The first time I tried CBD I had no clue really and just ordered a tincture and gummies... not knowing the proper dosage I should be taking, etc. It didn't work so I went back to pot. I then found a local distributor who is also a pharmacist who recommended a higher dosage tincture, 1800mg, and that worked. I took half a dropper under the tongue every morning, when my tolerance got higher I went to full dropper. Used this in order to ween of of antidepressants and it worked, been free for 2 years and I dont need the cbd anymore either. I also got these delicious candies called giraffe nuts that you can order online, 1 candy is 30mg and it gives a calming effect without high, first time made me a little sleepy but that's it. I understand it isn't a 1 size fits all but many of us go into these products not knowing proper dosing and then waste money bc they don't benefit from it. I hope this explanation helps someone else, only reason why I share. I've struggled for almost 15 years and now I am pharma fee and pretty much anxiety and depression free too. It is a mindset that has to start from within, Journaling helps a lot too.
