Hemp derivatives are available in different forms, including oils, topicals, edibles, and smokables; each form may require a different dosage. In this post, we’ll discuss some guidelines to help you determine the appropriate dosage for your personal needs.

Factors that Affect Dosage

512 Hemp Dosage Guidelines

Dosage guidelines do not have a single “correct” dose for everyone. Instead, it’s recommended to start with a small dose and gradually increase it until you achieve the desired effects. Here are some guidelines to help you determine your starting dose:

Hemp Oil

If you’re using hemp oil, the recommended starting dose is typically between 10-20 mg. This might be equivalent to a single dropper of oil, taken once or twice a day. After a week, you can increase the dose gradually until you experience the desired effects. Remember to record your dosage and the effects to help you keep track of what works best for you.

Topicals

If you’re using topicals like hemp salve or hemp-infused cream, you can apply as much or as little as you’d like. These products aren’t absorbed into the bloodstream, so there’s little risk of taking too much. However, we recommend starting with a small amount and increasing gradually to find an appropriate dosage that works for you.

Edibles

Edibles, such as gummies or brownies, can be a convenient and enjoyable way to consume hemp derivatives. However, it's wise to be cautious when dosing edibles, as the effects can take one to two hours to set in and can be more intense and longer-lasting than other forms of hemp derivatives. When dosing edibles, we recommend following these steps:

1. Start with a low dose of around 5-10mg of hemp derivatives, especially if you're new to edibles.
2. Wait two hours before taking more to allow the effects to set in.
3. Increase your dosage gradually, by 5-10mg, as needed until you achieve the desired effects.
4. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before increasing your dosage to avoid any negative effects.

Remember, when consuming edibles, it's essential to follow the dosage guidelines on the package label, as the amount of hemp derivatives in each serving can vary widely between products.

Smokables

When consuming hemp derivatives using smokables, such as hemp flower or pre-rolls, it’s critical to be mindful of the dosage and method of consumption to avoid overconsumption and waste. Here are some tips.

• Hemp flower and pre-rolls with higher concentrations of hemp derivatives may result in stronger effects.
• Start with a small amount and gradually increase your dosage as needed.
• Monitor your dosage and the effects to help you determine the right dosage for you.
• Experiment with different consumption methods, such as pipe, bong, or vape pen to find your preferred dosage.

Please note that smoking or inhaling hemp derivatives might irritate your lungs, so we recommend moderation and if possible consult with a medical professional to ensure your health.

Conclusion

Finding the right dosage of hemp derivatives varies from one from individual to individual. Start with a small dose, record your effects, and slowly increase it based on what your body responds to.
