CBD oil dosages – How much should you take?
Despite its growth in popularity in recent years, there is still no recommended daily allowance for CBD oil dosages in either the UK or US. It is therefore important to take body size and diet into account, as well as the severity of symptoms before choosing a minimal dose and slowly increasing the dose until the symptoms are relieved.
HOW MANY CBD OIL PRODUCTS ARE THERE?
There are four main forms of CBD oil, each with different rates of absorption into the body:
– CBD oil isolates or
concentrates are designed to be combusted and inhaled – similar to a
cigarette – and its effects can be felt almost instantly.
– CBD edibles include
any food product that incorporates CBD oil as an ingredient. These can
include brownies, cakes, or even soups. Edibles often have a longer
onset period, usually within 30-60 minutes.
– CBD tinctures are
often supplied with a dropper that is used to place a designated number
of droplets of oil under the tongue for a period of 60 seconds before
swallowing.
– CBD e-liquid is designed to be
vaporised using either an electronic cigarette or vaporiser. This form
of CBD delivery is growing in popularity due to its convenience, and
lack of combustion that could possibly damage the lungs.
Reputable
sellers will always sell these products with a description that
indicates the amount of CBD concentrate included. However, no matter how
you introduce CBD into your body, it’s always a good idea to start with
a small amount, and slowly increase over the course of a few months
until you feel that your symptoms are relieved.
CAN I OVERDOSE ON CBD OIL DOSAGES?
A further benefit of CBD oil is – based on current research – that
there is no dose that is lethal to humans. There have been occasions
where an individual has taken 1500mg per day, with no serious side
effects other than light-headedness, tiredness, dry mouth and other
minor inconveniences.
However, the Indiana University Department of
Medicine found that if CBD products are taken alongside a number of
prescription drugs, the time it takes the liver to metabolise these
drugs can be heavily affected, and so it is important to check with your
GP, or a medical marijuana expert if the drugs you take already could
be affected.
IS CBD OIL ADDICTIVE?
CBD oil is not physically addictive. In fact, there are many studies
being carried out around the world which intend to evaluate the
usefulness of CBD oil dosages as a method of addiction cessation.
It
is, however, important to remember that humans can develop habitual
addictions towards activities such as food and exercise amongst others,
so it’s always a good idea to be aware of how you incorporate the use of
CBD oil throughout the day.
SO, CBD OIL DOSAGES – HOW MUCH SHOULD I TAKE?
For pain relief or anxiety, clinical studies have recommended that
you start off by taking a dosage of between 2.5mg to 25mg of CBD per
day, although experts always recommend that you check with your
physician before doing so. If after a week or two you feel no effect,
then you can increase the dosage in small increments until the desired
outcome is attained.
In regard to the more severe conditions that CBD
has been credited with reducing the symptoms for – such as multiple
sclerosis, epilepsy and nausea due to cancer treatment – it is always
advised that you consult an expert as many of these conditions have,
anecdotally, been aided with varying amounts of THC included, and would
require a medicinal marijuana prescription from a GP.
