Chem Loops was a bit strong for me, and its effects hit very hard about five or so minutes after consuming the product. Depending on how tired I might be at the time of smoking, it made the difference in whether I felt sleepy or if I thought creatively- either way, by the end of it, I was always tired. Research suggests that it is either the offspring of either Chem 4 x Chem De La Chem or Fruitloops OG x Chem Delight; the original breeders of Chem Loops are Full Moon Genetics.

Ever wanted the benefits of weed without being glued to the couch? Microdosing may be your answer. Micro-dosing is trending very high these days for all of the benefits it provides without the insane high that you get when using cannabis. When you micro-dose cannabis, it can help tremendously by giving you certain wellness benefits, helping with your creativity as well as your productivity. In this post you will learn about how to properly, all of the benefits that come with micro-dosing, and you will also learn about the risks. If you enjoy cannabis, but want to break free from your lazy-loop, then stay glued to this post like you would your tv if you were stoned!
What is Cannabis Microdosing?
When you microdose weed, you are essentially using very small amounts of cannabis in order to achieve a more subtle effect that you can build on. The potency levels of cannabis are extremely high when it is in a concentrated form such as THC tincture or THC syrup- much higher than your typical bowl of weed. This is why it is very easy, if you know what you’re doing, to microdose weed correctly and reap all the good benefits from it. In the next few paragraphs, we will discuss the typical dosage ranges for THC and CBD so that you can be better informed when making your next purchase.
When it comes to THC microdosing, finding the right dosage is key to experiencing subtle benefits like improved focus, mild relaxation, or enhanced creativity without feeling high. Typical microdoses range from 1–5 mg of THC, depending on individual tolerance, metabolism, and the consumption method—whether you’re using edibles, tinctures, or vaping. Tracking your effects and gradually adjusting your dose can help you achieve consistent results and make microdosing part of your wellness routine. Here are the guidelines:
Typical THC Microdose Ranges:
Low microdose: 1–2 mg of THC
Standard microdose: 2–5 mg of THC
Upper microdose (still considered mild): 5–7 mg of THC
Tips:
1. Start low and go slow. If you’re new, begin at 1 mg and wait 1–2 hours to see effects (especially for edibles).
2. Adjust gradually. Increase by 1 mg increments only if needed.
3. Method matters. Inhalation delivers effects within minutes; edibles take 1–2 hours but last longer.
4. Track effects. Keep a journal of dosage, time, and effects to find your sweet spot.
⚠️ Caution: Microdosing aims to avoid intoxication, but reactions are highly personal. Even a “small” dose can feel strong in sensitive individuals.
When microdosing CBD, the goal is similar to THC microdosing: taking small amounts to gain subtle therapeutic benefits (like reduced anxiety, improved focus, or mild pain relief) without noticeable sedation or other strong effects.
Typical CBD Microdose Ranges:
Low microdose: 5–10 mg of CBD
Standard microdose: 10–20 mg of CBD
Upper microdose (still mild): 20–30 mg of CBD
Tips:
1. Start low and slow. Begin with the lowest dose and observe effects for 1–2 hours (especially with edibles or oils).
2. Increment gradually. Increase by 5–10 mg increments if needed.
3. Method matters. Sublingual oils/tinctures act faster than capsules, while edibles take longer but last longer.
4. Track your response. Effects can be subtle, so journaling dosage and experience helps fine-tune.
Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating, so there’s generally less risk of unwanted “high,” but dosing still matters to avoid drowsiness or digestive discomfort at higher amounts.
Benefits of Microdosing
1. Reduced Anxiety and Stress
Microdosing small amounts of THC or CBD can promote calmness without the paranoia or sedation that higher doses may cause. It allows you to manage stress in a subtle, manageable way.
2. Improved Focus and Creativity
Low doses of THC or CBD may enhance mental clarity, attention, and creative thinking. Many users report feeling “more present” and able to approach tasks with renewed perspective.
3. Mild Pain Relief
Microdosing can alleviate minor aches or chronic discomfort without impairing daily activities. CBD is particularly noted for anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.
