Each individual has a unique endocannabinoid system consisting of various types and quantities of receptors. Think of this as your “endocannabinoid fingerprint”. The ideal dose of this medicine will vary from person to person and you will need to adjust it to find your desired effect – your personal therapeutic dose. Use this as a guide to start:

Tincture (administer orally):

Start with ¼ dropper full if you are using the 3300mg tincture (½ for 1650mg and 1 dropper for 825mg), place under your tongue and hold it there for at least 90 seconds, preferably before going to sleep. You should begin to feel the effects within the first day of use. If you have not achieved your desired effect, increase your dose by ¼ dropper each day until you do. If you begin experiencing any unpleasant side-effects, decrease your dose until those side-effects cease.

Salve (apply topically):

Apply a small amount of salve to the area of skin affected by dry skin, an inflammatory skin condition, or underlying muscle or joint pain. Massage the salve into the affected area until it is absorbed. You will likely experience pain relief within a few minutes and it will last for several hours to a full day. To achieve optimal benefit for skin conditions, allow a minimum of 3 weeks of daily or twice daily use. Re-apply salve as often as needed for the desired effect. If you develop a rash or hives after use, stop using the product.
