CBD (Cannabidiol) is a chemical compound that comes from the hemp plant. It is one of over 85 unique compounds found in hemp, known as cannabinoids.

Cannabinoids, which can be either consumed (phytocannabinoids) or produced naturally by the body (endocannabinoid), are chemical compounds that interact with the body’s central regulatory system. This system is known to manage homeostasis and affect bodily processes such as appetite, mood and sleep.

CBD is an example of a phytocannabinoid. Although our bodies can naturally produce its own endocannabinoids that bind to cannabinoid receptors in both the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system, phytocannabinoids are known to help to kickstart our central regulatory system.

What’s The Right Dose?

How much CBD should you take? This question gets asked over and over, yet the answer is always the same – it is different for each person. There are several factors that need to be accounted for before thinking about how much CBD should take and how often.

Some of these factors include:

  • Weight
  • Tolerance
  • Metabolism
  • Condition
  • Severity
  • Diet

Estimate Your Dosage Based On Your Body Weight

As with most substances, individuals with more body mass will require more CBD to experience its effects. With that being said, a good rule of thumb to determine your proper CBD dosage is to take 1–6MG of CBD for every 10 pounds of body weight based on the individual’s level of pain.

For example, 18MG-27MG would be a great starting dosage for a 200 lb patient, while 12MG-18MG would be best for another who weighs 150 lb

Calculating Drops: CBD

This chart provides dosing instruction in milligrams, based on the weight of the patient.  As mentioned, weight is only one of several important considerations when determining dose.  Your actual dose should account for your condition, severity, and metabolism most of all beyond your weight. CBD actually has different effects at higher doses, (biphasic) so if you’re not achieving the desired result at first, know that starting small and then increasing your dose steadily, as needed, until you reach your desired effect is usually encouraged.  In some cases of severe illness, shock therapy using extremely high doses of CBD and /or THC may be appropriate, so always follow the prescription of a doctor for your best results.

Different CBD products will have different strengths and potencies: luckily, figuring out how many drops yield how much CBD isn’t rocket science.

First, find the serving size for your CBD oil.  This means finding how many drops contains how much CBD.  Typically, product packaging will have this information.

Next, find the milligrams of CBD that the serving size contains.

Once you have that information, find your recommended dose according to weight.  Make any necessary adjustments upward based on medical advice or associated considerations of dosing.
Lastly, do the math.

For example, if your bottle is 1 oz bottle or 30ml of 1000mg of CBD, One full dropper is 1ml. You take the mg’s divided by the size of the bottle. So 1000 / 30= 33mg in one dropper.

Of course, it’s always a good idea to consult with a qualified physician before consuming CBD products.