4. Better Mood and Emotional Balance
Subtle doses can help stabilize mood swings and promote a sense of wellbeing. Unlike higher doses, microdosing avoids the intense euphoria or lethargy that can be distracting.
5. Enhanced Sleep Quality
Even at low doses, cannabis can improve sleep onset and restfulness, especially with strains higher in CBD. Microdosing allows users to benefit from sleep support without grogginess in the morning.
6. Reduced Side Effects
By taking very small amounts, users often avoid common negative effects of cannabis, such as anxiety, paranoia, or lethargy. This makes cannabis more manageable for daily use.
7. Habit and Tolerance Management
Microdosing helps maintain effectiveness without building rapid tolerance, reducing the need for higher doses over time. It allows consistent benefits without overconsumption.
Risks and What to Watch Out For
Even at low doses, THC can help take the edge off minor aches and everyday discomfort without making you feel “high” or out of it. I’ve found that microdosing allows your body to relax and eases tension, whether it’s from a long day on your feet or just general soreness. It’s a subtle kind of relief that keeps you functional and focused, instead of knocking you out. For anyone dealing with chronic pain or inflammation, microdosing THC can be a gentle way to manage it naturally.
Risks of Microdosing THC
1. Mild anxiety or paranoia: Even small amounts of THC can trigger anxious feelings in sensitive individuals.
2. Impaired judgment or coordination: Microdosing usually avoids this, but some people may still feel subtle cognitive or motor effects.
3. Digestive Issues (edibles): THC edibles can sometimes cause nausea or stomach discomfort, especially if microdosing with food.
4. Tolerance Buildup: Even low doses over time can lead to decreased effectiveness, requiring careful tracking.
5. Sleep Disruption: Some users may experience difficulty falling asleep if microdosing THC too late in the day.
What to Watch For: Start very low, track your reactions, and avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how your body reacts.
How to Microdose Cannabis
Microdosing THC can subtly lift your spirits and help you feel more emotionally balanced without the intense highs of larger doses. It’s not about getting “high,” but about smoothing out mood swings and promoting a sense of calm and wellbeing. For anyone who wants a gentle boost to their day, microdosing can be an easy way to feel more centered and positive.
Methods of Microdosing Cannabis
1. Sublingual Oils & Tinctures
CBD or THC oils and tinctures are taken under the tongue, where they absorb quickly into the bloodstream. This method gives fast, precise microdoses, making it perfect for beginners or anyone looking to control their dosage.
2. Edibles & Gummies
Microdosing with edibles lets you enjoy discreet, tasty servings of THC or CBD. Effects take a bit longer to kick in—usually 1–2 hours—but they last longer, making them great for all-day relief.
3. Vaping or Inhalation
Vaping small hits of THC or CBD delivers near-instant effects, ideal for microdosing throughout the day. It’s easy to adjust doses on the fly and get subtle benefits without overwhelming psychoactive effects.
4. Capsules & Softgels
Cannabis capsules provide pre-measured doses, perfect for consistency and on-the-go use. While slower to take effect, they’re convenient for those who want a no-fuss approach to microdosing.
Tips for Getting the Perfect Dose:
Getting your microdose right is key to enjoying the benefits without any unwanted effects. For oils and tinctures, use a dropper with measurements—1 mL is usually a full dropper, so you can figure out the mg per drop. Pre-dosed edibles and gummies make dosing simple, but for homemade treats, a digital scale is essential for accuracy. When vaping or smoking, take small, measured hits, and keep a journal to track your effects. Precision makes microdosing safe, consistent, and effective.
Who Should Try Microdosing?
Microdosing cannabis is ideal for wellness seekers who want calm, stress relief, and subtle health benefits without feeling “high.” Creative professionals can get a gentle boost in focus and inspiration, helping ideas flow naturally throughout the day. For light users or beginners, microdosing is a safe way to enjoy the benefits of THC or CBD while staying fully functional. It’s all about experiencing cannabis in small, manageable amounts that enhance your day instead of slowing you down. Overall, microdosing makes it easy to enjoy the positive effects of cannabis while keeping control and balance.
