Taking CBD Oil For The First Time

Feb 13, 2020CBD Oil For Beginners, Feature

Many of you are taking CBD oil for the first time. I was in your place not too long ago and know how you feel!

Being in the health industry for many years has made me very skeptical about product claims and the ability of supplements to make a difference. I am also very cautious about what I put into my body, never smoke or take cannabis in any other form (no judgment if you do, that’s just my preference), and I don’t intend to get high or alter my reality. Putting all of these things together, the whole experience of trying CBD foil for the first time was uncomfortable and unsettling for me.

So, don’t worry, you are not alone! Let me guide you through this journey step-by-step to take some of the pressure off.

“I tried it for the first time and my day passed normally… but at the end of the day I noticed one key difference: I realized I hadn’t been worrying about the little things throughout the day and was just overall more relaxed. That night, I also slept very peacefully – normally I toss and turn. Very impressed!”

Step 1: Buying CBD Oil For The First Time

First and foremost, make sure you get CBD oil from a trusted source. Find a company that YOU trust. I got referred to a company, by a friend, but struggled to find their products, hence why I started my own company. I am also a huge believer in customer reviews since any other statements made on the internet can easily be fake. In addition, all of ICARIA’s products are lab tested, proving that there is 0.00% THC content, giving you even greater peace of mind. And, let’s not forget that ICARIA is from Vancouver, BC!

Step 2: Figure Out How Much CBD Oil to Take For The First Time

Figuring out how much CBD oil to take the first time around can be intimidating. So, please, check out this blog post for more dosage information. However, let me assure you that it is safe and that you most likely end up taking too little than too much. The truth is, you won’t know how much CBD oil you will need until you give it a try.

You can also download a Dose Journal to help you figure out the perfect dosage for yourself.

Step 3: Know What to Expect Taking CBD Oil

CBD oil is just a supplement, so don’t expect to feel any new emotions or have an altered state of reality. I like to compare it to drinking a cup of coffee; it doesn’t change your perception of reality, but you KNOW when caffeine has kicked in. Some people need a sip, and other people need three cups to feel any effects. Coffee doesn’t alter your reality; it just makes you feel more alert. Of course, CBD works completely differently from coffee, but our point is that you can know when CBD oil is working for you.

You can read more about what to expect and what you will feel when taking CBD oil in one of our blogs!

“I had a very bad experience taking medication and therefore was hesitant to try CBD thinking it would be a similar experience. Well for the first time in years, I feel “normal”. I’m not crying every day, I don’t feel an impending sense of dread and hopelessness, I am able to deal with difficult situations… I can live my life.”

Step 4: Listen to Your Body

Everyone can have a slightly different experience because CBD brings your body back into balance. In other words, different people experience different things. Packages often say that you shouldn’t drive after taking CBD oil, but that is more of a precaution when taking it for the first time. Once you’ve tried CBD oil, you will see that there should be no concern about driving after taking it; neither are there any laws about taking pure CBD (without any THC in it) like the one in ICARIA’s products.
I have also personally experienced how CBD can have very different effects on different women. For example, I get really bad acne from eating dairy, and taking CBD oil doesn’t help if I continue to eat dairy. On the other hand, I have had customers who say that CBD oil has done wonders for their acne. This is most likely due to the reason that there would be a different root cause for the acne. The main point is, to listen to your body and stay open-minded, sometimes it can take some time to adjust before you feel the desired results.

Step 5: That’s it!

Now that you have tried CBD oil, there is nothing else to worry about. You can freely experiment with your dosage, timing, and other reasons to take it.
