Start your micro-dose experiment with 1 tab, chewed & dissolved in your mouth, or swallowed whole with water (onset time: 20 to 40 minutes). Effects may be subtle (depending on your THC sensitivity) and can include gentle release of tension, improved mood, heightened interest & focus, and a greater sense of flow in thought & movement.
Feel free to continue this dose for a few days to observe the effects.
Or try dosing at different times (morning, mid-day, before exercise, etc.) to find your optimal activity & timing. Check out our dosing routines for inspiration (or to share your own discoveries).
Next, try 2 tablets. A little more uplifting? Great! You found your Z-spot!
A little too much? Just step back down to one tab next time.
Want a bigger lift? Try 3 tablets! That's 1.2mg of THC — still much gentler than the lowest-dose gummies on the market. And Zeno’s precision dosage ensures that you’re getting exactly the amount you want, for a consistent experience.
Still not feeling it? Then you have a higher tolerance for THC. Feel free to take more tomorrow — up to 6 tablets — until you notice the effects.
Want to maintain your flow state throughout the whole day?
You can repeat your preferred dose (or a slightly smaller dose) every few hours.
What does this look like? If you take 2 tablets with your morning coffee at 8am, you could take another 1-2 tablets at 12pm, and again at 4pm.

Zeno is the world’s first true cannabis micro-dose, with only 0.4 mg of THC in each tablet.
Taken as part of a daily routine, Zeno provides the mood-and-focus-enhancing benefits of cannabis — without the distracting psychoactive effects of typical higher-doses.
Zeno is designed for precision dosing, so you know exactly how much THC you’re getting, every single time. This empowers you to gradually increase your dosage to the exact level your body needs — no more cutting gummies in half or accidentally overshooting your sweet spot.
To maintain an elevated flow state throughout the day, Zeno can be taken every few hours, to extend its mood-boosting benefits.
Zeno is formulated with an active ingredient found in green tea — the amino acid L-Theanine, which is both soothing & focusing — a perfect complement to the effects of THC.
Perfect for sharing, Zeno is also a safe and reliable way to introduce friends and family to the benefits of cannabis.
Everyone’s talking about the benefits of cannabis for overall wellness — from addressing common challenges like sleep and discomfort, to relieving stress and enhancing mood.
But many people are too sensitive to THC, so typical cannabis products tend to be too strong for daily use or first-time experimentation. If you’ve ever wanted to introduce a friend or family member to cannabis but they were worried about getting too high, Zeno is the perfect way for them to get started.
Even if you enjoy the effects of “being stoned” you might not know that a true micro-dose can be a very different, more functional experience — one that can increase focus and motivation. To learn more about this effect, check out our blog post on the science of microdosing.
A true micro-dose of THC can seem like an entirely different substance: energizing vs sedating; clarifying vs fogging; soothing vs agitating.
Many of our early testers and customers didn’t enjoy cannabis in the past, or can only enjoy it in certain limited situations — but an overwhelming majority say they LOVED the effects of Zeno. We'll be adding their testimonials to our site soon.
Most people report experiencing subtle improvement in mood and physical comfort, relief from tension and stress, and increased focus and inspiration — leading to extended states of absorption in their activities, whether that’s work, exercise, rest or recreation.
Zeno is designed to make micro-dosing easy for everyone — whatever their prior experience with cannabis. Check out the first-time instructions here.
Because people’s sensitivity to THC varies, there’s no single dose that’s right for everyone.
We recommend starting with 1 tablet per day, taken in the morning or whenever is best for you. If you don’t notice much of an effect, or would like it a little stronger, the following day you can increase your dose to 2 tablets.
Most people love taking Zeno so they can focus and work effectively, but If you are very sensitive to cannabis or unsure how you’ll respond, feel free to try Zeno in the evening or on a weekend so you can relax and enjoy the effects, without worry or distraction. Once you’re familiar with your response to Zeno, you should feel more comfortable experimenting with it during the week.
Since most people have never experienced a true micro-dose of THC, we recommend starting with 1 tablet (0.4mg THC).
Experienced cannabis fans can still appreciate Zeno’s subtle effects — and many prefer Zeno’s precise dosage for certain situations, especially as an alternative to less-predictable high-dose products.
However, if you know that you have a high tolerance (i.e. you eat 5-10mg gummies casually) feel free to start with 2-3 Zeno tablets, for a dose of 0.8mg THC to 1.2mg THC.
Most people report noticing the effects in 20-40 minutes.
Chewing Zeno or sucking it like a mint can help it be absorbed a little faster. (Some people notice an effect within 5-10 minutes with this method.)
Both approaches work.
We designed Zeno to be convenient and easy for everyone to use. Since swallowing pills can be tricky for some people, we made Zeno chewable and tasty. But the tablets are also perfectly sized for swallowing with water.
That said, research suggests THC is absorbed faster when taken sublingually or swished in the mouth — so if you’d like to reach your Z-spot sooner, chew your Zeno tablets and let them dissolve in your mouth before swallowing.
We use Zeno every day, and most of our early-testers and customers have made Zeno part of their daily routine, but many use it just a few times a week, as needed.
