CBD Crystals - What They Are And How To Use Them
What are CBD crystals?
CBD crystals are the purest and cleanest form of CBD extraction from the cannabis plant. CBD crystals reach a purity level of> 99% and contain only a small trace of all other cannabinoids. This product can reach its purity thanks to the different extraction methods, being the most used process known as CO2 extraction.
In the CO2 extraction process, all components of the cannabis plant are filtered, resulting in a form of powdery crystals, similar to diamond-shaped sugar grains.
Most Commercially available products are created using CBD crystals.
Therefore, CBD crystals allow for numerous methods of use and various possibilities of CBD consumption.
How to dose the CBD crystals?
The CBD crystals are not toxic, so if you use more it will not be harmful. However, by using more of them, you may experience more relaxation than you were planning on and it may be an unnecessary waste of crystals / money. So, as with all products on the market, to find your ideal dose, you should always start with a smaller amount until you reach the point you want.
Although the dosage depends on many factors, such as weight, metabolism, among others, we recommend that you start with 5-25 mg per day. The recommended starting dose is 10 mg of crystals, divided into 2 dosages throughout the day, 5 mg each.
You can always measure the daily amount you want by eye; however, it is recommended to have an accurate scale to obtain the desired concentration.
The next step after the first dose is to pay attention to your body and the signs it indicates. The effects may be immediate or it may take up to 3 hours to manifest, depending on the method of consumption.
If you do not experience the desired effects with the dosage you used, we recommend that you increase the dosage by 2 -3 mg to reach the desired point. When you reach this point, keep this dosage every day for a week and you should always pay attention during this time to any signs your body is giving you. This will let you know how much your body needs and with this knowledge you can increase or decrease the concentration of CBD crystals, depending on your taste.
