Quick Answer: Microdosing cannabis with edibles means taking small, precise doses—usually 1–5 mg of THC—for subtle effects without feeling high.
It can ease stress, pain, and insomnia while improving focus and mood.
Edibles offer consistent, long-lasting relief, and at Hashtag Redmond, all Hashtag Certified products are vetted for safety, quality, and effectiveness.
When it comes to cannabis, sometimes less really is more. Microdosing—taking very small, controlled amounts of THC or CBD—has become a popular way to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without the overwhelming effects.
For Redmond locals looking to stay clear-headed, creative, or simply balanced, edibles make microdosing easy, consistent, and discreet.

What Is Microdosing?
Microdosing means consuming just enough cannabis to feel subtle effects without becoming intoxicated.
Typical microdoses range from 1 to 5 milligrams of THC, often paired with small amounts of CBD. The goal is to find the “sweet spot” where you feel calm, focused, or uplifted—but still fully functional.

Why Use Edibles for Microdosing?
Edibles are ideal for microdosing because they’re precisely dosed and long-lasting.
Unlike smoking or vaping, edibles provide consistent milligram measurements, so you know exactly how much THC you’re consuming.
Edibles’ slower onset—usually 45–90 minutes—also means effects unfold gradually and can last up to 6 hours, offering steady relief or balance throughout the day.

How to Start Microdosing with Edibles
Start low: Begin with 1–2.5 mg THC.
Wait patiently: Effects can take up to 90 minutes to appear.
Adjust slowly: Increase in small steps (1 mg at a time) until you find your ideal dose.
Track your experience: Note how each dose affects your mood, focus, and comfort level.
Many edibles—like low-dose gummies or mints—are designed for beginners, making them perfect for finding your balance.
