DoseKnow exactly
what you're taking.
Cannabinoid profiles matched to your specific condition.
In milligrams. Not vibes.
Problem 01
You don't know
what's in it.
The street market and most dispensaries share the same problem: strain names tell you nothing. A "Blue Dream" from one source contains 18% THC. Another shows 26%. Neither has a lab report. You're guessing.
| Attribute | Dose Dispensary | Unregulated Market |
|---|---|---|
| Cannabinoid Profile | ✓Full COA on every product — THC, CBD, CBG, CBN listed in mg/g | ✗Claimed strain name only. No verified data. |
| Third-Party Testing | ✓ISO 17025-accredited lab. QR code links to full results. | ✗No independent verification. Self-reported at best. |
| Pesticide Screening | ✓100+ pesticide panel. Fail = product pulled from shelf. | ✗Unknown. Residue levels untested. |
| Heavy Metals | ✓Lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic — all screened below FDA limits. | ✗No testing. Soil contamination risk present. |
| Microbial Safety | ✓Salmonella, E. coli, Aspergillus — screened per state mandate. | ✗No microbial testing. Storage conditions unknown. |
| Batch Traceability | ✓Seed-to-sale tracking number on every unit. | ✗No chain of custody. Origin untraceable. |
| Terpene Profile | ✓Full terpene panel — correlates to effect and onset character. | ✗Not measured. Flavor descriptions only. |
Every Dose product ships with a full Certificate of Analysis.
Scan the QR on any jar to see the original lab report — cannabinoid potency, terpene panel, pesticide screen, microbial, heavy metals. Your budtender can walk you through reading it.
Problem 02
You don't know
how much to take.
"Start low, go slow" is a slogan, not a protocol. Onset time varies by 10x depending on delivery method. A 10 mg edible and a 10 mg tincture produce completely different experiences. Without a comparison, you're making the same mistake twice.
| Intake Method | Onset | Peak | Duration | Bioavailability | Dose Control | Best For | Starting Dose |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended StartSublingual (Tincture) | 15 – 45 min | 1 – 2 hr | 4 – 6 hr | 20 – 30% | High | Chronic pain, sleep, anxiety | Start: 2.5 mg THC or 10 mg CBD. Titrate by 2.5 mg every 3 days. |
| Inhalation (Vaporizer) | 2 – 10 min | 15 – 30 min | 2 – 3 hr | 10 – 35% | Medium | Acute pain, nausea, breakthrough symptoms | Start: 1 – 2 puffs at 200°C. Wait 15 min before re-dosing. |
| Oral (Capsule/Edible) | 30 – 120 min | 2 – 4 hr | 6 – 10 hr | 4 – 20% | Low–Med | Sustained relief, sleep maintenance | Start: 2.5 mg THC or 5 mg CBD. High variability — eat consistently. |
| Topical (Transdermal) | 15 – 60 min | 45 – 90 min | 4 – 8 hr | Localized | High (local) | Localized joint/muscle pain, skin conditions | Apply pea-sized amount. Minimal systemic absorption. |
| Rectal (Suppository) | 10 – 30 min | 1 – 2 hr | 4 – 8 hr | 50 – 70% | Very High | GI conditions, severe pain, patients avoiding psychoactivity | Highest bioavailability. 5 – 10 mg CBD starting dose. |
All dosage guidance is general. Individual response varies based on tolerance, weight, metabolism, and condition. Book a consultation for a personalized protocol.
Pain + inflammation
CBD moderates THC psychoactivity. Preferred for daytime pain management.
Anxiety, first-time use
Minimal psychoactivity. High CBD concentrations without intoxication.
Sleep, acute pain
Full psychoactivity. Use at night only. Start at 2.5 mg and titrate carefully.

"I'd been managing fibromyalgia for six years with opioids that left me foggy. My Dose consultant built a tincture protocol — 5 mg CBD:1 mg THC sublingual, twice daily. Pain down 60% in three weeks. First time I've felt present in years."

"I'm a hospitalist. I was skeptical. But when the budtender cited the Russo 2011 entourage paper and handed me a COA, I actually read it. The lab numbers were what I'd expect from a compounding pharmacy. That changed my mind entirely."

"Every dispensary I'd been to before felt like a head shop. Dose feels like a consultation at my GP's office — except they actually spend time explaining the mechanism, not just upselling the most expensive SKU."
