THC-JD stands for “tetrahydrocannabioctyl”. The “octyl” comes from “octa”, meaning “8”. Its name references the cannabinoid’s 8-carbon sidechain which references its chemical structure, and it contrasts the 5-carbon sidechain of delta 9 THC. THC-JD is one of the newer cannabinoids you will encounter when shopping for hemp products, and it promises to pack a major punch in the psychoactive department, being notably stronger than delta 9 THC.
Because it is such a new cannabinoid in terms of its availability on the hemp market, you may feel lost when it comes to deciding how much to take to get the desired effects. Luckily, we can help you out! This awesome guide to dosing with THC-JD includes all of the product forms in which it’s currently available for purchase.

THC-JD Dosage vs. THC-JD Strength
Before we talk about the best dosage for THC-JD products, let’s cover strength versus dosage, since both of these factors are equally important.
Dosage: Dosage reflects the amount of product that we take, such as 4 puffs off of a vape cartridge, or 1 gummy.
Strength: Strength reflects the number of milligrams of THC-JD in the product, which tells us how potent the product is. A dropper of a THC-JD tincture can contain any number of milligrams of THC-JD, and so the same amount of a specific type of product can vary a lot in terms of how much of the cannabinoid you’re actually consuming.
THC-JD Dosage Guide Chart:
- Beginner THC-JD dosing (low tolerance): 1mg-5mg per use
- Intermediate THC-JD dosing (medium tolerance): 5mg-10mg per use
- Advanced THC-JD dosing (high tolerance): 10mg-15mg+ per use
This applies to THC-JD tinctures, THC-JD vape cartridges, THC-JD gummies as well as other THC-JD products. The best way to dose out THC-JD is to try a very tiny amount, then slowly until you feel what you need. Product by product THC-JD dosing will be shown below.
Where To Buy THC-JD Vapes & Products In Your State
The best place to buy THC-JD products is from Binoid, one of the largest and best THC-JD brands that has a wide variety of THC-JD disposables, THC-JD Gummies and THC-JD Tinctures for you to enjoy. Binoid has 1000s of five star reviews for Binoid products that people are loving.
How Long Does THC-JD Take To Work?
THC-JD products kick in within 25 minutes if vaped or dabbed, and 1 hour if ingested through THC-JD tinctures. THC-JD products work like how any other product that you would inhale or digest do.
However, just like Delta 9 THC, be careful with ingestion because you might feel the need to take more when in reality it has not hit you yet. For this reason, we suggest waiting at least 2 hours before taking more THC-JD products. Especially as they are extremely potent and may creep up before kicking in.
THC-JD Dosing Instructions
Often, you’ll find that the company that makes the THC-JD product has a recommended dosage chart amount somewhere on their packaging, which allows you to know how much you should take in one sitting to consume an “average” amount of THC-JD.
This is a good piece of information to follow when getting started, as the manufacturer knows how much of their product you should take to generally experience the desired effects. For example, Binoid has THC-JD dosing information on all of their THC-JD product packaging.
Factors That Influence How Much THC-JD You Might Want to Take
Before we get into how much THC-JD is generally recommended, we want to mention that ultimately, the amount that’s right for you can depend on several different variables. Let’s explain.
#1: Your Tolerance to THC-JD
One thing that we know is that each person’s tolerance and sensitivity to cannabinoids is unique, based on how their endocannabinoid system is designed. We also know that those who are totally new to cannabis are likely to have a very low general tolerance.
If you’ve never consumed any cannabinoid before, you may have an incredibly low tolerance to THC-JD which means that an extremely low dose will feel potent in your system. If you’re a seasoned THC consumer, you may find that you already have something of a tolerance to its effects that allows you to take a more standard dosage as a first-timer.
#2: The Product Type
What we’ve seen with all cannabinoids is that the delivery method and product type have a lot to do with the experience that we end up having. The more bioavailable a specific delivery method is, meaning how efficiently it absorbs into the bloodstream, the more potent, fast-acting, and short-lived the high will be.
Inhalation of THC-JD, like with vapes, flower, or dabs will give you the strongest effects, typically felt within minutes, while edible doses take a while to kick in and offer something of a more gradual peak that’s slightly subdued. Tinctures are somewhere in the middle. Then, with concentrates, aka dabs, you have the most potent product type by far.
#3: What You Want Out of Your Experience
You might be someone who just prefers a low serving of a THC-JD product, because you want milder psychoactive effects. Or maybe, you’re looking for THC-JD dabs because you want to get as high as possible, and so you’d likely be comfortable with a high dose.
#4: The Strain
As you may know, the strain of the THC-JD product can influence how strong its high is, which is the case with flower, dabs, and vapes. Different strains have different amounts of THC in them, and thus some are just much more potent than others. Do some reading up on the strain you’re buying to find out how potent it is, and dose accordingly.
