Clinical Dosing & Product Selection Guidelines
Navigating dispensary menus requires understanding the clinical relationship between active cannabinoids and individual metabolism:
- Start Low and Titrate Slowly: Begin with micro-doses (1mg to 2.5mg THC) to evaluate individual sensitivity and therapeutic response.
- Emphasize Minor Cannabinoids: CBD, CBN, and CBG modulate receptor binding and mitigate excessive intoxication.
- Examine Terpene Profiles: Terpenes like myrcene, linalool, and beta-caryophyllene determine sedative and anti-inflammatory activity.
- Medical Tax Exemption: Certified Massachusetts medical patients save 20% on every dispensary purchase under state law.