Beginners shouldn’t jump into microdosing cannabis without guidance because even small amounts of THC can affect people differently. Having someone experienced helps you understand how to measure doses safely and track effects. It’s easy to overestimate or underestimate your dose if you’re just starting out. Guidance also helps prevent unwanted side effects like anxiety or dizziness. Starting with support makes your first microdosing experience safer, more effective, and more enjoyable.

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?
There are many things that bring me a lot of joy in this life. The biggest thing would be my daughter; she is the sweetest, brightest, most innovative little girl I have ever met, and I see myself when I was a child in her. Watching her grow up has been one of the best things I’ve ever gotten to experience in life and I will always cherish every moment I have with my daughter.
A big tip for the parents, and you may already know this, but two things you can never get back are time and energy. That being said, use both your time and energy wisely and spend more time/energy with your kids before they grow up and start to form their own opinions about you. I know that’s basic knowledge, but in these days and age- it’s hard to get appropriate time with your family due to work, school, extracurriculars, and sometimes when your priorities needs surpass the ability to balance out your work and personal lives, you can still get the same effect that someone who doesn’t spend any time with their children out of selfish reason can.
Some more things that bring me immense joy would be helping out animals and underprivileged people. I also enjoy doing specialty photography sessions for people such as boudoir and watching their expressions go from nervousness and uncertainty to pure joy themselves. I’ll never forget watching my first ever client, also my best friend, start off being shy and nervous about doing a boudoir shoot and having to be exposed outdoors (we hiked to a mostly secluded location) and then as I start taking the photos and showing her some here and there, she blossoms into almost like a professional model with confidence and natural beauty just radiating from within.

Photo by Nataliya Vaitkevich on Pexels.com There are many ways you can consume cannabis; you can inhale it (or smoke it), ingest it (by eating edibles, drinking infused drinks, or taking infused capsules), place it under your tongue for oral absorption, and use topical applications such as lotions, balms/salves, or transdermal patches. The “best” method depends solely on you and your needs, as each method has its own effects, which differ greatly from the next, and their own duration. I personally prefer to inhale THC/THCA products through smoking the flower or concentrates (wax or dab pens), but on occasion I will splurge for edibles- mostly gummies, but I will try any kind of edible! In the next paragraphs, I will break down all the different consumption methods for THC products.
Inhalation: (smoking)
There are three different ways you can inhale, or smoke, THC products. You can do what everyone knows about when they think about marijuana- you can smoke the flower in a joint, a blunt, or through pipes and bongs/bubblers. The easiest way to consume THC! The next option you have for smoking the product would be through vaping; dab cartridges have become mainstream since the early to mid-2010s and the launch of products like the O-Pen. They started out strictly for medicinal use, then slowly became used for recreational purposes as well. Dab cartridges are simply a more liquified version of the wax concentrate, making it easier to smoke without the need for a torch lighter or a dab rig/nectar collector. Finally, the dabbing method would be dabbing the wax concentrate version of THC/THCA products. To do this, you simply grab your dab puck (the container that holds your concentrate), a torch lighter (trust me, you won’t look like a crackhead- it’s just way easier with a torch than a regular lighter because of how hot the dab rig needs to be to vaporize the wax), and your dab rig or nectar collector to smoke. If it’s a rig with a nail and a banger, then you’ll simply drop at least a pea sized dab into the rig after heating it up, and if you’ve got a necto, the way you can smoke with it can either be like the rig- by placing a bit of dab on a heat-resistant surface to smoke, or you can place the tip of the necto directly into the wax itself and smoke it that way. Now, through years of practice, I have learned that the different types of wax all require one way or the other to conserve your product and not melt it away all at once. For instance, “sugar” waxes are very grainy (go figure), so it helps to separate a bit of wax from the rest, so you don’t melt it all down right when you first get it- buddars are similar in consistency. Waxes like shatter or something more solid, you can dip the tip of your nectar collector in without worrying an awful lot about wasting your dab. Either way, if you get hot enough and lightly tap on whatever dab you have, it will go a long way.
