyone.

It usually some experimentation to see what works best for you.

Two things are crucial with dosing.

First, carefully read the product label so you know things like how much THC is in each serving and the serving size because it varies widely from brand to brand and product to product.

And, second start low and go slow. This refers to starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it.

All that being said, I recommend checking out the Leafwell website. One way to quickly find information on dosing it to go to the top navigation menu and use the search function. If you type in the word dosing, it will give you blog posts that outline dosing information and tips on the different ways to use cannabis.

If you find that you still have questions, please reach out.

39
Q

What would you tell someone who wanted a recommendation for a cannabis product?

A

One method isn’t better than another. It really boils down to personal preference, how easy and convenient it is, and what you’re using it for.
For example, if you’d prefer to avoid smoking or vaping, tinctures or edibles may be a good option.
Or, if you’re using cannabis to help with a skin condition, a topical might do the trick.

The good news is that on the Leafwell website, you can find a lot of information on strains along with some of the top strains used for different things such as sleep or pain.

In particular, I suggest going to the top navigation menu to Learn with Leafwell. From there, go to the section called Cannabis Plants. Another great option is to use the search function.

Q

What would you tell someone who wanted a recommendation for a strain to help with pain?

A

In the past, recommendations were based mainly on whether the strain is indica, sativa, or hybrid but these days there aren’t many pure strains.
A more reliable way to determine what type of potential experience and therapeutic benefits a strain offers is by looking at the cannabinoids and terpenes.
These are natural compounds in cannabis that are primarily responsible for the experience and the therapeutic effects.
A great way to find information on cannabinoids and terpenes is to check out the Leafwell website. One section that may be especially helpful is under Learn with Leafwell, the section called Cannabis Plants. To quickly find information on top strains used for pain, is to use the search function and search for pain.
