How Much CBD Should I Take?

When it comes to caring for ourselves many of us think, the more I take, the better I’ll feel, but this isn’t always necessarily true of CBD products. As we always mention (you’re probably sick of it by now!) how much CBD a person needs to take varies on many factors, as everyone is different.

The best way to figure this out is by experimentation! Tune into your body and even document your CBD dosage each time you take it. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy, but just a quick note of the strength of CBD (milligrams), how much you took (one dropperful? Half a dropperful?), and how you felt afterwards. 

Finding The Optimal CBD Amount For You

The adage in the industry is “start low and go slow.” The beauty of CBD is you can adjust the dosage pretty easily in a CBD tincture. It may also require a little trial and error as we mentioned earlier. 

Start with a specific amount and then check in with yourself and see how you feel. If you could use a little more, do that, or if you’ve found some relief, stay there! 

Try starting with a couple of smaller doses throughout the day instead of one big, high milligram dosage. Try this for a couple of days and see where you’re at — if necessary, adjust the amount. 

Let’s talk about the biphasic effects of cannabis compounds for a minute. Biphasic effects, what is this? This equates to opposite effects — so a small amount of CBD can be stimulating, while a larger dose can cause more of a sedative state. Just keep in mind, less is more when it comes to cannabinoid compounds such as CBD. 

The takeaway: you’ll find the right amount of CBD that you need when you experiment with the strength and amount. This is said not to be discouraging, but to encourage you to really empower yourself in your wellness journey! It may take a a few adjustments, but stick with it and listen to your body!
