Low Strength Dose (5-10 mgs)
This dose is ideal for newcomers who have none or little experience taking cannabinoids.
Also suitable for people who are sensitive to cannabinoids, and those who only need mild relaxation to rid the edge off stressful days. For best results and to gauge tolerance, start at five mgs, as even doses this small can provide anxiety relief and euphoric experiences.
Mid Strength Dose (10-20 mgs)
This dose a person with mild stress and aches can rely on, as it is often more than enough for relieving these issues. 10-20 mg doses of 8-OH-HHC isolate can also combat insomnia and make it easier to drift off; a big deal if you often struggle with long toss-and-turn nights.
High Strength Dose (20-40 mgs)
Taking this dose will require a resilient tolerance level. If you have one, and want to relieve more serious issues like severe anxiety and chronic pain or aches, this dose should get the job finished. Just be sure to space out doses, as too much in your system at once might be overwhelming. If this dosage does not bring relief, you may opt for the below dose instead.

General Dosing Tips for 8-OH-HHC Isolate

Go Low and Slow, we cannot stress enough the importance of this. If it is your first time, take 5mg, and wait at least a few hours before taking more. Only once you know you can handle this dose should you consider moving on to grander and much stronger amounts.
Cautiously Combine, it is not uncommon for people to mix 8-OH-HHC Isolate with other cannabinoids (it is common practice). But be mindful. Doing so can alter the effects and enhance the potency and euphoria to follow. If you try this, adjust your dose accordingly!
Consistency, taking it at various times of day can lead to unpredictable effects. One thing to do is take it at the same time daily as this can let you predict its effects more accurately.
Adjust as Needed, taking doses but not feeling any relief or effects? Then up the dose, subtly and incrementally, by five to ten milligrams until your desired effect is achieved. Contrarily, if you face any adverse effects, taper down the dose or stop using it entirely.
