There are two major downsides to THC-A: First, despite being wildly abundant in Cannabis, it is not commonly available at dispensaries yet. This will change as awareness and research increase. In the meantime, see the home version instructions below. Second, there is fairly little known at this time about how much to use. Best estimates appear to be between 10-40mg twice a day. However, given that it is non-intoxicating and safer than CBD, it is reasonable to titrate the dose slowly to best effect. This should be done very slowly over many weeks as research indicates that the benefit takes a while to accrue, possibly as long as 6 weeks for maximum effect.
