Introduction
CBD offers incredible wellness benefits — from better sleep to stress relief — but the most common question we hear is:
“How much CBD should I take?”
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but in this guide, we’ll show you exactly how to find your ideal dose, based on science, body weight, and product type.
🧪 How CBD Works in the Body
CBD interacts with your endocannabinoid system (ECS) — a network of receptors that helps regulate sleep, mood, pain, and inflammation. The right dose will support balance without causing drowsiness or side effects.
Key factors that affect your dose:
-
Body weight
-
Metabolism
-
CBD tolerance
-
Desired outcome (e.g., sleep vs anxiety relief)
-
Product type (oil, capsule, vape)
📊 Recommended CBD Dosage by Body Weight
| Body Weight | Mild Dose | Moderate Dose | Strong Dose |
|---|---|---|---|
| 45–60kg | 5–10mg | 10–20mg | 20–30mg+ |
| 60–80kg | 10–15mg | 15–25mg | 25–40mg+ |
| 80kg+ | 15–20mg | 20–30mg | 30–50mg+ |
✅ Always start low, monitor how you feel, and increase slowly.
🧴 How to Measure Different CBD Products
CBD Oil / Tincture
-
Check mg per 1ml dropper
-
Example: 600mg bottle = 20mg CBD per dropper
Capsules / Gummies
-
Pre-measured (usually 10–25mg each)
-
Start with one and assess over a few days
Vapes
-
Harder to dose exactly — start with 1–2 puffs, wait 10 mins
Topicals
-
Apply to skin as needed — no risk of overuse
💡 Tip: Use a journal to track dosage vs how you feel after 30–60 minutes and the next morning.
🕒 When Should You Take CBD?
| Goal | Timing |
|---|---|
| Sleep Support | 30–60 mins before bed |
| Stress/Anxiety | Morning or before stressful task |
| Pain Relief | Morning + evening (split dose) |
| Recovery/Inflammation | Post-workout or mid-day |
⚠️ Can You Take Too Much CBD?
CBD is considered very safe, even at higher doses, but taking too much may cause:
-
Drowsiness
-
Dry mouth
-
Upset stomach
Start with the lowest effective dose and increase slowly over a few days if needed.
