I have found that I no longer need the recommended dosage. Have been using around4 months and it has helped with anxiety which is helping some with pain and I am pleased with using CBD thus far. The thing I find interesting is I am down to dosing by drops which is a positive thing as I am not building up a tolerance. My mood has improved and no ugly side effects. I no longer am taking it sublingually as I noticed a touch of irritability. Once I tried placing it on the top of my tongue and swallowing it the tingh of irritability did not take place. Could just be me🤪. May be helpful for someone else.
