Dosing Basics

ground
rules

There is no one size fits all

Determining the right type and amount of CBD will be unique for you.

Everybody processes CBD differently

Based on key factors like age, weight, and diet.

The "right" dose of CBD can vary

Based on the need you are trying to address, and whether your condition is mild or severe.

how-to
dose

Start low, go slow

Start with a base dose, stick with it for up to 7 days and then increase 1-2mg a day until you find your sweet spot.

Find your Goldilocks Zone

Studies show that once you find the optimal dose, increasing that dose can sometimes make CBD less effective.

Be consistent

Using CBD daily (or at least regularly) is the best way to see results.

When in doubt, ask your doctor

It’s best to talk to your doctor about how CBD interacts with your current routine (daily meds, vitamins, etc.).

microdosing
cheat sheet

(Microdosing = small amount of CBD, multiple times a day)

Start with a small dose	2 - 5mg	Up to 3x / day	Maintain for 2-3 days (up to 7 days)
Increase dose, if necessary	4-10mg	Up to 3x / day	Maintain for 2-3 days
Increase dose, if necessary	8-20mg	Up to 3x / day	Maintain for 2-3 days
Increase dose, if necessary	16-40mg	Up to 3x / day	Maintain for 2-3 days

Use microdosing to tap into how very specific doses of CBD make you feel and understand the effects of a larger cumulative dose at the end of the day. Microdosing believers find that using less CBD can often be more effective.

standard dosing
cheat sheet

(Standard dosing = a single amount of CBD per day)

Symptom intensity	31 - 60 lbs	60 - 100 lbs	100 - 175 lbs	175 - 200 lbs
1	2 - 4mg +	4 - 6mg +	6 - 8mg +	8 - 10mg +
2	4 - 8mg +	6 - 12mg +	8 - 18mg +	12 - 20mg +
3	8 - 12mg +	12 - 18mg +	18 - 24mg +	22 - 30mg +
4	12 - 18mg +	18 - 24mg +	24 - 32mg +	32 - 40mg +
5	18 - 30mg +	24 - 40mg +	32 - 60mg +	42 - 60mg +

Some guidelines to help you understand how much CBD is right for you. Try to stick with a daily dose for about 7 days before making tweaks, again, more CBD is not always better.

Delivery Format

the quick and dirty guide

No clue how to start using CBD? We get it, we were lost too.

Before we dive into what delivery format is best for you, we should probably make sure you undertand the basics.

Let's start with some pretty sexy definitions. Science is cool, trust us.

Glossary Terms

delivery format	How to take CBD: topicals, edibles, tinctures, vapes, etc.
time to onset	How quickly you will start to feel the effects.
bioavailability	How quickly & effectively a substance is absorbed into the bloodstream.
duration of effects	How long the effects will last.
pre-dosed	The product has a fixed amount of CBD in it, per serving. No need to measure
discretion	Easy to conceal (unless, of course, you want to show off to your friends).

Now on to the fun stuff...

Below is a quick and dirty guide to understanding all CBD delivery formats, and why we love each.

FORMAT	EXAMPLES	HOW IT WORKS	BIO-AVAILABILITY (ESTIMATE)	TIME TO ONSET	DURATION	PRE-DOSED?	DISCREET?
Sublingual	oils tinctures lozenges sprays	direct & fast Best-selling format, works in any situation! Sublinguals enter through the glands under the tongue, take effect quickly, and deliver a high concentration of CBD into the bloodstream. BAM!	12-35%	5 - 20 mins	2 - 4 hrs	no	no
Oral	edibles capsules beverages oils	subtle & balanced Great for beginners who want less intensity and may be sensitive to taste and/or smell Processed through the metabolism, slowly delivering a lower concentration of CBD to the bloodstream. Effects take longer to kick in, but also last longer.	4-20%	30 - 60 mins	4 - 6 hrs	yes	yes
Topical	lotions salves creams serums	localized relief Great for workout recovery, muscle pain, or those dreaded menstrual cramps. Products are absorbed by the skin but do NOT enter the bloodstream. BONUS, you don't have to worry about does; slather away!	n/a	varies	varies	no	yes
Transdermal	patches	steady and controlled. Try patches for sleep, muscle pain and travel. Perfect for fellow control freaks. Transdermals penetrate the skin, go directly into the bloodstream and last longer than most other formats	80 - 100%	20 - 60 mins	6 - 8 hrs	yes	yes
Vape	pens	fastest and most effective For anyone who wants low maintenance, quick relief. Vape inhalation may feel off-putting to some, but it can provide near immediate relief, it's mess-free, and has no bad aftertaste.	30 - 50%	Immediate	45 mins - 1hr	no	no

Le CBD Type

full spectrum, broad spectrum, isolate - what is the difference?

	Full Spectrum	Broad Spectrum	Isolate
What Is It?	The Whole Plant Cannabis Extract with all cannabinoids, including trace amounts of THC. Has essential vitamins, minerals, Omega fatty acids + terpenes.	The Whole Plant Minus The THC A whole plant extract where the THC has been removed OR a CBD isolate that's had other cannabinoids (minus THC) added back to it.	Just CBD Purified CBD processed to remove all other cannabinoids, oils, plant material, waxes, & chlorophyll.
Why We Like It?	"The Entourage Effect" Believers think Full Spectrum CBD provides greater relief than isolate due to the combined benefits of the cannabinoids, terpenes and other beneficial plant materials.	Entourage Benefits without THC Broad spectrum still delivers an entourage effect by using multiple parts of the plant, but is completely free of THC.	"Cleanest" Form of CBD Isolates are completely free of THC and contaminants have controlled and standardized potencies, and have no taste or smell.
Use For	Major Relief We use full spectrum CBD when we want to give our bods the most holistic solution for relief	Relief With No Fear Broad spectrum is great for those who want the benefits of the entourage effect, but want no part of THC	"Skincare and Edibles" Isolates are often found in skincare products, where taste and smell are important.
