Microdosing For Focus
Before jumping right in on buying all of the cannabis strains that optimize your focus and energy, it’s best to micro dose with cannabis first to find the right strain for you and then play with the dosing to find the perfect boost so that you don’t accidentally ending up too high to get to work. After that, you’ll be able to feel the full effect of microdosing, which is subtle in nature and allows you to fully express yourself in serenity, giving you a
, and a sense of creative energy.Microdosing can also help you to be more productive in life and make your cannabis and CBD products last a lot longer. Although no specific studies have been developed to understand the effects of cannabis on focus and energy,

Keeping a close eye on the THC:CBD ratio will ultimately help you predict the outcome and tailor your cannabis experience to help take your energy levels to new heights.
Although some of the more popular cannabis strains that have been known to have energy-boosting effects feature higher THC:CBD ratios (greater than 2:1), this may cause anxiety and paranoia for non-seasoned smokers. This is why it’s always best to start small on new dosages before going all-in on a specific blend.

Users have seen tremendous boosts in their spatial awareness in these scenarios that could possibly be the source of their improved performance. However, you choose to dose, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water while staying away from caffeinated beverages to deter dry mouth from ruining your experience.
