Creators of these products are placing great emphasis on maintaining a high level of standards as it applies to health and wellness. Such standards include Vegan-friendly products, non-GMO, gluten-free and natural ingredients.

Ingredients play a major role in the consumption of cannabis products. In times where high THC levels in products has become well sought after, there is a growing community of cannabis advocates in favor of “less means more”. This tactic is called “microdosing”, a rising trend as cannabis consumption grows in popularity.

What is all the “buzz” about? Microdosing is the practice of taking small amounts of cannabis to reap the medical benefits of THC while avoiding it’s psychoactive effects that can impede with the demands of daily life.

Microdosing can be especially beneficial for the medical marijuana consumer desiring to treat a specific condition. Microdosing can be used to reduce anxiety, focus attention, or lift one’s spirits.

Let’s face it, not everyone wants to get high as a kite or to the point where we are not functional. Sometimes all we want or need is a buzz. These companies offer great products that give the consumer an opportunity to control their “highness” and doing so in a health conscious way.
