You might have heard the word micro-dosing being splashed around and immediately thought of silicon valley! Well, microdosing Delta-8 THC is kinda similar, except it’s much more legal.
If you feel like you wanna give it a whirl, stick around, and we’ll guide you through it all.
Microdosing, from the name, is taking a very small dose of a psychoactive substance. This whole idea started with LSD and psilocybin mushrooms. Because the full psychoactive effects of a normal dose were way above the threshold dose and too much for users to handle.
The microdosing culture made its way into the cannabis world, and microdosing Delta-8 is becoming the new thing, especially for those who want the benefits of D-8 without that crazy head high.
Microdosing Delta-8 is taking a small yet impactful dose of Delta-8 as a daily routine, usually between 2-5 mg for beginners, and increasing the dose over time.
Delta-8 is a psychoactive cannabinoid that does produce a high. Even though the Delta-8 high is more of a body high without the brain fog, some users feel that it could interfere with their cognitive function while performing daily tasks. (For some, a low potency D-8 gummy is a little bake, but microdosing makes it a little wake instead)
Users microdose Delta 8 to maintain focus and clear cognitive functions, as well as to improve their mental health and overall well-being while avoiding any potential adverse effects that could come with the standard dose.
You can read about how micro-dosing can help with D8 side effects here.

Delta-8 is a superstar cannabinoid found in the hemp plant that research suggests has many benefits to offer, such as pain relief, anxiety relief, better sleep, and relaxation.
The Microdosing approach aims to give you the benefits of Delta-8 THC without the euphoric sensations that come with it.
As for micro-dosing Delta-8, users report an increase in productivity, focus, energy levels, creativity, sleep, and overall mental health. Some even say their regular Delta-8 microdosing helps them when they have a challenging workout routine.
Another reason some users microdose is because some of them can get a severe case of “the munchies” or an increased food consumption with the standard dose. While in other cases, some users reported weight loss with microdosing, as Delta-8 can speed up your metabolism.
We need more research regarding the efficacy of a Delta-8 microdosing routine in comparison to a standard dose. But based on the research so far, there is a positive correlation between microdosing of psychedelics and improved mood and mental health.
One study shows that a routine of microdosing cannabis positively affects cognitive functions, such as memory and spatial and temporal disorientation.
Hey, body aches and discomforts became an old buddy to those of us who are older than Gen Z! To some of us, chronic pain isn’t just a word, and with Delta-8’s pain-relieving ability, it became the got to choice for many users.
Microdosing Delta-8 wouldn’t carry the same substantial benefits, but it could help with minor aches and increase your body’s ability to tolerate pain.

The way Delta-8 THC interacts with our bodies, a microdosing routine can increase the activity of the acetylcholine neurotransmitter in the brain, helping improve cognitive functions such as focus, memory, and creativity.
Many users incorporate Delta-8 THC micro-dosing for their workouts which is genius! It can increase their motivation, ease muscle tension and improve overall mood!
Delta-8 is all the rage about relaxation, body, and mind. A microdose of Delta-8 THC may not yield the same instantaneous relaxing effects. However, it can still carry the same ability with a milder effect continuously. This means that you’ll feel a more relaxed state of mind over time.
Products that have a specific amount of cannabinoids in them work best with the microdose approach. (You need to know precisely the Delta-8 dosage in your product so you can measure the small amounts you need to take, like gummies, for example).
The best products for microdosing are 10 mg Delta-8 Gummies.
When it comes to microdosing, there is no magic number. Cannabinoids are personal experience; several factors, such as your THC tolerance, age, weight, and experience with psychedelics, could affect it.
You’ll reap some big benefits by experimenting and listening to what your body is telling you.
That said, we can give you some guidelines to help you microdose Delta-8.
Delta-8 gummies are the best place to start micro-dosing! As gummies come in a pre-measured dose and D-8 contents are evenly distributed, our fruitilicious vegan gummies start as low as 10 mg per gummy, so you can have more control over the microdose quantity.
Another reason gummies are the best is that their effects last longer because gummies move into the bloodstream through the digestive system.
If you’re a beginner, start with a quarter of a gummy of our 10 mg gummies, that’ll make 2.5 mg per serving. Maintain this dosage for a week and see how your body reacts.
Experienced users can start at half a gummy of our 10 mg strength.
Experienced users with high THC tolerance can take a quarter of our 25 mg strength which is still sub-threshold for the full effects of Delta-8 THC.

Oils could work for microdosing; however, it’s still challenging! Most oil tinctures come in too high of concentrations to work for micro-dosing. But with our 500 mg Delta-8 oil, it could work for you.
One serving carries about 8.3 mg of Delta-8 THC and 8.3 mg of PCR oil, so you can take half a serving of the oil (a quarter of a dropper).
Oils provide a quick onset, you place a drop under your tongue, and it absorbs into the bloodstream through the mucous membrane. To try micro-dosing with our Delta-8 oil.
Many find a vape pen tricky and struggle to get it right with a standard dose, even with vape pens that deliver a pre-measured dose of a D8.
It’s almost impossible to measure a specific amount of Delta-8 in each puff. Experienced users can try to microdose by taking small puffs throughout the day.
If you’re starting a new microdosing routine, we recommend gummies instead of a vape pen because even with small puffs, it could still be too much for you.
Just wrapping up the important tips in one go.
