Introduction
“How much CBD should I take?”
It’s the most common question — and the most important.
Getting your dosage right can mean the difference between no results and life-changing relief.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to find the perfect CBD dosage for oils, capsules, and pastes, based on your body, goals, and experience level.
📊 General CBD Dosage Guidelines
Experience | Daily Dose | Best Format |
---|---|---|
Beginner | 10–20mg | Capsules or low-strength oil |
Intermediate | 20–40mg | Full-spectrum oil or paste |
Advanced | 40–60mg+ | CBD paste or high-strength oil |
💡 Always start low and increase slowly until you feel results.
🧴 CBD Oil Dosage
-
Measure in drops (usually 1ml = 20–25mg CBD)
-
Take under the tongue, hold 60 secs, then swallow
-
Start with half a dropper (10–15mg) once daily
-
Increase every few days until you feel consistent benefits
Best for: People needing flexible control, quick onset
💊 CBD Capsule Dosage
-
Pre-dosed (usually 10mg, 25mg, or 30mg per capsule)
-
Take with food or water
-
Start with 1 capsule daily, then move to 2x daily if needed
-
Great for routine use and no taste preference
Best for: Beginners, consistency, on-the-go
🧬 CBD Paste Dosage
-
Very potent: Start with a rice grain-sized amount
-
Place under tongue or mix into food
-
Increase dose every 3–5 days if needed
-
Ideal for chronic pain, stress, or sleep issues
Best for: Advanced users or those needing high strength
🧠 How to Track Your Ideal Dose
Use a CBD journal and log:
-
Dosage amount
-
Time of day
-
How you felt after 30 mins / next morning
-
Any side effects (drowsiness, too alert, etc.)
After 5–10 days, you’ll have clear insight into what works for your body.
❗ Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Starting too high
