How Much Should I Consume?

Thoughtful dosing transforms a cannabis session from unpredictable to deeply enjoyable. GreenDrop provides the information to guide that calibration, whatever your level of familiarity.

The Foundational Principle

Begin with less than you anticipate needing. Effects can always be extended with a second dose; they cannot be retracted once consumed. This measured approach is particularly important when trying an unfamiliar product or format.

Flower and Vaporizers

A single, moderate inhalation is a sensible starting point. Effects manifest within minutes, allowing for easy self-assessment before deciding to continue. A new strain — even for experienced consumers — warrants initial restraint until its character is understood.

Edibles

• New consumers: 2.5 to 5 mg THC
• Occasional experience: 5 to 15 mg THC
• Regular consumers: 15 to 30 mg THC

Edibles require particular patience — onset may take up to two hours. Resist the inclination to supplement before the first dose has fully expressed itself.

Concentrates

These formats demand the most conservative approach. A quantity roughly equivalent to a grain of rice is an appropriate introduction. The potency differential between concentrates and flower is significant and often surprising even to those with established tolerance.

Personal Factors

Metabolism, constitution, and even sleep and food intake influence your response. The same product may feel meaningfully different from one occasion to the next. Attentiveness to these variables is part of a considered cannabis practice.
