What to Know When Consuming Cannabis or CBD Daily
Solomon advises that you consider the following:
Don’t want to feel high on THC, but still want to reap the health and wellness benefits of the cannabis plant? Dr. Solomon says that he’s seeing more and more women and men who don’t want the psychoactivity, and are therefore turning to CBD products.
"The exact amount of CBD that should be ingested can vary from 25 mg several times a day to several hundred milligrams depending on what you’re looking for,” he says, adding, “It can sometimes take several weeks to feel the effect as you slowly increase your dosage.”
You don’t need to have an acute or chronic health issue to explore the benefits of cannabis or CBD. Personally, I found cannabis to be very effective in breaking a pain cycle and helping me sleep.
But on a regular basis, I’m most comfortable taking CBD as part of my own daily health routine.
Be aware of the concentration of THC or CBD you’re taking. Dosing is an individual process, so start at a low dose and slowly increase the amount.
Look up the laboratory testing results of what you’re buying. The product you purchase should have a label of components and be tested for purity as well as things like pesticides, bacteria and mold.
Try to find out the source of the hemp or cannabis if you can. Knowing where the product is coming from gives you a better idea of how it was produced and what you’re consuming.
