Therapeutic window

When consuming cannabis, the therapeutic window is the range between the lowest effective dose and a dose that produces negative side effects for the consumer. Newer consumers usually have a narrow therapeutic window, while regular consumers have a wider one because they have a higher tolerance.

“As a new consumer, I only smoke a little bit of weed because I have a smaller therapeutic window.”
