Dosage and presentation of CBD
How many mg or drops of CBD should I take?
Finding the right mg dosage or CBD drops can be a challenge for new users. When determining your CBD oil dosage it is important to understand that each person is unique and will experience different effects.
Factors that influence the ideal CBD dose
The ideal dose of CBD depends on several factors, such as height and weight, the reason for taking CBD, tolerance to CBD, individual body chemistry, the potency and quality of the chosen product, the desired effects of CBD, and the type of CBD chosen (isolate, broad spectrum or full spectrum).
It is important to note that cannabis dosing is extremely individualized and is based on a process called ‘patient-centered dosing.’
Dose adjustment process
The optimal dosage of mg or drops of CBD is found through an individual adjustment process. It is less precise than conventional medication guides, but CBD’s safety profile makes self-medication less risky.
It is important to note that no deaths have been documented from overmedication with CBD or other cannabinoids.
A person with good tone in the endocannabinoid system may require lower doses of CBD and experience more subtle effects, while a person with health problems may need higher doses.
CBD oil or drops are similar to a multivitamin in that it takes time to accumulate in the body and produce its benefits.
It is suggested to start with a low mg dose or CBD drops and gradually increase depending on how you feel.
A good starting estimate for effective daily doses of CBD based on weight would be 1 mg of CBD per 5-6 kg of weight.
CBD dosage table
Below is a table of CBD dosages based on weight:
This table provides a general guideline for determining CBD dosage in mg based on body weight.
Calculation of CBD concentration in the oil
To know the concentration of CBD in milligrams per milliliter of oil, you can divide the total amount of milligrams of CBD in the bottle by the milliliters of the bottle.
For example, if a bottle of CBD oil has a concentration of 250 mg of CBD and a volume of 30 milliliters, the concentration would be approximately 8.33 mg of CBD per milliliter.
It is important to take the concentration of CBD into account when calculating the appropriate dosage.
Precise dosing with pipettes and capsules
The pipettes on bottles of CBD oil or drops are usually graduated to facilitate dosing. Each milliliter in the pipette is equivalent to 40 drops of CBD, allowing for precise calculations.
In the case of CBD softgels or gummies, dosing is done per piece, allowing for more precise dosing.
Gradual dose adjustment
If the suggested initial dose does not produce the desired effects, the CBD dose can be increased gradually, weekly or every ten days, by 1/4 milliliter or 10 drops of CBD, until the optimal dose is found.
It is important to take progressive steps to allow the body to slowly adjust to the dosage.
It takes a little experimentation, testing, and adjustment to find the optimal CBD dosage for each person.
Product quality and final recommendations
It is essential to ensure that CBD-based products are of the highest quality possible, with laboratory certificates that guarantee the absence of heavy metals, pesticides, residual solvents and microbial contaminants.
