    Start low, go slow

    Precautionary principle in medical cannabis use: start with a low dose, increase slowly, and calmly wait for the effects.

    Detailed Explanation

    "Start low, go slow" is an established principle — especially in medical cannabis application. It means beginning with a very small amount, waiting for the onset of effects, and increasing only in small steps. This way, unwanted side effects can be better avoided.
