Making and Dosing FECO Tinctures
Ready to embark on your FECO journey? This page provides a practical guide to scaling up your FECO dosage based on valuable insights from real patients. We’ll explore techniques for dilution, gradual dose increases, and managing potential side effects. You’ll also find helpful examples and calculations to personalize your approach. Remember, starting “low and slow” is key to finding the dosage that works best for you while minimizing any discomfort.
This video demonstrates how to properly dilute FECO in a carrier oil for precise dosing and explains the gradual increase in dosage to avoid psychoactive effects while maximizing therapeutic benefits.
FECO Scale-Up Dosing Protocol based on Patient-Reported Outcomes
- Start by diluting FECO in a carrier oil like coconut oil to make dosing easier and more precise.
- Example: Dilute 3 grams of 70% THC FECO into 30mL of coconut oil. This results in 2,100mg THC total, or 70mg THC per 1mL dropper. Each drop would contain about 3.2mg THC.
- Begin with 1 drop (approximately 3mg THC) at bedtime for 3-4 nights.
- Gradually increase by 1 drop every other night, adjusting based on tolerance.
- If excessive psychoactivity occurs, reduce the dose by 1-2 drops, and then slowly increase again after 1-2 days.
- Once acclimated, dosing can switch to fractions of milliliters (.25mL, .5mL, .75mL, and 1mL).
- Example: .25mL equals about 5 drops (17.5mg THC).
- For symptom relief, increase the dose slowly until finding what works.
- For direct anticancer effects, patient-reported outcomes suggest THC doses between 200-800mg per day may be effective.
- Using the 70mg/mL FECO-coconut oil mixture, a 200mg dose would require approximately 2.85mL (2 – 1mL doses, a .75mL dose, and 2 drops)
