Goal: To continue to feel the slightest effect from cannabis.

Your body is continuing to build more cannabinoid receptors. You are becoming sensitive to these small doses of cannabis. You are feeling more confident in your control of cannabis use and you are gaining an understanding of how cannabis
affects you.

• Continue to track your progress on the worksheet.
• Listen to your body and don’t over do it.

Goal: To discover your lowest therapeutic dose of cannabis.

Today you will discover the lowest cannabis dosage needed to achieve the optimal benefits. You will be using the same procedure used on days 1 to 3, but this time you will increase the dose of cannabis beyond the minimal effect. Think of the symptomatic relief you want to achieve. Today you should achieve that level of relief, using a very low dosage.

• Use caution. The goal is use the minimal amount of cannabis needed to achieve the maximum benefits.
• Use the worksheet to guide you through this process.
• Increase your dosage slowly by checking your Inner Inventory and waiting the required time between each administration.
• Stop the process once you feel the desired relief from your symptoms.
• Use the next 2 to 3 sessions to confirm your dosage by repeating this process and waiting the required time in between. Once confirmed, you do not need to wait the time in between and can start at this optimal dosage.
