THCP Dosage: Guide

Now you have a bit of insight into how incredibly potent this phytocannabinoid is. To find that perfect dosage for yourself, there are a couple of factors you'll need to be extra mindful of.

It's imperative that before consuming a THCP product, you have a sense of how strong it'll likely be based on a combination of factors. THCP product's delivery method and strain type are major players in creating potency as well as the product's overall strength in milligrams (which many shorten to mg). 

The delivery method describes the various ways THCP can be consumed, ranging from ingestion, vaping, to sublingual use. Here's the skinny: inhaling or smoking THCP is very powerful because its bioavailable at a higher rate. Ingestibles and sublingual absorption via tinctures often take longer but also may have a less pronounced impact compared to inhaling or smoking THCP.

The strain refers to various hemp plant profiles with distinct chemical structures as well as cannabinoid and terpene makeups. You might have heard people talk about marijuana "hybrid", "sativa", or "indica" strains which create distinct impacts on users because of the synergistic interaction among different compounds in each hemp plant.

There are hundreds of terpenes in each hemp plant but a select few have a huge impact on the user’s experience. In my time working in the cannabis and CBD markets, it’s been clear to me that THCP has similar features when you combine THCP with those terpenes.

For example, terpenes like “myrcene” make indica effects like feeling physically “stoned” stronger for a lot of folks while another terpene like “limonene” can emphasize sativa strains. There are quite a few terpene guides available to cannabis users. These synergistic properties make it critical that users know exactly what a THCP strain’s impact might be before indulging with too much. 

It can be hard to pinpoint a proper THCP dosage for a beginner, as there’s a great deal of individuality in terms of how everyone reacts to cannabis compounds. However, there are some pretty good suggestions based on clinical experience with people who have used this compound for a period of time. The recommended thcp dosage range tends to hover around these figures.

Beginners typically start around 1 mg. This number is great to keep in mind, especially for those totally new to THC products or hemp. You will most certainly start at less than with other intoxicating compounds like Delta 8.

THCP, a cannabis compound found in nature, can be extracted and used for different products. Now let’s see how dosing guidelines can vary.

Because of THCP’s extreme potency and its faster acting properties via vaping, users often are more at risk for taking too much when starting out. Keep in mind you can always go for another puff. But you cannot take away the potency from that initial dosage.

Remember, tinctures are digested by placing drops beneath the tongue, sublingually, or are combined into various foods or beverages. I find that mixing tinctures into edibles can be challenging as its hard to pinpoint how the compounds will transform within that unique edible.

Always stick to those manufacturers’ dosing guidelines or directions when indulging in a THCP product for the first time, whether that's a vape pod or THCP infused edibles. Only consider upping your THCP dosage after first becoming extra comfortable with how an initial dose will affect you over the span of a few sessions.

Also, if it is your first time ever exploring a hemp-based cannabinoid, a smarter path

may be to explore alternative, milder THCP products like Delta 8. These will help your body build a stronger tolerance to intoxicating compounds that you can then carry into a product containing THCP compounds.

Unfortunately, this is bad news for THCP users subject to employment or criminal justice related drug screenings. Consuming THCP products such as flower with high amounts will inevitably flag a test. My suggestion? If your life could be turned upside down from a positive test result, stay away from THCP as well as marijuana because the risks simply don’t outweigh those intoxicating rewards or those possible medicinal benefits.

Determining the exact point THCP compounds enter your bloodstream can vary, as does every aspect of the thcp dosage process. Some report a slight tingle within minutes when using a THCP cartridge and THC vape device but the stronger, heavier hits can often take longer than other cannabis-related compounds, taking as much as 15 minutes when vaping, and even an hour for products like edibles.

My recommendation for frequent THCP tincture, cartridge, wax dabs, and gummy consumers is that, if those psychoactive effects aren't yet felt after 30 minutes to an hour, only then you should take into consideration going for another microdose. THCP’s ability to attach strongly to CB1 receptors has more to it. This potency tends to also magnify the side effects associated with THCP use making many of them far more intense. 

The THCP craze isn’t likely to stop anytime soon with products more readily available. To ensure a completely positive experience though you should start with a cautious dosing plan by following this simple process: stick with the lowest doses when first trying THCP or a brand's products. From there assess those compounds’ impact over time.
