Step 4: Adjust your dose

If you feel nothing after 2 hours, increase the dose by 0.5 mg. Do not increase by more than 0.5 mg at a time. If you feel high, reduce the dose next time.

Step 5: Consider CBD

Some THC oils contain CBD. CBD can reduce the psychoactive effects of THC. A 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD is common. A 1:1 ratio may cause less impairment.

Do not mix THC oil with alcohol. Alcohol increases impairment. Alcohol also increases the risk of adverse effects.

Step 7: Talk to a doctor

Talk to a doctor before using THC oil. This is important if you take other medications. THC can interact with blood thinners, antidepressants, and other drugs.

Legal note

THC is illegal under federal law in the United States. Some states allow medical or recreational use. Check your state laws.
