Episode 9: Microdosing - You Don't Have to Feel High to Notice a Difference

Episode 9 | Microdosing You don't have to feel high to feel the difference. In this episode: Crystal gets into one of her favorite topics: microdosing. It's how she restarted her relationship with cannabis as an adult, somewhere in the middle of kids, work, and the kind of schedule that doesn't leave a lot of room for anything that slows you down. Microdosing was the answer to that, and this episode is her walking you through how it actually works. This one is practical and personal. Crystal talks about what a microdose really means (hint: it's different for everyone), why you might not feel much at first and why that's actually the point, and the specific things worth paying attention to as you figure out what works for your body. She also shares the moment she realized microdosing was working, because it was when she stopped. If you've been cannabis-curious but not sure how to start, or you want to build a more consistent practice without it taking over your day, this is the episode to send yourself. What we get into: What microdosing actually is and why "micro" means something different for every body Why the goal isn't to feel high, it's to feel more regulated, more present, more yourself How to find your starting dose and how to know when to adjust The edible delay trap and why you really don't want to fall into it Different consumption methods for microdosing (edibles, flower, vaporizers) and when each one makes sense The moment Crystal knew microdosing was working, and why it showed up when she stopped Timestamps: [00:00] Intro [01:00] How microdosing started Crystal's adult relationship with cannabis [02:30] Who this episode is for [03:30] What microdosing actually means [04:00] Starting doses, dispensary options, and why to cut that gummy into quarters [05:30] What you're actually looking for when you microdose [06:00] The moment Crystal felt it most: when she stopped [07:30] Finding your dose through experimentation and tuning in [08:30] Being careful with new cultivars and new products [09:30] Cultivar differences and why 5mg isn't always 5mg [10:00] Microdosing with flower and vaporizers [11:00] Why edibles were Crystal's go-to [11:30] The edible delay: what to know before you take more [13:00] Outro + Green Wisdom 44 Connect with Crystal & Gaia's Gift: Website: www.gaiasgift.love  Instagram: @crystalclearwithintention LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/crystal-coker-gaiasgift/  Green Wisdom 44: https://gaiasgift.love/greenwisdom44  Enjoyed this episode?
