Dosage and Application

CBD for the CBD oil is extracted from hemp plants with a low THC content. According to the extraction method and the carrier substance, the quality can vary considerably. In contrast, CBD is extracted from THC-rich cannabis plants. which are grown and processed under strictly controlled conditions.

In comparison: commercial hemp offers between 4 and 5 per cent CBD and only small hints of THC. In contrast, specially bred medical cannabis plants can have a CBD content of 10 per cent or more. The THC content is also much higher, so that no freely available CBD oil can be produced from it.

In one study, patients with treatment-resistant epilepsy received pure CBD at a dose of 2-5mg/kg per day, which was dosed until intolerance or up to a maximum dose of up to 50 mg/kg per day to achieve a pharmacological effect.
Thus, a person with a body weight of 65 kilograms starts with a dose of 130-325mg of CBD, which is then slowly increased to a maximum dose of 3250mg per day.
Assuming a 10ml bottle of CBD oil with 1000mg yields about 200 drops, where one drop has about 2.2mg of CBD, you would need to take between 59 and 147 drops to reach the starting dose and about 1477 drops to reach the maximum dose. At the maximum dose, that would be about seven bottles of CBD oil a day.

Until now, there is no uniform dosage schedule let alone a guideline or similar, neither for pharmaceutical grade CBD nor for CBD oil. There are only several dosage recommendations, being the best known is the following dosage scale:

It can be assumed that this scheme was created for the dosage of CBD oil.. These quantities might be too low for medical use. In addition, it should be noted at this point that diseases such as arthritis, multiple sclerosis or epilepsy should not be treated with CBD oil without consulting a doctor.

Each person who decides to use CBD products in oil form needs time and patience to find their own personal dosage range. Beginners should start with 2 or 5 percent oils. and follow the manufacturer's instructions. As a general rule, manufacturers recommend a dose of one to three drops, so that you can first observe your own body and wait to see how it reacts. The effect can take 60 to 90 minutes, and the duration of the effect can be up to eight hours. If this does not work, the dose can be repeated the next day or increased to four or five drops. Still, the first thing to do is to wait and observe the body. If again there is no effect, it is possible to try the next higher percentage oil - of course with a low dose at the beginning.

In this way, users can approach your personal dose step by step.

The fact that the substance is of natural origin does not automatically mean that it can be taken safely and harmlessly. CBD can also cause side effects and interactions. In studies using high doses, the following side effects were observed:

• Drowsiness
• Dizziness
• Low blood pressure
• Dry mouth
• Headache
• Gastrointestinal problems

The fact is that the CBD is, by definition, a psychoactive substance.. Thus, the term psychoactive refers to a substance that acts on the central nervous system and influences certain brain functions. Although CBD does not have the same effects as THC, it can cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to receptors in the central nervous system. In a study, researchers found that a 400mg dose of CBD vaporised through a steamer led to a dissociated state.

Test subjects described a feeling of alienation from themselves, a sense of an unreal environment, and altered internal and external perceptions. In conclusion, the researchers state that medium and high doses can induce a kind of intoxication. when ingested, although the exact mechanisms are still unclear.

What does this mean in terms of the daily limit? In fact, there are still many unanswered questions.

Tip: For this reason, it is particularly important to handling CBD responsibly. Uncontrolled use may pose risks. For this reason, users They should closely observe their bodies and their reactions.

There is little consensus on the maximum daily amount. It should be noted that, although CBD is a natural substance, it should not be taken uncontrolled and without caution. Studies have shown that medium-high and high doses around 400 mg can impair cognition, although not to the same extent as THC. In addition, high doses are suspected to cause toxic liver damage. Therefore, users should always follow the manufacturer's dosage instructions or consult a doctor if necessary.

In scientific studies, CBD is used in pharmaceutical grade and in very high doses. Dosage is based on body weight. These schedules are not transferable to freely available CBD oils. Therefore, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's dosage guidelines.

Each manufacturer provides dosage guidelines for their products, which users should generally follow. For people who are new to CBD, the recommendation is to start with two to five percent CBD oil and a maximum of three drops. If this shows no effect, it is possible to slowly increase the dosage. The manufacturers also provide information on this.

Most CBD oil manufacturers indicate the CBD content in percentages. The conversion is straightforward:

However, it is the case that, for example, two drops of a 5% CBD oil contain approximately the same dose of CBD as one drop of a 10% oil.

Each person who decides to use CBD products in oil form needs time and patience to find their own personal dosage range. Beginners should start with 2 or 5 percent oils. and follow the manufacturer's instructions. As a general rule, manufacturers recommend a dose of one to three drops, so that you can first observe your own body and wait to see how it reacts.

The interaction of active substances and the effects on the human body are very complex. The research is only in its infancy, so so far there is no clear evidence on the mode of action with different diseases and symptoms no uniform dosage guidelines.

Basically, each individual reacts differently to substances administered to it. This also applies to phytocannabinoids and other ingredients in hemp. In this respect, the spectrum of effect depends on very individual factors. From experience it is known that, for example, three drops of CBD oil with 5 per cent already have an effect on one person and not on another. On the other hand, there are people who do not feel any effect after taking ten drops of a 20 percent oil. Others report positive experiences when taking two drops of a 10 percent oil. This alone demonstrates the difficulty of dosage.
