Do I Really Need The Strongest CBD Oil?

When taking CBD for the first time, many people will go ahead and get the CBD oil that contains the highest concentration of CBD. However, you may not need an extra strong CBD. Just because it’s labelled that way, it may not be as strong as you think.

You also may desensitize yourself to the effects of CBD by flooding your endocannabinoid system right off the bat with a strong dose. It can also be more expensive to take a higher concentrated CBD, but in truth, you may not really need to. 

Here are some things to ask yourself when purchasing CBD oil and how to find the dose of CBD that’s right for you:

How Do I Determine CBD Oil Strength?

There’s a simple formula to find out the exact strength of a CBD oil. Assuming the dropper is 1ml, just divide the amount of CBD in the bottle by the size of the bottle. This will give you the amount of CBD per dropper full, which is a full CBD dose. - You would want to divide the total amount of CBD in the bottle by the serving per bottle. 1500mg/30=50mg per dropper full.

Should I Take A Full Spectrum Oil or CBD Isolate?

There are pros and cons to taking high potency CBD and will be different for each individual person. High potency CBD oil can be more effective than regular therapeutic CBD oil for certain concerns such as pain, stress, insomnia or inflammation. Also, if you have a condition that is chronic, building up to a higher concentrated CBD oil may be beneficial and a more holistic approach for you.

However, there’s a possibility that through taking too much CBD, in high concentrations it has been known to have some effects on liver enzymes, which are responsible for metabolizing certain medications. So if you are on medications, speak to your physician before switching to a high potency CBD oil. Highly concentrated CBD oil can also desensitize your body to the effects of CBD.

Can You Take Too Much High Potency CBD Oil?

If you’re taking a higher dose of CBD, you may start thinking about whether you’re taking too much. There hasn’t been any reported cases of CBD overdoses, so there isn’t any real need to worry. In fact, one study showed that subjects were able to take up to 1500mg safely without any adverse effects. It’s also important to note that CBD is a non-addictive substance and does not cause withdrawal symptoms after you stop taking it.

Does High Potency CBD Have Any Interactions?

High potency CBD is generally safe, but sometimes there are interactions that can occur from certain medications. And since high potency CBD can affect liver enzyme activity, the absorption of some medications can also be affected. This is why it’s important to consult your doctor before taking any dose of CBD.

How Much CBD Oil Should I Take?

When doctors prescribe medication, they often start with a higher dose, then taper off to a lower dose or maintenance dose that works just as well as the original dose. This is called reverse tolerance or drug sensitization and parallels CBD oil practices. When first taking CBD oil, whether you’re taking a high potency oil or a regular oil, start on a lower dose then build up as needed. This method may also save you money in the long run and will make sure you’re reaping the most benefits from your CBD dose without desensitizing your system.

1. CBD Oil vs. CBD Vape Juice

CBD oil has become a popular delivery of CBD however it’s important to stress the difference between CBD oil and CBD vape juice. CBD oil is a hemp oil that is usually infused into MCT oil or coconut oil and is usually taken through a tincture. This oil is not safe for inhaling and can even lead to health complications like lipoid pneumonia. CBD vape pens on the other hand is most known for being safe to inhale and is the product you want when vaping CBD. It’s also important to note that not every oil tincture or dropper bottle is properly labelled. So when purchasing your vaping liquid, be sure to double check that the substance inside the e-juice style dropper bottles is in fact juice and not oil.

There are two types of CBD that are safe to vape:

CBD Vape Juice

You may find something called CBD vape oil. This vaping substance may be labelled as an “oil” but it actually doesn’t contain any oil, which is why it is known to be safe for vaping. A better name for this kind of product is CBD vape juice or CBD distillate. This type of “oil” is safe for ingesting orally as well as for inhaling. Common ingredients you’ll find in CBD vape juice are PG, VG, CBD extract, terpenes and cannabinoids. If your product contains anything other than these common ingredients, you may be dealing with something that’s unsuitable for inhalation.

CBD Cartridges

These cartridges are disposable tanks filled with CBD e-juice. They are compatible with a 510 battery and are known to be very easy to use. These products can also be called PODS which are compatible with the JUUL device.

2. Side effects of vaping CBD

Vaping is a relatively new technology so we know very little about possible side effects. However, there are a few findings. Research has shown that CBD vaping has shown cause mild drowsiness in some first time users and can subside with regular use. It was also found that vaping CBD can cause hunger, mild euphoria and red eyes.

3. THC content

No, CBD will not get you high. It doesn’t contain nearly enough THC to cause even a slight buzz. At only 0.3% THC, it’s safe to say that CBD, chemically, will not show any THC in a drug test.

4. Can you overdose on CBD?

The Americans for Safe Access stated at a conference in 2016 that, “To date, there has never been a single well documented case of human mortality attributable to an overdose of cannabis or its components, and no experimental or non-extrapolated LD50 can be attributed to a toxic or lethal overdose.” CBD has been known to be extremely low in toxicity. In fact, you would have to consume 100X the average dose of CBD (30mg) before you would be in any real danger.
