How to Start Using CBD | Dr. Josh Axe

CBD Oil Dosage Guidelines:
1. There is no official serving size for CBD — Everyone reacts differently to cannabinoids, so you need to determine what dose works best for you.
2. Less is more — Taking more CBD than you need may actually be less effective. This is why starting with a lower dose and working your way up slowly can be beneficial.
3. Use it daily — To fully experience the positive effects of CBD, it’s best to use it consistently. You can take one standard dose 1–3 times daily or according to directions and/or your healthcare professional.
4. Determine the dosage for you — To do that, follow these steps:
a. Know your goals — establish what you are trying to achieve with CBD oil.
b. Give it time — start with the lowest recommended dosage for your goals and weight. If you don’t notice positive effects within 3–7 days, increase your dose by 1–5 milligrams (or as indicated by your health professional). Repeat this step until you find your personal optimal dose (not to exceed recommended amounts).

After many failed experiments with some other brands, I finally found this brand. Weedborn products are the best and I don't think I would ever need to look for another CBD supplier. I highly recommend for practically any health problem.

Exactly WHAT great benefits? Seen a lot of videos and they all talk about all these great benefits but I have yet to see one that explains WHAT the great benefits are.

[kidney]

Dr.Axe videos on CBD are always the best, a lot to learn here!

Has anybody else experienced weight gain while using CBD products? I started using it a while back and I was just like eating one piece of chocolate here and there I have chronic pain so I'm on pain meds all the time I also have anxiety disorders bipolar type 2 so a while back I was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress syndrome and agoraphobia. My son at the time was14 he went to a track meet and the pole vault mat caught wind and literally flew and hit my son and he got knocked out got a cracked skull behind his ear and for five to six hours I had no idea if my son was going to be okay because I wasn't there and they airlifted him to a hospital that is 2 hours from our house and I didn't know how far away it was from where he was and so for 6 hours I didn't know anyting and then I get to the hospital and my son's on a stretcher he's covered in the asphalt from the track and I didn't realize how much it affected me until I started to not want to go anywhere and i became very paranoid every time my son would leave the house I would have a total break down and finally got in to see my doctor and he was like you have agoraphobia, I asked agoraphobia from what and he's like post-traumatic stress you suffered post-traumatic stress when your son was hurt and never sought out help for that and so it spiraled into agoraphobia.. A doctor that I saw that was in the same office for a while he also told me I had agoraphobia but it was before that occurred have a long history of people hurting me and going through family breakup of sorts had to cut all my family out of my life and so that was pretty traumatic and I just have gone through a lot of stuff and when that happened with my son it was like a person would feel if they lost a child and when you feel that you never want to feel it again and so that fear kicks in every time he goes to school because I am afraid something bad is going to happen and so it's been a really big struggle. and so my husband said you need to try and find something to help you and marijuana is legal here and I'm like fine I'll try the Edibles because I don't like THC and I didn't want to be high but I needed to calm down but with all my anxiety disorders and bipolar a lot of times things don't work on me and if they do work on me it's because I have to take high doses. so I've been taking the CBD gummies for a while I was taken four a day and then I went down to three and with the weight gain I've been noticing and stuff I need to not take it to see if that is in fact what is causing my weight gain and I kind of have been on a little bit of a emotional rollercoaster and I'm wondering if anybody else has experienced anything like that with CBD.
