Can You Consume Cannabis/THC Without Feeling High?  The answer might surprise you.

There are several methods to consume marijuana without experiencing a significant psychoactive high typically associated with THC. Some of these methods focus on alternative consumption forms or using specific products that contain minimal THC or higher levels of CBD, which is non-intoxicating. One of our patients’ preferred methods is to use THC suppositories which can minimize the psychoactive effects while providing the therapeutic benefits of THC. Here are some more ways:

CBD doesn’t produce a high and can be transported legally. Using CBD-dominant products, such as CBD oil, edibles, or topicals, allows you to experience some of the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects.  

Opt for products with a higher CBD-to-THC ratio. This helps mitigate the psychoactive effects while still providing potential medicinal benefits. Cannabis products with a 1:1 ratio or higher in CBD are recommended because CBD blocks THC euphoria. Look for them at your local Miami medical marijuana dispensary.  

Ask a budtender to help you find strains of cannabis that contain low levels of THC. These strains are specifically bred to minimize psychoactive effects while providing potential benefits associated with other cannabinoids.

THC suppositories bypass the liver and offer a more targeted delivery method without the intense psychoactive effects associated with other forms of consumption.  We recommend suppositories to our patients needing to medicate with high doses of THC when they do not want to experience euphoria from it.

You can try taking small amounts of THC-infused products to help minimize the high while still experiencing the therapeutic effects of medical marijuana. Cannabis-infused skin care creams provide localized relief without making you feel high. They are effective for muscle soreness, inflammation, and skin conditions.

Remember, individual responses to cannabis can vary. It’s important to start with a low dose and gradually increase to find what works best for you. Additionally, you will want to bring this up with your medical marijuana card consultation appointment so that Dr. Fernando Fandiño-Sende or the LifeCannMD team can guide you to the right form of THC or CBD based on your individual needs. Remember that a knowledgeable budtender at a dispensary can also provide tailored advice based on your specific needs and preferences.
