New Year, New Relief: Refreshing Your Cannabis Dosing Plan After the Holidays

Refreshing Your Cannabis Dosing Plan After the Holidays

The holidays often bring joy, stress, disrupted routines, and for many patients, an inconsistent approach to their low-THC medication. Whether you increased your dose to manage holiday anxiety or skipped days while traveling or hosting, January is the perfect time to reset.

At Floweret MD, we believe the new year isn’t about perfection—it’s about paying attention to what’s working and what’s not.

🧠 Why a Fresh Look at Your Dosing Plan Matters

You wouldn’t use the same skincare or workout plan forever without checking results, right? The same goes for your cannabis regimen. Over time, your body may adjust to certain cannabinoids, and your symptoms might shift too.

Here are signs it’s time for a dosing refresh:

• You’re using more product but getting less relief
• You’re feeling sedated or “flat” instead of supported
• Your symptom journal shows erratic highs/lows in control
• You haven’t spoken to your certifying doctor in over 6 months

If any of those feel familiar, now is the time to re-evaluate.

🔄 Step 1: Consider a Soft Reset (Tolerance Awareness)

You’ve probably heard of a tolerance break—a short pause from THC to help your receptors reset. But you don’t always need a full break. Instead, many Floweret MD patients benefit from a “soft reset” such as:

• Slightly lowering your daily THC dose for 3–5 days
• Switching to a higher CBD-to-THC ratio (e.g., 20:1)
• Using topicals or tinctures only at specific times rather than around-the-clock

This small adjustment can make your usual dose feel effective again—without stopping completely.

📔 Step 2: Revisit Your Goals for 2025

What did you use cannabis for in 2024—and has that changed?

• Are you managing chronic pain, but now sleep is your biggest concern?
• Are your daytime anxiety symptoms under control, but nighttime restlessness is worsening?
• Are you combining cannabis with new medications (or stopping others)?

Write down your top 1–2 wellness goals for this year, then assess whether your current ratio and dosing times support those goals. If not, adjustment might be necessary.

💡 Step 3: Match Your Goals to the Right Product Type

Not sure which one you’re using? That’s okay—reach out. One of the most common January calls we get is from patients who aren’t sure what’s in their bottle anymore. We help you decode your ratios and product options.

🧑‍⚕️ Need Help? You’re Not Alone.

You don’t have to figure this out on your own. Floweret MD patients can always schedule a quick check-in to:

• Review which ratio you’re using now
• Explore whether an alternate delivery method (like topical or capsule) would work better
• Understand if you’re eligible for a new certification
• Ask questions without judgment

You’re not starting over—you’re starting smart.

📌 Final Thought

Whether you’re new to low-THC medicine or several years in, a new year is a new chance to feel better.
No guilt. No pressure. Just progress.

If your 2025 goals include better sleep, pain control, or simply more energy to do what you love—let’s make sure your cannabis plan is working with you
