Medical Cannabis Dosage Chart Printable: Build One That Works

What a Printable Medical Cannabis Dosage Chart Does

A medical cannabis dosage chart is a paper log that records how many milligrams of THC and CBD you take, how you take them, when they take effect, and how your symptoms respond. It does not tell you a dose. It gives you a record of your own titration, so you and a clinician can see what changed and when. Printed sheets stay visible on a counter or nightstand, which makes a missed entry less likely than with a phone app.

THC Dosage Chart for Medical Patients: Start Low, Go Slow

Before You Print

Gather four things first:

more on this topic

• The label from every product you use, with mg THC and mg CBD per unit.
• One symptom to track, such as pain level, nausea, or sleep quality.
• A scale for that symptom from 0 to 10, where 0 means no relief and 10 means the worst you have felt.
• A clinician contact who knows you use cannabis.

Fields the Chart Needs

• Date and clock time of the dose.
• Product name and lot number.
• mg THC and mg CBD per dose, not per package.
• THC to CBD ratio.
• Delivery method: oil, tincture, capsule, edible, flower, or vape.
• Minutes until onset and hours of effect.
• Symptom score before the dose and two hours after.
• Side effect checklist: dry mouth, drowsiness, racing heart, anxiety, nausea.
• Notes on sleep, appetite, and mood.

How to Build the Sheet

1. Open a spreadsheet and set one row per dose.
2. Label the first column Date.
3. Add a Time column in 24-hour format.
4. Add Product and Lot columns.
5. Add mg THC and mg CBD columns with a numeric format.
6. Add a Ratio column and enter values such as 1:1 or 20:1.
7. Add a Method column with a dropdown of your delivery options.
8. Add Onset and Duration columns measured in minutes and hours.
9. Add Symptom Before and Symptom After columns scored 0 to 10.
10. Add a Side Effects column with a short checklist and a Notes column.
11. Set the print area to one week per page and print at 100 percent scale.

How to Titrate Using the Chart

1. Start with 1 to 2.5 mg of THC for an oral product.
2. Hold that dose for three days without changes.
3. Score your symptom at the same hour each day.
4. Raise the dose by the same small step only if the score does not move.
5. Stop raising the dose when relief appears or side effects start.
6. Keep the effective dose steady for one week and log the results.
7. Bring the completed sheets to your next clinician visit.

Inhaled flower does not convert to milligrams the way an edible or oil does. If you smoke or vape, log the number of puffs and the weight of flower used, then note the effect. Keep those rows separate from your oral rows so the milligram totals stay accurate.

What Is the Right Dose of Medical Cannabis? A Start-Low Dosing Guide

Reading the Entries

Look for patterns across a week, not a single day. A dose that helps on Monday and does nothing on Thursday may reflect sleep, food, or a different lot number. Edibles can take 30 to 120 minutes to peak, so a second dose taken too early stacks on the first and raises the chance of an unpleasant reaction. Mark any row where you redosed before the two-hour check.

Safety Lines to Print on the Sheet

• Do not drive or operate machinery after a dose.
• Do not combine cannabis with alcohol or sedatives.
• Store products in labeled, child-resistant containers.
• Call a clinician for chest pain, fainting, or a severe panic response.

THC dose ranges vary by person, product, and route, and no chart replaces advice from a clinician who knows your history.
