CBD Dosing Guide

1

Start Low

Begin with the lowest suggested dose and see how your body responds before increasing.

2

Go Slow

Wait the full onset time before taking more. Edibles can take up to 2 hours to peak.

3

Track It

Note what you took, when, and how you felt. Adjust gradually over days, not hours.


Suggested Starting Dose


Gummies & Edibles

Onset

30 min – 2 hrs

Duration

4 – 8 hrs

Beginner

5 – 10 mg

Start with half a gummy. Wait at least 2 hours before taking more, edibles take the longest to kick in.

Intermediate

10 – 25 mg

1–2 gummies per serving. Consistent daily use helps you find your sweet spot.

Experienced

25 – 50 mg

For those with established tolerance. Higher doses produce stronger, longer-lasting effects.

Tinctures

Onset

15 – 45 min

Duration

4 – 6 hrs

Beginner

0.25 mL (¼ dropper)

Place under the tongue, hold 60 seconds, then swallow. Sublingual absorption is faster than edibles.

Intermediate

0.5 mL (½ dropper)

Half a dropper is a standard serving. Adjust up or down based on effects.

Experienced

1 mL (full dropper)

A full dropper for maximum per-serving potency. Consistent timing helps maintain steady levels.

Topicals

Onset

10 – 30 min

Duration

2 – 4 hrs

Beginner

Dime-sized amount

Apply a small amount directly to the area of discomfort. Massage in thoroughly.

Intermediate

Quarter-sized amount

Cover a larger area or apply a thicker layer for more targeted relief.

Experienced

Generous application

Reapply every 2–4 hours as needed. Topicals don't enter the bloodstream so there's no "high."

Vape Cartridges

Onset

1 – 5 min

Duration

1 – 3 hrs

Beginner

1 – 2 puffs

Take a small, short inhale. Wait 10–15 minutes to feel the full effect before taking more.

Intermediate

3 – 5 puffs

Standard session range. Low voltage (3.3V) preserves flavor; higher voltage increases vapor.

Experienced

5+ puffs

Longer sessions for established tolerance. Effects are felt almost immediately but fade faster than edibles.

Beverages & Infusers

Onset

10 – 30 min

Duration

3 – 6 hrs

Beginner

5 – 10 mg

Pour half an infuser into your drink. Nano-encapsulation means faster onset than traditional edibles.

Intermediate

10 – 25 mg

One full infuser or one THC soda. Effects are typically felt within 15–30 minutes.

Experienced

25 – 50 mg

Stack multiple infusers or pair with an edible. Nano products hit faster, respect the speed.


Body weight matters. Lighter individuals (under 150 lbs) may feel effects at lower doses. Start at the low end of the beginner range and adjust up.

Eat something first. Taking edibles or tinctures on an empty stomach can intensify effects. A light meal or snack helps create a smoother experience.

Tolerance builds over time. Regular users may need higher doses to feel the same effects. Consider a 2–3 day break if your usual dose feels weaker.

Don't mix with alcohol. Cannabinoids and alcohol can amplify each other's effects. Start with one or the other, especially if you're new.

Consistency is key. For CBD wellness routines, daily use at the same time helps maintain steady levels in your system for best results.

Check your medications. Cannabinoids can interact with certain prescriptions, especially blood thinners. Consult your doctor if you take daily medications.
