Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) suggest that effective FECO dosing for cancer treatment varies widely, depending on individual needs and responses.

THC Doses:

• Most patients report using 400-750mg THC per day for anticancer effects.
• Some find success with lower doses, between 100-200mg per day.
• PRO evidence suggests a range of 200-800mg THC per day may be effective.

CBD Doses:

• Common doses range from 175-350mg per day, with PRO data showing a range of 100-500mg.
• Patients typically report better results using THC or THC combined with CBD than CBD alone.

Consumption Methods Per Patient-Reported Outcomes

• • Direct Consumption:
    The simplest method involves squeezing a small amount onto your finger and licking it off. While effective, it can be messy, and many patients prefer other techniques.

  • Putting FECO onto Food:
    Squeeze the FECO onto a small piece of food, like an almond or scoop of peanut butter. This method helps with absorption and makes dosing more convenient.

  • Encapsulating FECO:
    Fill gelatin or vegetable capsules with FECO to avoid the taste and prepare multiple doses ahead of time. This method reduces absorption through the mouth, but many patients still report good results.

  • Freezing FECO:
    Drop FECO onto food-grade parchment or rice paper and freeze it for a few hours. The frozen drops can be swallowed like pills or absorbed under the tongue.

  • Diluting FECO into Oil:
    Mix FECO into oils like olive or MCT oil to create a more liquid, dropper-friendly form. This makes dosing simpler and more precise.

Dosing Guidelines

• Patients often calculate doses using the formula: Target Dose / Product Concentration = Volume Needed
  Example: For a target dose of 300mg THC and FECO with 650mg/g, use: 300mg / 650mg/g = 0.46g.
• Many start with small doses (1/4 to 1/2 rice grain size), increasing gradually based on tolerance. The “low and slow” approach is commonly reported to reduce side effects like anxiety and nausea.

Prepared Products and Edibles

• Edibles and capsules offer convenient options for dosing but may not provide high enough doses for cancer treatment.
• For high doses, FECO or infused oils are often more effective than prepared products.

The 1-Gram-Per-Day Protocol

Some patients report following a 1-gram-per-day FECO protocol. While this method delivers high doses of THC and cannabinoids, which could be beneficial, PROs suggest that precise milligram dosing is often more effective in fine-tuning treatment and minimizing psychoactive side effects.
