General Guidelines – CBD Dosage Chart

Determining how much CBD you need to take is quite simple. The general CBD dosage recommendations are 0.25 mg (Regular Dose) to 0.5 mg (Strong Dose) of CBD per every one pound of bodyweight. Let’s simplify this by giving you two simple formulas that you can use to determine the CBD dosage that’s right for you.

How to Calculate Your Regular Dose

Your regular dose is the amount of CBD you can take daily to ensure the benefits from this essential cannabinoid. To calculate your regular dose, all you need is your weight.

Regular CBD Dosage Calculator

Your Regular Dose of CBD = (Your body weight in pounds) x (0.25 mg CBD)

Example: If you weigh 150 pounds, multiply 150 by 0.25 mg CBD to get 37.5 mg of CBD ( 150 pounds x 0.25 mg CBD = 37.5 mg CBD).

For first-time CBD consumers, their regular dose is the perfect starting dosage. However, it would be best to always start at a lower dose rather than your regular dose to determine your CBD tolerance.

Once you feel comfortable with the amount of CBD you’re taking, work your way up to your regular dose. For many long-time CBD enthusiasts, a regular dose might be too low for them, and they might seek higher doses to attain CBD’s benefits.

How to Calculate your Strong Dose

You might want to consider taking a high dose of CBD if you tolerate it well and feel that your regular dose is, in fact, a low dose. For CBD connoisseurs who consume CBD regularly, a strong dose is just what they need to get them through the day. Here’s how you can determine your strong dose of CBD.

Strong CBD Dosage Calculator

Your Strong Dose of CBD = (Your body weight in pounds) x (0.50 mg CBD)

Example: If you weigh 150 pounds, multiply 150 by 0.50 mg CBD to get 75 mg of CBD ( 150 pounds x 0.50 mg CBD = 75 mg CBD).

Before you start taking high doses of CBD to boost your overall soundness, it’s highly recommended that you start with your regular dose first. Slowly work your daily dosage up only after you’ve determined your tolerance to CBD with your regular dose and whether or not it’s still an effective dosage for you.

CBD Dosage Strengths & Frequency

Taking CBD every day can help to regulate important functions vital to your health and wellness, such as mood, appetite, mobility, soreness, and sleep, to name a few. It’s important to note that the useful CBD dosage calculator we provided in the previous section is not absolute and is used to help you determine how much CBD you can ideally tolerate.

Regardless of the strength of your CBD dose, always start low and go slow. Here are some general tips to help you understand CBD dosage strength and frequency to help you determine the right dose for you.

Regular Dose

Many first-time and seasoned CBD enthusiasts add a regular dose to their daily wellness regimen to help promote better health and increased wellbeing. A regular dose may be considered a high, mild, or small dose to another person. It all depends on your body and your experience with CBD.

Strong Dose

If you find your regular CBD dose inadequate to satisfy your CBD needs, you might need to increase it to a stronger dose. Slowly work your way up to your strong CBD dose or until you reach an optimal dosage that’s right for you.

Dosing Frequency

Once you’ve determined your desired dosage, take CBD every 8 hours or as needed to receive the maximum benefits. For all other uses, take CBD once or twice a day.

CBD Dosage Chart – Important Information

The handy CBD dosage calculator and dosing charts we’ve provided are general guidelines to help you determine your optimal CBD dose. There is no one-size-fits-all CBD dosing approach because the amount of CBD you can handle is unique to you as it is to every individual. Some may do well with a very small dose, while others do well with higher doses. The prevailing mantra when figuring out your best dose for CBD is to start low and go slow.

Several factors that can impact how much CBD you can consume and its desired effect include:

• Age
• Bodyweight
• Individual body chemistry
• Underlying medical conditions
• Allergies
• CBD tolerance level

It’s extremely important to note that CBD is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition. If you have any underlying medical conditions, seek professional medical advice first before taking any approved nonprescription CBD products. A medical professional will help you determine whether or not you can incorporate CBD into your daily health and wellness routine and help relieve any concerns you may have about the safety and side effects of CBD.