Ingestion: (eating, drinking, taking capsules/pills)
These methods involve consuming cannabis orally; when done in this manner, the liver will convert the THC to a more potent form, leading to a delayed but longer-lasting effect. There are three ways you can orally consume cannabis, with the most obvious option being through edibles that you eat. Things like gummies, brownies, or other cake-like items, seasonings, and even regular everyday foods like ice cream and chicken wings can be turned into edibles. Essentially, anything food-wise that can be infused is what you would consider edibles; simple enough to remember, ha-ha. The next option is to drink cannabis infused drinks like tea (or in your more southern places-moonshine) or the infused soda from a dispensary. These options aren’t as strong as edibles, but if you are in a pinch and haven’t consumed cannabis in a while, these infused drink options are surely the way to go if you’re looking for a quick relax sesh. The last oral option would be capsules or pills; all these consist of a highly concentrated extract or THC powder that is then placed in a capsule or pressed into a pill form for human consumption. THC pills and capsules produce a strong and long-lasting effect just like edibles; however, they differ in consistency, onset time, and duration. The way your body metabolizes the THC when you ingest it orally (by converting it to a more potent form called 11-Hydroxy-THC in the liver) causes the strong and lasting high associated with both edibles and pills/capsules.
Oral Absorption: (tinctures and oral sprays)
These specific methods allow your body to absorb cannabis orally through your mucous membranes. There are only two different methods of oral absorption, and they are through tinctures, which are liquid extracts (often alcohol or MCT oil-based) that are held under the tongue; the next method would be through a cannabis oral spray that delivers cannabinoids directly into the mouth- kind of like a sore-throat spray when you are sick. Both THC tinctures and oral sprays vary widely in potency depending on the product’s concentration as well as the manner they are consumed. While both can be highly potent and are often stronger than smoking flower or vaping wax concentrate, tinctures are typically considered more potent per unit than oral sprays. Tincture bottles will typically list the total THC content/amount in milligrams; some tinctures can contain up to 1,000 mg of THC or more in a single bottle, making them very potent. Tincture bottles come with a dropper, allowing for a more precise dosage, ranging from a microdose all the way to a high dose of THC. Oral sprays, on the other hand, offer a range of around 2.5 mg to 10 mg per spray, making them the perfect product for microdosing THC.
Topical Application: (lotions, balms/salves, and transdermal patches)
These particular methods involve applying cannabis to the skin for localized effects, minus the psychoactive properties of inhaled or ingested cannabis. These products would be perfect for someone who doesn’t like to smoke/can’t handle smoking (due to psychoactive properties), or someone who has never tried cannabis but has been told they would benefit greatly from its use. These methods allow their users to maintain physical pain and still function as if they weren’t using anything other than their typical analgesic. While both lotions/balms/salves and transdermal patches provide pain relief without the “getting high” part of the deal, they both affect your body a bit differently. THC lotions and balms/salves will target whatever location you apply these products to, so if you apply them to just your back, then your back will get relief, but if you apply them to, say, your back and your shoulders, then both will receive the relief. With transdermal patches, however, you can apply them anywhere on your skin, just about, and get whole-body pain relief. The best uses for the lotions and balms/salves would be for muscle soreness and tension, joint pains from conditions like arthritis, and localized inflammatory diseases such as eczema or psoriasis. Patches work best for chronic, widespread conditions like fibromyalgia, sustained, consistent pain management for chronic conditions, and full-body relaxation and pain relief.
These are all the different ways you can currently consume cannabis. Now, that’s not to say that in the next five to ten years we won’t have an additional handful of new ways and methods, but for now, this is what we have! If you think about it, considering where we started off at when marijuana was first mainstream all the way until today, we have advanced quite a bit that now just about anyone can use cannabis related products- whether they like to smoke it, eat or drink it, put it under their tongue or apply it to their skin- there’s a method for everyone.

Why do you blog?
I have always loved writing; for a very long time, writing has served as an outlet for me in many different ways. As I grew older, and owned my own computer, I began exploring the world of blogging. My first ever blog was a sobriety journal where I talked about my journey staying clean from methamphetamines and reviewed different strains of marijuana on their qualities, how they helped everyday ailments, and so on. I continued to write with that blog until circumstances changed and I was no longer able to blog. I remember seeing my first payout ever, granted it was only .02¢, I was still overly excited.
