Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a cannabis compound found in large amounts within the hemp plant. It has been said to have significant medicinal benefits without any of the psychotropic effects of its sister THC. CBD is becoming widely available and if you want to take advantage of its beneficial properties you will need to learn about the different delivery systems and understand how to measure quantities to determine the right serving amount for you.

What does titration mean when taking CBD?

Titration is a way to limit potential side effects by taking time to see how your body will react. In titration, the “medication” is started at a low dose. Every couple of weeks, the dose is raised (“up-titrated”) until the maximum effective dose (“target dose”) has been achieved or side effects occur.

Start Low And Go Slow

“Start low and go slow” is the mantra for titrating a new patient’s dosage while staying consistent. And the best way to do this is through micro-dosing. Micro-dosing is taking only a small amount of CBD in order to test the effects on a patient’s body and the condition being treated. Once the effects are assessed and evaluated, the dosage can be increased slowly to find the desired amount for the desired effect on the condition.

Finding high-quality products that deliver consistent measurable amounts of CBD will make it easier to titrate and find your optimal serving amount and create a CBD schedule. Here at Proper Canna you can depend on us to be a provider who practices organic farming, uses state-of-the-art distilling to extract the cannabinoid compounds, and tests for quality and purity. Getting the proper information from a trusted source like Proper Canna is the first step. Understanding how to titrate your best serving size and schedule is the second step.

The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system is different in everyone. Some individuals have a more tolerant endocannabinoid system that responds only to high servings. Others will be more sensitive and react to low doses or their reactions may vary with the time of day or month. There is also a “biphasic response” that can occur with CBD. A “Biphasic response” means that you can have two separate and distinct responses that are separated in time. For example, the biphasic response when CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system in low amounts can increase concentration and alertness. But, when taken at higher levels can have an alternate effect. Increasing sedation and calm instead of focused and full of energy.

Discover What Is Best For You!

Because this is a process and there is no exact formula that works the same for everyone, you need to take it low and slow and pay attention to your body. Each individual needs to self-titrate and find their own personalized serving amount.
