Generally, if the strain is of good quality and bought from an authentic vendor, then low doses are sufficient to get the results. 2g-5g is considered as low dosage and it also great for beginners out there who want to try and test which strain works best for them. These effects kick in after 5-10 minutes of consumption and last for up-to 60 minutes.
Low doses provide stimulating effects along with alertness and motivation.
Any dosage that it taken beyond 10g is considered to be as a high dose and causes sedative affects similar to that of morphine.