Fast forward a few years, a trip to rehab, being officially clean for 3+ years, and now in a stable, loving relationship, I am at a place where I want to write again. I want to share my thoughts on things with the world (aka you guys hehe) and that’s where I am currently today. I want to stress that my posts are by no means any kind of medical advice, I’m not in any shape or form in any medical field. I’m just a person who medicates alternatively and looks forward to sharing her feelings and experiences with others so that they can make better choices for their own alternative medications.
Thanks for giving my blog a go! It really means a lot to me. If you’ve been here since the beginning, or you’re new and just reading through everything, I appreciate your dedication and enthusiasm for my blog. I hope you enjoy reading the material and use it for a better understanding of the things we cover here when making your own decisions.

This special little strain is a sativa-dominant strain that is a cross of the well-known “Durban Poison” and an unknown wedding strain. It tends to provide a very energizing, mood-lifting, and creative effect to your high. It is well-known for relieving anxiety as well as stress while also providing a relaxing body high. The main terpenes include terpinolene, myrcene, ocimene, and limonene.
This strain is great if you suffer specifically from social anxiety! It is a great way to surpass your fear of speaking (whether that is in crowded areas, or just simply to unknown people) and spark an in-depth conversation for just about anything. I found it helped a lot when my husband and I got lost in random conversations about our various games, or a movie, or something in the news. It really made the conversations go smoothly, whereas usually I would either talk so fast I verbally “trip” over my own words, or I could not even articulate a sentence due to being either overly anxious or overstimulated.
Another reason why this strain is amazing is that it is good at relieving body aches and pains for a while, especially shoulder or back pains. This is a good strain to smoke after a long day of working (whether that be at work, or at home), right as you’re taking a nice hot bath, soaking your tired muscles. I would recommend this one either when you’re first waking up to give your body an easy transition if you’re still sore from the previous day, or at night, relaxing from the current day’s activities.
One way I like using the energy I gain from smoking Durban Wedding is to hop on my gaming desktop and start playing one of my many games. My all-time favorite is The Sims 4; I know there is a lot of debate in The Sims community on whether it’s good or not, but it’s just gotten me through some difficult times in my life. Very occasionally, I will record some videos for my YouTube channel if my shoulder isn’t giving me too much pain, but sadly, I just can’t sit very long anymore before my shoulder, arm, and hand start going painfully numb. Thankfully, when I have Durban Wedding, I don’t have to worry about being in pain too long, as it is by far one of the best pain-relieving strains I have found in a while!

This specific hybrid strain is pretty skunky. It has strong citrus notes as well as a slight citrus-like taste when smoked. The buds are very dense and sticky. The average percentage of this strain is around 26% THCA. The brand that supplied this strain is called Sinse.
While it is advertised to be more of a sativa hybrid, it can have a tendency to make you very tired after the initial high wears off. Right when you first smoke it, it leaves you feeling euphoric and creative while also having the slight possibility of slurring your words. If you aren’t a heavy smoker then half a bowl can keep you feeling relaxed for a few hours.
This strain is good if you struggle with anxiety or insomnia. Just be mindful about how much you smoke as you can give yourself anxiety if you smoke too much. You do somewhat get “the munchies”, but it doesn’t really affect your appetite. While it does have a decent THCA percentage, unfortunately it doesn’t take long to build your tolerance up and for the bud to have less of an effect on you.

Thanks for checking out my blog. It means a lot to me. This is just a personal guide to which strains work for what things (e.g. anxiety, insomnia, depression, appetite, etc). I aim to inform anyone who reads this blog on how to properly medicate theirselves without going overboard. I will also strive to include the occasional recipe or fun tid-bit, whatever that might be. I want this to remain a fun and enjoyable environment for all who come here. Please do not take my posts completely seriously, they are merely just my own opinion on the certain strains that I review. Take it a step further and actually try these different buds out yourself and see what you think.
