I would not base it on body weight. Nobody really knows yet.GG, what do you recommend for dosage for someone ingesting RSO that has never had it before and is taking it for medicinal reasons (cancer)? Is it based on body weight?
Also, what dosage should they try to work up to? This is a very petite female (I'm guessing no more than 100lbs).
Thanks
The actual amount you want to get to per day is one gram. That is so vague. The potency differences between oils can be very big. It is really difficult to say what the right dosage is. With a quality made oil, where quality indoor grown buds were used, a gram per day is a good goal.
I recommend starting off small, and sticking with three equal size doses per day. If it is somewhat of an emergency and the goal is to build up a tolerance ASAP, there are natural things that can aid in somewhat retarding the intense effects of the cannabis. I am sorry, but I cannot remember what the herbs or components are. I do know that Xanax and Valium help. These may need to be taken a few times per day. I recommend for treating serious cancer, playing it safe and get up to one gram per day. If you believe that the oil is of a weak potency, maybe shoot for two grams per day. If the oil is elite, top notch stuff, 1/2 gram per day may be plenty.
So, start off with small doses to get accustomed to the effects. A rule of thumb is a dose the size of a grain of rice to start and build up from there. You have to take three doses per day, in my opinion, to be able to build up a tolerance. The recommended duration is 5 months minimum. For some cases, it is shorter, and others longer.
I just heard a miracle story yesterday, and I believe it. An elderly gentleman was on his death bead with stage 4 lung cancer. His sons and others supplied him with RSO and after 4 months of treatment with the oil, he is now cancer free.
For me, 6 months has been the time frame with my personal experiences.
Hope this helps.
