1 Microdosing
Sometimes less is more. When it comes to weed, this mantra holds true.
Microdosing is simply consuming micro doses of marijuana. It’s more sustainable as you only experience more subtle psychoactive effects from the small doses.
For those in creative fields, microdosing is a great way of unlocking the mind and freeing creative ideas without being overwhelmed with a heavy high. Since your not actually getting stoned, it means your able to go about your daily business without the effects of marijuana creating dysfunction in your societal roles.

There are a number of ways the cannabis can be microdosed, which you can buy from marijuana dispensary Canada.
Vaping
Vaping is an excellent microdosing method, it allows for precise dosing and is a convenient method. Baking also avoids the dangerous carcinogens associated with smoking.
Combustion
Good ol’ fashioned ‘smoking the reefer’ using pipes and joints, is an easy and for many, convenient, way to microdosing marijuana. The only down side with this method, is it can be quite easy to go over the desired dose.
Ingest It
Eating cannabis edibles is another microdising option worth considering.
When microdosing with edibles, you really need to be extra cautious with dosing, as the effects of edibles last much longer than the effects experienced from smoking marijuana.

5. Eating Cannabis
When marijuana is heated, the compounds CBDA (cannabidiolic acid) and THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) are transformed into CBD and the psychoactive compound THC.
If cannabis is not heated, THCA remains as it is and is not converted into THC. This means consuming raw weed will not get you high, making it an excellent option for getting the benefits of the compounds found in marijuana without getting high.
