Medical Cannabis Dosage Guide for UK Patients

Finding the right dosage of medical cannabis is a personal process that requires patience and medical guidance. UK specialist doctors typically follow a start-low, go-slow approach, particularly for patients new to cannabis. For flower products, UK guidelines generally recommend starting with 0.1-0.2g per use and increasing gradually. Most chronic pain patients stabilise at 0.3-0.5g per session, 2-3 times daily. Vaporisation is the most common method of administration for flower products in UK clinics. For CBD oils, starting doses are typically 5-10mg twice daily, increasing by 5mg every 2-3 days until therapeutic benefit is achieved. Most patients find their optimal dose between 25-75mg daily. Your specialist doctor will advise on dosing based on your condition, tolerance and the specific product prescribed. Never adjust your dose significantly without consulting your prescriber. Regular follow-up appointments (usually every 1-3 months) allow dosing to be optimised over time.
