2 Welcome to CBD CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is quickly becoming a popular natural alternative to prescription and over-the-counter medication. However, as you may have noticed, there are some confusing and misleading products without accurate label information and effective doses. This beginner's guide will help you get started with CBD by answering common questions, finding effective products, and figuring out proper doses. You will discover: What CBD is, how it works, and why we believe that it's essential for our health How to start taking CBD and how you may feel How to find effective products by knowing the CBD concentration How much CBD to take The contents of this guide will shed an accurate light on CBD so you can feel comfortable and confident about CBD products. Ok, enough talk let's get started 2

3 Cannabinoids Basics Getting To Know CBD What is CBD? Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound and one of many cannabinoids found in cannabis plants, including marijuana and hemp. Throughout the human body there is a vast array of cannabinoid receptors that make up the Endocannabinoid system. This system works in many ways to keep our bodies healthy and remove diseases, including cancer. Your body produces its own cannabinoids, which means if you are concerned about putting CBD in your body, you already have cannabinoids working for your health and well-being. At times, it may be beneficial to supplement with extra CBD to strengthen your immune defense. How does CBD work? Cannabinoid receptors are found in the brain, organs, tissues, glands, and within the immune system. With physical pain from a new or existing condition, cannabinoids communicate with cells to remove pain sensation. The same effect occurs with emotions and mood stabilization. Cannabinoids can essentially act as a shield that blocks the connections in the brain that cause feelings of anxiety and depression. 3

4 Cannabinoids also may boost self-regulation throughout the body by causing tumors and cancer cells to destroy themselves, while strengthening normal cells to maintain good health. Why take CBD? Our body depends on cannabinoids for better health, so consuming naturally occurring cannabinoids can further aid in the treatment and possible cure for many ailments and conditions like pain, insomnia, fibromyalgia, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, inflammation, cancer, alzheimer's, muscle recovery, and much more.

5 There s nothing to be afraid of... Getting Started The most frequently asked questions are: How much do I take? How will I feel after after taking CBD? How long does it take to start feeling the effects? How will I know it's working? Will I get high? How long does it last? How will I feel after I take it? Many people assume CBD will create a high that is similar to smoking marijuana (i.e. THC) or drinking alcohol. This is not the case. Even though CBD is closely connected to marijuana, CBD does not make you high. Most people report their response to CBD provides a calmness to their mood. They generally feel peaceful and uplifted. Some people describe how their prescription anti-anxiety/antidepression medication makes them feel better, but at the cost of feeling disconnected with themselves. CBD allows people to feel connected, and to get back to a sense of well-being. Tranquility is the simplest way to describe the effect or feeling of CBD. Can you take too much or over-dose? 5

6 CBD is natural to the human body. Currently there is no reported concern over consuming large amounts. However you should not take more than a recommended dose. If taking more than needed, you might feel extra mellow or overly relaxed. How will CBD affect my anxiety? Imagine feeling anxious about an event this coming weekend, or that you're in a situation right now causing anxiety. Perhaps, something about the people or environment is causing stress or worry to build. In these moments, CBD can allow you to be mentally present, focused, and engaged but without the anxiety. The cause of your stress or worry might still be in your mind, but you, most likely, will not be so bothered by it. This is what makes CBD such a powerful tool for those who suffer with anxiety and depression. It can allow you to be in control of your emotions and to work through the cause of your anxiety without being consumed by it. How long will it take for CBD to start working, and how do I take it? CBD does not require a 2-6 week adjustment period like some prescription drugs. CBD is effective the first time it's taken. The timing of when CBD takes effect depends on many factors, such as delivery method, product quality, potency, concentration, your age, body weight, tolerance, gender, and dose size. The following list is an estimated time frame for when you might feel CBD beginning to take effect. Edibles: Oils / Tinctures: Smoke / vape: Dissolving strip: 45 minutes to 2 hours 30 minutes to 1 hour 5-15 minutes 5-15 minutes How long will it last? This is also based on the factors mentioned above. The effects of CBD, when taken as smoke and vape, generally last between 4-6 hours. Edibles, oils, and tinctures can last between 8-10, because they are slowly released into your body through the digestive system. What is the difference between hemp CBD and CBD from Cannabis (marijuana)? CBD is CBD no matter where it comes from. Products that contain CBD extracted from cannabis/marijuana may have small amounts of THC. Products that do contain THC are illegal in most states, which is why most CBD is derived from hemp. 6

