Body Choosing the Right Form

• Capsules: Great for discretion and convenience with pre measured doses.
• Topicals: Ideal for localized relief shoulders, joints, or skin irritations.
• Edibles: Relaxing and tasty, though absorption takes longer.

 

Understanding Potency and Dosage

 

• Start low (10 to 15 mg CBD full spectrum) and increase by 5 to 10 mg weekly.
• Keep a journal of dose, timing, and your physical or emotional response.
• Peak effects appear around 45 to 90 minutes after dosing (tinctures are faster than edibles).

 

Maximizing Effects: Lifestyle + Routine

 

• Incorporate hemp oil into daily habits e.g., morning coffee, evening routine.
• Combine with wellness practices like stretching, mindfulness, or healthy sleep habits.
• Stay hydrated water helps cannabinoid absorption.

 

Common FAQs from Beginners

 

• High CBD = high? No CBD and full spectrum hemp shouldn’t cause intoxication.
• Is hemp oil legal? Yes as long as it contains under 0.3% THC (legal federally in the U.S.).
• Will it show on a drug test? Unlikely, but full spectrum products may contain trace THC. Choose THC free if this is a concern.
