f you’re exploring cannabis for the first time or looking to fine-tune your experience, understanding the THC vs. CBD ratio guide is a great place to start.
At Green Leaf NY, we often get questions like:
- “What’s better — THC or CBD?”
- “Should I try a 1:1 ratio?”
- “Will I feel high with a 5:1?”
The answer? It depends on your goals, comfort level, and the experience you’re looking for.
What Do the Ratios Mean?
THC and CBD are the two most well-known cannabinoids. When you see ratios like 1:1 or 10:1, it refers to the amount of CBD vs. THC.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
- 1:1 → Balanced, often calming with light euphoria
- 2:1 or 5:1 CBD:THC → Mild effects, popular for daytime or stress support
- THC-dominant (e.g. 1:10) → Stronger psychoactive effects, recommended for experienced users
🧠 For a more in-depth overview, this guide from Project CBD is a helpful resource for new users.
How to Choose Your Ratio
- If you’re new to THC → Start with 1:1 or higher-CBD formulas
- If you want mellow focus → Try balanced or CBD-dominant products
- If you’re ready for stronger effects → Explore moderate to high-THC options slowly
Always remember: start low and go slow. Give yourself time to see how your body reacts before adjusting your dose or format.
