How To Take CBD Guide

The Ultimate Guide for Using CBD

When searching for your next CBD product, you may have questions about how to use it and what it does.

This ultimate guide includes everything you need to know about using popular CBD products, including dosage tips and guidelines.

CBD Oil and Tinctures

As one of the most popular consumption methods, CBD Oils and tinctures are an easy way to introduce CBD to any wellness routine.

To use CBD oil, first look at the recommended dosage guidelines and the amount of CBD in your product. Generally, it’s best to start with 3-4 drops under your tongue, but you may need to adjust this amount depending on your individual needs. Sublingual use is recommended for the best results since it allows the CBD to be quickly absorbed into the bloodstream. However, you can also use CBD oil by putting it in your favourite drinks and foods or ingesting it by itself.

To calculate how much CBD is in each drop, divide the total amount of CBD in the bottle by the number of millilitres (mL) in that bottle. Once you’ve determined how much CBD is in 1ml, you can calculate your dosage by multiplying the number of drops you need to take by the amount of CBD in 1ml.

For example, if you have 1500mg of CBD in a 30ml bottle, divide 1500mg by 30ml for a total of 50mg of CBD per millilitre.

1ml is approximately one full dropper, so if you want to take 25mg of CBD, take one-half of a dropper (or 0.5ml). Or, if you need to take 50mg of CBD, you would need one full dropper (or 1ml).

If you want steady relief throughout the day, consider splitting your dose into two or three smaller amounts.

CBD Edibles

If you don’t like the taste of CBD oil or don’t want to vape, CBD edibles like gummies and capsules can offer the same benefits without the unpleasant taste.

Start by reading the label to check the recommended dosage and CBD content for edibles. Each edible will have a precisely measured dose, so you won’t have to do any calculations.

To consume edibles, all you have to do is simply take the recommended dose. Some products contain more CBD than others, so always read the label to guarantee you’re taking the right amount. If you want to take a smaller amount than one gummy has, try starting with half of one.

CBD edibles can take anywhere from one to four hours to kick in because they must first be digested. However, the effects of edibles last longer and are more potent than other ingestion methods.

CBD Cream and Topicals

Unlike other CBD products, creams and topicals don’t have to be ingested to offer benefits.

Instead, apply them directly to the area needing treatment. For example, if you have sore muscles after a workout, apply CBD cream directly to the affected area and rub it in until it’s fully absorbed.

The amount of CBD cream you need depends on the size and severity of the affected area. Start with a thin layer and gently massage it using an upwards circular motion. If you need to apply more, slowly increase your dosage or apply it twice daily.

CBD Vapes

Vaping CBD works by heating the liquid in the vape’s cartridge and turning it into vapour, which is then inhaled.

When using CBD vapes, start with small puffs before increasing the amount of vapour you take in. Once you’ve determined how much CBD you need for your symptoms, stick with the same amount each time. Vaping too much CBD can cause you to feel lightheaded or nauseous, so don’t overdo it.

The CBD vapes we offer are all disposable, so there’s no need to worry about refilling or battery maintenance. Each one has about 333mg of CBD with over 600 puffs, meaning each hit will deliver about 0.55mg of CBD.
