Perhaps you’ve noticed that more vape companies are selling CBD products – everything from vape juices to pet treats.
CBD is a natural, legal compound extracted from the hemp plant. It is known to alleviate many ailments.
Although hemp is part of the cannabis species, CBD contains less than .03% THC, so it cannot get you high! Many products have zero THC. CBD does not contain any nicotine.
I think the growing popularity of CBD is great, in fact, I’ve been using CBD e-juices and gummies for over a year now.
I do find it ironic; however, that CBD may be great for calming the nerves, but you can get downright exasperated just trying to figure out how much you need to take.
That’s because dosages and strengths per serving are rarely listed on the labels or on the product’s online webpage.
I decided to put together a list of quality CBD products that give you the recommended dosages. What is a “quality” CBD product? It means the manufacturer uses a third-party lab to test their products for purity and ingredient percentages. The best companies include links to those reports on their websites.

Why Don’t We See Dosages for Most CBD Products?
Although the FDA as evaluated hemp derived CBD as GRAS (generally recognized as safe), products have not been fully regulated.
To date, CBD product sellers are not required to list dosages. They do recommend that you consult with your doctor before taking a CBD product. The main reason for this is that any supplement, (even vitamins) may interact with medications you are taking.
Also, everybody’s body size and biochemistry is different. Some people will need a lower dose of CBD, others will need a higher dose to receive the same therapeutic effects.
For those who choose not to visit their health care practitioner, CBD sellers recommend you start out with the lowest potency.
That may sound pretty straightforward, but even if you buy your CBD product in the lowest strength, you still don’t know how many drops to use, or how many puffs to take, or how long you can expect to wait before you feel the effects of the CBD.
Most people want a more detailed guideline on dosages.
Common Questions Asked About Taking CBD
- How much CBD is in a single serving?
- What is the amount of a single serving?
- How many CBD drops should I vape or put under my tongue?
- How many pieces of CBD edible products should I eat?
- How many times a day can I take CBD?
- How many milligrams (ml) are in a full dropper?
That said, there are CBD products that do list the answers to many of those questions.
Here is a List of the Highest Rated CBD Products, Listed by Category. The Packaging or Product Page Lists Suggested Dosages.

CBD Edibles
1 – CBDfx Gummy Varieties
CBDfx is serious about making your CBD experience a rewarding one. When it comes to gummies, I’ve learned that they are second to none, when it comes to quality and variety. I’ve featured just a few gummy products on this post, but there are currently 15 in all.
– About the Sleep with Melatonin Gummies:
This high-potency sleep aid contains either 1500MG, or 3000MG CBD, depending on your needs. It also has calming chamomile lemon balm, magnesium, and a proprietary blend of natural sleep terpenes. You can also choose from 2.5 or 5mg of melatonin per serving.
– About the Sampler Bundle:
The CBDfx Gummies Sampler comes with 7 varieties of CBD, and there are 8 gummies in each bag. This cost-saving bundle lets you test out each variety, to see what works best foryour individual needs.
– About the CBDfx THC Gummies:
Each gummy contains 25mg CBD and 5mg THC. This is a legally compliant level of delta-9 THC. Each lemon/ginger flavored gummy also contains 3mg melatonin for restful sleep. Because there is a small amount of THC, it’s recommended that you should start with a low dose, (half of 1 gummy). You should NOT take, if driving, operating heavy machinery or if alertness is needed.
Can You Take Too Much CBD?
CBD is safe to use and there has never been any report of toxicity, or an overdose.
Keep in mind; however, that higher strengths of CBD are more expensive than lower ones, so it can be more economical to start out with a 150mg bottle of CBD vape juice instead of a 600mg strength.
Also, many people find that it doesn’t take a lot to feel the positive effects of CBD.
Are There Any General CBD Dosage Recommendations?
You’ll find suggested doses for CBD all over the web. That said, the Mayo Clinic has a long list of CBD dosages for many ailments. For example, they say you can take 2.5-20mg CBD orally for chronic pain, and 40mg-160mg CBD orally for anxiety and sleep disorders.
Remember, your body size and biochemistry will determine the effectiveness of each dose.
Conclusion:
CBD, (short for cannabidiol) is a natural compound found in the cannabis species of plants. Although it has not been classified by the FDA as a drug or medicine, CBD has been used for thousands of years to treat many ailments, including pain, insomnia, anxiety and skin problems.
CBD products that are derived from the hemp plant are legal in all 50 United States. They may contain trace elements of THC, but there’s no way they can get you high.
There are many products available, from vape juices, to edibles, to creams and lotions.
You can purchase CBD in selected strengths, but specific dosages are not always listed on the manufacturers’ packaging or website.
Our recommended list of CBD products all have instructions for use on the packaging, or on the recommended seller’s website.
