How Much CBD Should I Take?

Determining the right CBD dosage can feel overwhelming, especially with the vast array of products and individual factors to consider. Whether you’re a first-time user or someone looking to refine their routine, finding the ideal amount of CBD depends on your personal needs, body chemistry, and desired effects. This article will guide you through the essential factors to consider when deciding how much CBD to take, ensuring you can make informed decisions and maximize its benefits. By understanding the basics, you’ll be one step closer to tailoring your CBD use to fit your unique lifestyle.

What Are the Factors That Influence Dosing?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant compounds in the hemp and marijuana plants. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychotropic properties and won’t get you high.

Both hemp and marijuana plants belong to the cannabis sativa plant family, but each has unique properties.

All Federally Legal CBD products sold in the U.S. are from industrial hemp plants. The reason is that hemp is high in CBD and very low in THC. In Stirling’s case, our Product has 0% THC.

Inside all of us is something known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). Our bodies naturally produce endocannabinoids. Like endocannabinoids, cannabinoids bind with the receptors in the ECS and transmit information around the body. The ECS has receptors spread throughout the body, but they are most prevalent inside the immune and nervous systems.

It’s because CBD is such a relatively new product and research and studies are ongoing that it’s so hard to determine an exact amount of CBD people should take. What works for one person may not be suitable for another. However, what we can do is give you a close estimate of how much you should be taking.

Interestingly, current studies show people don’t build up tolerances to CBD like they do with many other substances. A study in 2011 found that there not only did people not develop a tolerance to CBD, but they also had to use less product over time. Currently, this is just a theory, and more research needs to be conducted to confirm the reverse tolerance properties of CBD.

Additionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) has published a study indicating there have been no instances of people overdosing by taking too much CBD. In effect, your body gets rid of any it does not use. This is not the same as THC. THC builds up in fatty tissue. The good news is that Stirling has 0% THC Guaranteed so you don’t have to worry about THC.
