Why CBD Dosing Is Individual
Your ideal CBD dose depends on many factors:
- Body weight – Larger bodies generally need more
- Metabolism – Affects how quickly you process CBD
- Condition being treated – Different issues need different doses
- CBD product type – Bioavailability varies by method
- Individual chemistry – Everyone responds differently
General CBD Dosing Guidelines
By Body Weight
- Under 130 lbs: 10-20mg low / 20-35mg medium / 35-50mg high
- 130-230 lbs: 15-25mg low / 25-50mg medium / 50-75mg high
- Over 230 lbs: 20-35mg low / 35-65mg medium / 65-100mg+ high
By Condition
- General wellness: 10-25mg daily
- Mild anxiety/stress: 15-30mg daily
- Moderate anxiety: 25-50mg daily
- Sleep issues: 25-75mg before bed
- Chronic pain: 50-100mg+ daily
- Severe conditions: 100-300mg+ daily (with medical guidance)
The "Start Low, Go Slow" Method
- Start with 10-15mg daily for the first week
- Assess effects – Note any benefits or side effects
- Increase by 5-10mg if needed after one week
- Continue increasing until you find relief
- Once effective, maintain that dose
Bioavailability by Method
How much CBD actually reaches your bloodstream:
- Inhalation (vape): 30-50% – Fastest, most efficient
- Sublingual (oil): 20-35% – Fast, effective
- Oral (gummies, capsules): 10-20% – Slower, longer-lasting
- Topical: Local effects only – Doesn't enter bloodstream
Adjust your dose based on method. You may need more mg with oral products vs sublingual.
When to Take CBD
- For sleep: 30-60 minutes before bed
- For anxiety: Daily, with extra as-needed doses
- For pain: Multiple times daily, spaced 4-6 hours
