Reply to comment by charmorris4236 in At CBD:THC ratios most common in medicinal and recreational cannabis products, no evidence found that adding CBD protects against the impairment or subjective effects of THC/cannabis - a randomised double-blind trial with 46 people. by drdrugsandbrains

10mg is a seriously light dose for smoking / vaping. It's like, 1/20th of a gram of 20% THC bud, which is on the lower end of potency these days. For reference I'm not a super heavy smoker but I do have a bit of a tolerance, and I use a Dynavap with about 1/8th of a gram per session, 4 - 6 times per day. Depending on the strain that's anywhere from 25 to 40 mg per session.

Isn't 10mg what's usually in gummy edibles? When I first started taking edibles recreationally I had to split them into 8ths, and even then it was almost too strong of a high for me.

My understanding is that potency from edibles doesn’t track super well to inhaled products. That said, response is subjective for each.

Regardless, I personally agree with the original comment - these doses may be too low to illicit strong enough responses to either THC or CBD.

You’re correct and the poster above stating 10mg is no big deal is incorrect. The actual percentages of bioavailability varies with a bunch of factors, but is highest via inhalation (31%-50%) followed by sublingual. Ingesting is pretty inefficient (10%-19%).
