WHEN YOUR RECOMMENDED DOSE SHOWS A RANGE… FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING THE HIGHER OR LOWER…

If your dosage color shows you a range, as in ¼ to ½, there are factors you should consider when deciding which dosage to take, higher or lower.

If taking after exercise – LOWER.

When a rage of two doses is indicated, there are several reasons to take the lower dosage if you’ll be taking gummies after you’ve exercised including:

1. Increased Blood Flow: Exercise increases blood circulation throughout the body, including to the brain. This enhanced blood flow can potentially facilitate the delivery of THC to the brain, leading to a more pronounced psychoactive effect.
2. Endocannabinoid System Activation: Exercise naturally activates the endocannabinoid system, which includes receptors CB1 and CB2 that also interact with cannabinoids like THC. The interaction between exercise-induced endocannabinoid system activation and THC can lead to an intensified experience.
3. Metabolism and Fat Storage: THC is fat-soluble, and it can be stored in fat cells in the body. During exercise, the body can metabolize stored THC, potentially leading to a resurgence of its effects.
4. Psychological Factors: The psychological and mental state during and after exercise can also influence how THC is experienced. Exercise is known to release endorphins and boost mood, which can interact with the mood-altering effects of THC.

If taking on an empty stomach – LOWER. Full Stomach: Higher.

If you’re taking our gummies on an empty stomach, as opposed to after you’ve eaten, you should probably consider taking the lower dosage. This is because consuming Delta-8 or Delta-9 THC on an empty stomach can potentially lead to faster and more intense effects. Here’s why:

Faster Absorption: When you consume cannabis on an empty stomach, the same dose that you might tolerate well with food in your stomach could feel more potent without food, because there is less food in your digestive system to slow down the absorption of the cannabinoids (like THC). As a result, they may be absorbed into your bloodstream more quickly, leading to a more rapid onset of effects.

If taking at home: HIGHER. In a public setting – LOWER.

While being away from home may not inherently require taking a lower THC dose, there are certain considerations to keep in mind when consuming cannabis in different settings:

1. Familiarity and Comfort: Some people may feel more comfortable and relaxed when consuming cannabis in the comfort of their own home, where they have control over the environment. In contrast, consuming in an unfamiliar or public setting might lead to increased anxiety or paranoia. If you’re in a new or less familiar environment, it may be a good idea to start with a lower dose to gauge your reaction.
2. Responsibility and Safety: Being away from home may involve responsibilities that require alertness and coordination, such as driving or operating machinery. In such situations, it’s crucial to avoid impairment, so you should either abstain, or only take a dose that doesn’t impair your ability to function safely.
3. Social Considerations: If you’re consuming cannabis in a social setting away from home, it’s essential to be mindful of social dynamics and your own comfort level. Overconsumption of THC can sometimes lead to social discomfort, so a lower dose may help you enjoy the experience without feeling overwhelmed.
4. Product Potency: The potency of cannabis products can vary significantly, and edibles can have delayed and longer-lasting effects. Always pay attention to the product’s THC content and dosing recommendations provided by Deltrium’s dosing algorithm.
5. Experience Level: Your experience with cannabis plays a significant role in how you respond to it. If you are an experienced cannabis user, you may have a better understanding of your tolerance and how different doses affect you. Less experienced users should be especially cautious.
6. Legal and Safety Considerations: Be aware of the legal and safety regulations regarding cannabis use in your location. Some places have strict laws against public consumption, driving under the influence, or other cannabis-related activities. Comply with local laws and regulations at all times.

If your body mass is larger… HIGHER. If smaller – LOWER.

Body mass can have an impact on how cannabis is metabolized because of the distribution and storage of cannabinoids (such as THC) in the body’s fat tissues. Here’s how body mass can affect cannabis dosing:

1. Distribution and Storage: THC and other cannabinoids are fat-soluble compounds, meaning they can be stored in fat tissues throughout the body. People with higher body mass may have more fat tissue available for THC to accumulate in.
2. Metabolism: The metabolism of cannabinoids can be influenced by metabolism rate.
3. Initial Sensitivity: People with lower body mass and less body fat may be more sensitive to THC, as there is less fat tissue for THC to be distributed and stored in. This can make them more susceptible to the psychoactive effects of THC, and they may require lower doses to achieve their desired effects.

If the time of day is morning – LOWER. If evening – HIGHER.

The time of day can impact how cannabis affects you due to factors such as circadian rhythms, tolerance, and individual sensitivity. Here are some ways in which time of day can influence the effects of cannabis:

1. Circadian Rhythms: The body has natural circadian rhythms that regulate various physiological processes, including sleep and wakefulness. These rhythms affect how you respond to cannabis. For example, when our gummies are consumed in the evening, they may enhance relaxation and promote sleep, while during the daytime they may have different effects, such as increased alertness.
2. Tolerance: Tolerance can vary throughout the day, so the same dose may have a different impact in the morning compared to the evening.
3. Sensitivity: Some may find that they are more sensitive to the effects when well-rested, which could be more typical in the morning. Others may be more sensitive in the evening when they are winding down.

CONCLUSION

Most importantly, when it comes to taking Deltrium gummies, you don’t have to worry about taking too much, or too little. Our dosing algorithm WORKS. You can trust it. But, we also understand that everyone is different, so we hope this helps you understand the different factors involved in dosing THC products.
