Health-Geared Dosing
+ Strain Pairing

Using premium functional ingredients with the right strains and mindful dosing for wellness.

Microdosing
2.5–5mg THC
Daily wellness, mood, focus, mild pain
Therapeutic
5–15mg THC
Pain, inflammation, sleep support
Higher Support
15–30mg THC
Stronger pain or sleep needs (use cautiously)

Health-First Best Practices

  • Start low, go slow — Especially when combining with potent functional ingredients.
  • Decarb properly — Full activation at 240–250°F for 30–40 minutes preserves more beneficial compounds.
  • Use quality fat — Coconut oil, MCT, or grass-fed butter improves cannabinoid absorption.
  • Pair intentionally — Choose ingredients that support the same goal as the strain’s dominant terpenes.
  • Track your response — Keep notes on strain, dose, ingredients, and how you feel.