Can You Take Too Much CBD? Can You Overdose?

The short answer: No, you cannot overdose on CBD. Although the Food and Drug Administration has not issued daily dosage requirements, a 2017 review determined that humans can tolerate up to 1500 mg CBD per day. To put this into perspective, it would be the equivalent of eating five 300 mg jars of CBD gummies (150 gummies at 10 mg per gummy) per day. Although our gummies are delicious, you will not want to consume more than your optimal dosage of CBD.

It is impossible to overdose on CBD. However, you may end up ingesting slightly more than your recommended daily allowance. In the rare instance that this occurs, you will feel mild, temporary side effects that will resolve rather quickly.

Some of the side effects of taking more than your recommended dose of CBD may include:

• Mood changes
• Fluctuations in appetite
• Upset stomach
• Lethargy
• Drowsiness

CBD Dosage – Is It The Same With All Products?

With each type of CBD product comes different onset times and duration of effects. Let’s look at the different categories of CBD products and find out how you can benefit from them.

Sublingual

Once you determine your CBD oil dosage, you can dose it in many ways. One of the most effective ways to dose CBD oil tinctures is sublingually. This method involved placing your CBD oil dosage underneath your tongue and holding it there for 90 seconds.

Sublingual use is an effective method because it bypasses your digestive system and takes advantage of the many glands present underneath your tongue to facilitate quicker uptake of CBD into your bloodstream. The effects occur 15-30 minutes after CBD oil is administered and last 4-6 hours.

Oral Ingestion

Edibles are a quick, easy, and delicious way to dose CBD. Although edibles like CBD oil tinctures, gummies, and capsules are convenient to dose, they generally take the longest for the effects to kick in, usually occurring 45-60 minutes after oral ingestion.

After consuming edibles, they slowly snake their way through your gastrointestinal tract and eventually enter your bloodstream, where your body can finally feel the effects. Edibles have the longest-lasting effects and can last 6-8 hours.

Edibles can come in various forms, including:

• Oil (tinctures)
• Gummies
• Capsules
• Honey sticks
• Soft gels
• Sweets like cookies and brownies

CBD oil is one of the most popular edibles due to its versatility. You can take it directly or add it to your favorite food or drink.

Inhalation

For consumers, instant satisfaction is key. And that is what they get when inhaling CBD. The effects from inhalation kick in almost immediately to 30-90 seconds after inhalation. This is because when you inhale CBD, it goes straight to your lungs and diffuses into your bloodstream. But there is a trade-off: quicker onset times result in a shorter duration of effects, typically 3-4 hours.

From CBD flower to pre-rolls to vapes, various CBD products exist for you to inhale. But that doesn’t mean all of these products have the same potency.

CBD concentrates, like CBD wax, are the most potent form of inhalation due to the high amounts of CBD in the products. When taking concentrates for quick, powerful results, a little dab will be fine. The CBD flower you’re inhaling is also a factor, as each strain has different concentrations of CBD in them. Always read the label of the CBD products you choose to inhale to understand their potency and determine if they’re right for you.

Topical Use

If you prefer not to ingest or inhale CBD, then you’re in luck! With CBD Topicals, all you have to do is apply it to the skin, and you’re done. There are various products for topical CBD use, with the most popular ones being CBD lotion and CBD relief salve.

Since topicals are applied to the skin, they do not enter the bloodstream and can be used several times a day for repeated effect. Second to inhalation, CBD topicals provide some of the fastest onset times, generally kicking in either immediately or within 15 minutes of application.

Start Low and Work Your Way Up

As we’ve mentioned repeatedly, the mantra that all CBD connoisseurs should abide by is: start low and go slow. If you have already used our handy CBD calculator to determine your regular and strong dose of CBD, remember that these figures are not set in stone and are merely general recommendations.

Always start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you reach the desired effect without surpassing your calculated dose. By taking things slow, you’ll be able to determine the best CBD dosage for you.
