- Weed and health

   

Recreational cannabis usage has many definitions depending upon individual perceptions, comfort zones and acceptable uses. For those in the cannabis culture and working towards creating a responsible and safe environment for consumers, we have created guidelines to assist you in understanding recreational use clearly and confidently.

 

## What does recreational use mean?

 

For most individuals, recreational cannabis use refers to moderate, occasional consumption of cannabis for social enjoyment and/or relaxation purposes. Typically, recreational users do not require cannabis to function daily. For many recreational users, their use includes:

 

- Cannabis is smoked or consumed periodically rather than excessively on a daily basis
- Cannabis is consumed so as to avoid interfering with work, relationships and other responsibilities

 

## Dosage Standards – Establishing Moderate Cannabis Use

 

Cannabis tolerance is extremely variable among individuals and has a wide range of influences. However, general standards for establishing moderate cannabis use exist to provide clarity regarding the amount of cannabis that is considered “recreational.”

 

General standards of cannabis consumption for recreational use include:

  

| **Frequency of Cannabis Use** | **Recommended Amount of Cannabis** | **Considered Recreational if…** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Infrequent (1–2 times / week) | 0.25–0.50 g per session | Cannabis is for social reasons and/or to relax |
| Frequent (3–4 times / week) | 0.30–0.75 g per session | Cannabis use does not impede daily activities |
| Often (5–7 times / week) | Upto 1g per session | Amounts of cannabis consumed are consistent and controlled. |

  

## Be Aware of How Cannabis Is Consumed

 

In addition to how much cannabis is being consumed, the method by which cannabis is being consumed also impacts whether cannabis use is viewed as recreational. Using marijuana frequently via smoking large joints is likely to create the impression of a user exceeding recreational cannabis use, whereas micro-dosing or vaping a small amount of cannabis with friends at social events will likely give the impression of casual use.

 

- **Smoking Joints/Pre-Rolls:** Social consumption, be cautious of portion sizes.
- **Vaping:** More discreet and regulated.
- **[Edibles:](/product-category/edibles/)** Viewed as recreational when used sparingly at predictable dosages (e.g., 5–10 mg THC).
- **Tinctures:** Commonly used for micro-dosing, and viewed as mindful recreational cannabis use.

 

## Keep an Eye on Context and Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle Balance

 

Cannabis use is recreational when:

 

- Use of cannabis is compatible with a balanced lifestyle (socialization, work, physical activity).
- Cannabis is not relied upon solely or primarily for managing stress.
- You can abstain from cannabis if necessary with minimal discomfort.

 

If cannabis use enhances your life, yet does not dominate it, then it will likely be perceived as recreational.

 

## A Self-Assessment

 

Ask yourself the following simple questions:

 

- Do I understand my average dosage and am I capable of sticking to it?
- Am I able to use cannabis without requiring it daily?
- Is cannabis use enhancing my lifestyle, or does it complicate my lifestyle?

 

If you respond positively to these, your cannabis use is likely to be classified as recreational.