#5: Other Cannabinoids You’re Taking
If you’re also taking other cannabinoids, especially intoxicating ones, you might want to take a half dose or so of THC-JD. A full dose of two different cannabinoids at once could mean getting more intoxicated than you planned on.
What’s the Proper THC-JD Dosage?
Fortunately, we do have some general ideas of how much THC-JD a person should take at once, based on what they want to get out of our experience. We’ve broken our dosage guide into three categories based on the different levels of potency consumers may be looking for.
#1: THC-JD Vape Cartridges
THC-JD vape cartridges are quite potent and fast-acting because of the high bioavailability of this type of delivery method (inhalation). To calculate the number of milligrams you’re taking in per puff, you need to determine the total milligram strength of the cartridge as advertised by the product maker, and divide that by the number of milliliters in the cartridge. Then, divide that number by 100, as there are around 100 puffs in each milliliter of vape oil.
Low Dose: 1-5mg
Moderate Dose: 5-10mg
High Dose: 10mg+
Now, maybe you’d rather a more basic dosing guideline based on the number of puffs to take, that doesn’t require any calculations. How deeply you inhale will affect how strong each puff is, so just keep that in mind.
Low Dose: 1 puff
Moderate Dose: 2-3 puffs
High Dose: 4+ puffs
#2: THC-JD Disposable Vape Pens
You’ll also see THC-JD disposable vape pens, which come with the same rules of dosing as vape cartridges. Disposables use different technological components to enable the vaping process, but the vape oil itself is the same, as is the output level of the device that determines the amount of vapor produced by a single draw. So, once again, the formula for figuring out how many milligrams of a vape disposable are:
Low Dose: 1-5mg
Moderate Dose: 5-10mg
High Dose: 10mg+
Again, if you prefer a more basic dosing guide based on the number of puffs to take, we have that too.
Low Dose: 1 puff
Moderate Dose: 2-3 puffs
High Dose: 4+ puffs
#3: THC-JD Tincture
Dosing with THC-JD tinctures requires that you divide the number of milligrams of THC-JD in the bottle by the number of milliliters it contains. For example, if you have a 1000mg 30ml tincture, that comes out to about 33 milligrams per milliliter, with the dropper cap that comes with the bottle usually containing a milliliter of oil at a time.
Once you come up with the number of milligrams in each dropper of oil, you can modify the dosage amount based on the type of experience you want to achieve, as seen below. Because oral products absorb into the body less easily than inhalable products, we compensate for this with higher dosage amounts.
Low Dose: Quarter Dropper
Moderate Dose: Half Dropper
High Dose: Full Dropper
#4: THC-JD Edibles
THC-JD edibles are ingested, and the effects can last for much longer than vapes and tinctures, although the effects can be a bit more subdued. Because they are oral products like tinctures, the dosing guidelines are actually similar.
If you’re going with gummies, dosing is actually easy. Each gummy in the package will contain the same number of milligrams of THC-JD, which means that to adjust the dosage, you just decide how many gummies to take at one time. The same rule applies to capsules, as every capsule is going to contain the same amount of THC-JD.
Low Dose: Quarter Edible
Moderate Dose: Half Edible
High Dose: Full Edible
#5: THC-JD Flower
Dosing with THC-JD flower is a bit more complicated, because flower doesn’t come in milligram strengths like other types of products. So, we dose according to the number of puffs, regardless of whether we are smoking or vaping it. Just remember that smoking it may bring you a slightly more potent experience than vaping it, because smoke is denser, and therefore slightly more concentrated. This applies to vaping flower, or smoking it whether that be in a pipe or in the form of a blunt/pre-roll.
Low Dose: 1 puff
Moderate Dose: 1-3 puffs
High Dose: 3+ puffs
On the other hand, if you’re baking or cooking with THC-JD flower, that’s a different story. You might want to weigh the flower, to put into your recipe your preferred edibles milligram strength (anywhere from 10-50mg for most individuals), multiplied by the number of servings that the recipe will yield.
#6: THC-JD Dabs
THC-JD dabs, aka concentrates, are the most potent products by far, because they’re highly concentrated. Like with flower, it’s hard to dose according to milligram strength, since they don’t come in milligram strength options. So, like with flower, we go based on the puff count, which generally applies to all types of dabs.
Keep in mind that dabs are for experienced users with a higher tolerance, which is why the puff count recommendations are the same as they are for flower, rather than lower to compensate for the added potency.
Low Dose: 1 puff
Moderate Dose: 1-3 puffs
High Dose: 3+ puffs
Find the THC-JD Dose That Works for You
At the end of the day, how much THC-JD you should take really depends on what you want in terms of how high you’d like to get, and your THC tolerance.
Binoid’s THC-JD products arrive with clear dosing directions on the label, to make the process of figuring out how much to take a little easier. Consider starting with a low dose as a newbie, and then start increasing that amount over time until you find your own version of satisfaction.