7 How to tell the difference between products Differences between brands & products The deciding factor The single most important factor when choosing a CBD product is the potency of the concentrate. In other words, it is how much actual CBD you are getting per dose. If a product does not specify the amount of CBD milligrams, but rather the hemp extract milligrams, there is no way to determine or measure the amount of CBD milligrams being consumed. For this reason we strongly suggest avoiding products that do not provide the amount of CBD per bottle or serving on the label. If the amount of CBD milligrams per dose is low, then there may be little or no effect. Products with serving sizes that contain low amounts of CBD must be increased to a proper dose amount to cause the appropriate effect. What are the difference between products? The main differences are: Concentration Potency Milligram amount Serving size Bottle volume Ingredients Price When shopping for CBD, the concentration per dose should be the deciding factor. 7

8 Let's say you come across 2 products with the same amount of CBD in each bottle. If one bottle has 2 ounces and the other has 1 ounce, the amount of CBD in the 1 ounce bottle would be twice as potent as the 2 ounce bottle. This means you would need to take twice as much product from the 2oz bottle to achieve the same effect. Would you care for a spot of tea, or the whole cup? To illustrate the difference in concentrations, let's use 2 cups of tea as an example. Let's start by adding 8 ounces of water in one cup and 4 ounces of water in another. Placing one tea bag in each cup will create an equal potency of tea in both cups. However, because the 8 ounce cup has more water, the tea is less concentrated. Each sip would have less tea in it and therefore may taste watered down. Think of a CBD dose like a sip of tea. You want the dose that provides the highest medicinal value by having a high concentration. The higher the concentration per dose, the more likely you will be able to achieve the effect you desire. As you can see, products can have the same potency, but different concentrations or milligrams per serving/dose. It's important to pay attention to concentration because it will determine the effectiveness of your dose. Who's in charge here? Because the CBD hemp industry is not heavily regulated, there are no standards that brands follow for dose sizes, potencies, concentrations, volumes, and rates. 8

9 Due to the lack of standards, this causes confusion for consumers when comparing products and determining how much to take. When looking for CBD concentration you must look carefully or you could be tricked into purchasing a watered down product. Some labels won't provide the CBD potency per dose, because the main ingredient is something else. It can lead to someone receiving little or no effect per dose, and not achieve their desired response. They may mistakenly assume CBD does not work for them. Some brands simply make mistakes on their labels, while others rely on the ignorance of consumers. It's all smoke and mirrors! So, how can you tell if a CBD product label is actually providing correct information? One way to spot an honest brand is to make sure the label or website is indicating the number of actual CBD milligrams and not the milligrams of hemp oil, hemp extract, cannabis oil, or hemp aerial plant parts. staring you right in the face! If it does not say CBD or Cannabinoid milligrams on the label, then the product may be providing false information intended to mislead consumers. 9

10 I feel good! Dosing DIY (Dosing It Yourself) A dose is the qualitative amount of an active ingredient taken for an intended effect. When it comes to medicine, we would naturally assume the recommended dose on a label or prescription is the correct dose size for our body. However the correct dosage of CBD is more personal. Because everyone is unique, and requires a serving size and rate that works specifically for them, each person has to figure out their own CBD dose size and rate to achieve the desired effect. Take 2 or maybe 12 and then call me in the morning. How much CBD do you take for pain versus anxiety, or for sleeping compared to fighting cancer? Because of varying factors, such as body weight, sex, age, etc., it is highly recommended that each person start with a small dose regardless of their condition or ailment. Dose Size: Body weight is the best place to start when considering a proper dose size/amount. 10

11 If you are between pounds (45-70kg) you can start with a 3-5mg dose. If you are between pounds (70-90kg) you can start with a 5-10mg dose. Start with a single dose in the first 24 hour period. Pay attention to how you feel. Are you relaxed? Has your anxiety or depression lessened? How is your mood? Are you feeling calm and at ease emotionally? When taking CBD for the first time, it is suggested to take it an hour or 2 before or during a situation where you would feel anxious. This should indicate if the dose was effective or not. This doesn't work. I don't feel anything! It is common for people to take CBD and conclude that CBD does not work for them, when in reality, the dose size or potency may have been too low. If so, you can double your dose size the following day. Let's say you took a dose of 5mg of CBD on your first day, and did not feel any difference. The next day you take 10mg, and notice you remained calm in a stressful situation where you normally would have felt panicky or worried. I feel great, but did I take too much or is this enough? Continuing with our scenario above, you could maintain a 10mg dosage, or you could move up to 15mg and see how that feels. It is entirely up to you to determine the effect you desire. As mentioned before, CBD does not produce a euphoric feeling like alcohol or marijuana. A fight of all fights! Fighting cancer is just that a fight. For those who decide to take a natural approach and fight cancer with cannabis (THC), the may feel lethargic, high, and perhaps incapable of some daily activities. The following provides a starting point when taking CBD along with THC. This information is not to be taken as definitive, absolute, complete, or to be followed exactly. Because of the seriousness of cancer, no claims can be made for treating, curing, or eliminating any of its effects or symptoms. 11
