the best way to take your cbd: a beginner's guide
as easy as 1, 2, 3…in just three steps, you’ll be ready to start incorporating cbd into your self-care ritual. this beginner’s guide to taking cbd will walk you through all the basics so you feel confident and maybe soon consider yourself an advanced cbd-user.
consumables or topicals?
there are two ways to take cbd - consume it internally or apply it externally. maybe in the year 3021, there will be other ways, but for now, that’s all we’ve got. with topical cbd, the objective is clear, apply it directly on your body as instructed (i.e. put chapstick on your lips or face moisturizer on your face) or to the area in pain (i.e. for cbd pain patches, freeze gels, etc). for the sake of this lesson, we’re going to elaborate on the best way to take consumable cbd.
step one: confirm the milligrams (mg) of cbd per serving
there are quite a few kinds of consumable cbd - gummies, vapes, oils, capsules, and powders. the first step to figuring out the best way to take your cbd is to learn about the cbd you bought. knowing this information can help you dose your cbd properly.
breeze’s cbd vapes
you’re looking to confirm how many milligrams of cbd per puff in your cbd vape. in our cbd vapes, you’ll get approximately 1-2 mg of cbd per 6-second puff and the entire pen has 300 mg of cbd.
breeze’s cbd gummies
now you’re looking for the milligrams of cbd per gummy. our gummies have 10 mg of cbd per gummy.
step two: decide how you want to dose
there is no one-size-fits-all dosing method (sorry!). we recommend starting low and slow and then gradually increasing the dose for your desired effect. tip: start the low & slow process again if you switch to a new brand or type of cbd because, remember, not all cbd is created equal, read more here!
factors such as weight, severity of the condition you are treating, potency of the product your using, and your unique body chemistry all play a role in how cbd interacts with you. as a rule of thumb, always stick to less than 70 mg of cbd a day, but your cbd intake may vary day to day depending on your desired use. to get you started somewhere, try the cbd dosage calculator below.
step three: establish your cbd routine
establishing a routine with your cbd is super crucial if you want to see long-lasting results. definitely try taking your cbd at the same time every day. you may have to “top off” your dose at different points of the day and try to keep that consistent as well. here are a few ways the breeze team loves to incorporate cbd into their daily routine that could help inspire you:
take a focus cbd gummy with your morning coffee or tea
take an immunity cbd gummy with your daily supplement regimen
use the cbd vape after your daily workout
take a sleep cbd gummy before brushing your teeth at night
use the cbd vape an hour before you get into bed
& so many more!
