How Much Is Too Much CBD and Can You Overdose From CBD?
Cannabidiol or CBD has been thriving in the natural holistic supplement scene for a while now. CBD has been marketed to have numerous therapeutic benefits such as pain relief, anti-inflammation, improves sleep, treat insomnia, improve digestion, regulate mood, reduce stress and anxiety and have anti-epilepsy properties. All of this has been backed with numerous scientific backing. But a growing concern among people that are new to CBD is whether CBD is safe or not? Yes definitely! A good CBD product should be organic and free from pesticides, heavy metals and microbial. CBD alone does not cause any intoxication as it does not have any psychoactive properties therefore it won't cause you to feel high. Some CBD products may include THC which is responsible for feeling "high" if used in high amounts. THC is a cannabinoid that carries psychoactive effects. CBD is non-addictive and there are no withdrawal symptoms.
Can you overdose from CBD or how much is too much CBD? What will happen if you take too much CBD? We will explore the matter today.
CBD is considered safe even when taken in high dosage. Studies have shown that humans can tolerate CBD even as high as 1,500 mg per day. This doesn't mean you need to use 1,500 mg. We really don't know yet what would be the effect if you exceed that amount.
Not everyone have the same level of tolerance. Not everyone can tolerate CBD in high amounts. It is best to always start low and slowly increase the dosage as you see appropriate. Treat CBD as an enhancer for your physical and mental health not not a substance to hurt you.
At Mellow Organic we always advise our customers to start with 0.25-0.50 ml especially if you are new to CBD.
There is still no definite guideline on how to use CBD. We can only give guidelines or make suggestions, but the dosage of CBD depends on: body weight, metabolism, tolerance, and the potency of the CBD product should which factors in on how much CBD you need.