We believe in experimentation, and that you’re the best judge of what works for your body and your life — so feel free to try Zeno every day, at different times of day, in different situations, and to take breaks as well — until you find the dosing routine that’s best for you.
Zeno can be taken at any time of day, and we encourage you to experiment, to find the timing that works best for you.
We suggest trying Zeno in the morning — with coffee or tea, or on a sunrise walk or jog. Many people report getting an extra burst of inspiration and motivation that carries them through the day. Others say they feel greater clarity of mind, more like their best selves, able to do their best with more ease.
You can try Zeno at other times, too — later in the morning (after completing various tasks, before doing focused work), near the end of the day (to get a second wind when energy is flagging), or even at dinner (to help unwind before bed, without the need for alcohol or stronger cannabis products).
It’s also possible to take Zeno multiple times — morning, noon, and night — to fuel a steady flow state throughout the day.
You can always take more Zeno tablets if you find the effects are fading.
The human body metabolizes THC over the course of a few hours, lowering levels available in the bloodstream. To maintain these subtle-but-effective levels of THC, try taking another dose (full or partial) every 2-4 hours.
Feeling great and totally absorbed in what you’re doing? Wonderful!
Don’t interrupt your flow. Zeno will be there for you when you feel the need — whether that’s later today or later next week.
If you waited an hour or two and didn’t notice any effects, it’s possible that your tolerance for THC is naturally elevated. Tomorrow, try Increasing your dose and see how you feel.
If you ramp all the way up to 3 or 4 tablets (1.2mg or 1.6mg THC) and still don’t feel anything — you probably have a high tolerance.
Coffee, tea, and chocolate all pair perfectly with Zeno — humans have been combining cannabis and caffeine for centuries.
Not only that, Zeno is formulated with an active ingredient found in green tea — the amino acid L-Theanine, which is both soothing & focusing — a perfect complement to the effects of THC.
Many people take L-Theanine pills with their morning coffee to prevent unpleasant jitteriness. One or more Zeno tablets provide this same effect, but with the added bonus of a THC micro-dose.
We designed Zeno for daily functional use, and to provide a healthier alternative to smoking and drinking.
That said, if you have safely combined cannabis and alcohol before, Zeno will be no different.
If you’re less experienced with cannabis, it’s important to understand that alcohol is metabolized by the same liver enzymes that break down THC. This means that combining Zeno with alcohol can intensify your experience — for good or for bad. Know your limits and experiment with caution.
Yes. Zeno is an excellent way to soothe a hangover while keeping your wits about you. Your normal dose, or a little bit less, should work fine. Just remember to drink plenty of water!
Including CBD would have made Zeno more expensive and less predictable — since every body responds differently to CBD. We wanted to keep it simple, providing an easy way to micro-dose THC and to adjust your dose for predictable results.
We do believe in the beneficial power of CBD to modulate the body’s endocannabinoid system, and we encourage experimenting with CBD if you haven’t already.
Zeno combines perfectly with any high-quality CBD product, taken together or at different times of the day. Although CBD is reputed to soften the effects of THC, this isn’t always the case. If you don’t currently take CBD, we suggest gradual experimentation when adding it to your Zeno routine.
You should consult with your doctor about how your medications will interact with Zeno.
But a good rule of thumb is that any medication processed by CYP enzymes in the liver might be affected — positively or negatively — by cannabis and CBD products. (Some medications bear a warning about consuming grapefruit, since grapefruit also affects these liver enzymes.)
Absolutely not. Even low levels of THC can be detected by most drug tests. (This is also a concern with “full-spectrum” CBD products, which contain trace amounts of THC, even if they don’t “get you high.”)
That said, if you have used Zeno and are concerned about passing a drug test, there are cleansing practices and products that people use to help flush lingering THC from their system a few days or weeks before a test.
Each Zeno tablet delivers 40mg of L-Theanine and 0.4 mg THC.
The full ingredient list is:
Each Zeno tablet contains about ⅓ of a calorie.
Zeno’s calories come mainly from Mannitol, a low-calorie alternative to sugar. Mannitol is similar to Xylitol — they’re compounds known as “sugar alcohols,” which taste sweet but are mostly unabsorbed by the digestive tract.
Mannitol raises blood glucose much slower than regular sugars do, and is generally considered safe in moderation for diabetics.
Zeno is not an “Indica” or “Sativa.” Most people rely on these labels to predict if a cannabis product will be sedating & body-soothing (Indica) or energizing & mind enhancing (Sativa). Because Zeno is a micro-dose product, such labels aren’t useful — they suggest very different kinds of effects than what Zeno provides.
Zeno does not currently use a specific strain of cannabis (though we are experimenting with various strains for future formulations). Our THC is a pure nano distillate, rather than a full-spectrum extract (meaning there is no CBD, CBG, CBN, THCa, THCv, or delta 8 THC, and there are no aroma molecules).
Note: The vast majority of cannabis edibles and vapes aren’t made with full-spectrum THC, but with pure THC distillate, extracted from a variety of cannabis plants. Manufacturers typically add natural aroma molecules (“terpenes”) to their product in order to approximate the aroma and effects of specific cannabis strains.
We test every batch of Zeno for pesticides, solvents, microbes and heavy metals. You can review our lab results here.
