Don't stress
Read the back of the label as it should say how much CBD is in each dropper (in general one full dropper is 1 ml). You could also do some simple math to determine the amount of CBD in each dropper.
Here is an example for determining amount of CBD per dropper:
Take the total amount of CBD in the container and divide by the total amount of fluid in container (1000 mg of CBD / 30 ml = 33.33 mg of CBD per dropper)
Dosing as DavidHC has mentioned is different for every individual based on pain level. You need enough to reduce / eliminate the pain, but not so much that there is a lot of waste. If what you are giving to Alan is working so far, why change it.
Bioavailability is the amount of CBD that is actual absorbed and introduced into the body. Edibles have the lowest bioavailability with ranges from 4% - 20%. Sublingual (under tongue for two minutes) is much higher bioavailability with ranges from 20% - 35%.
Hope this helps

I take this amount also for bed at night.
I hope this dose is okay because no one seems to know exactly how much I'm giving him. I can't see the measurement on the dropper. I had an eye stroke and have no depth perception in my left eye. I get injections once a month.
Now here's my question about medical marijuana (if anyone knows, just educate me please). I got some samples of the medical edibles. It says 400mgs of THC on the upper left of the bagl. These are watermelon candies. The person said I could cut them in threes. But Alan needs a whole one when his neuropathy hits. So I am giving him a whole watermelon gummy thing. I don't have any more or I would tell you what the bag said. Alan does quite well on one whole piece. No side effects, no getting high, no nothing, it just takes all the burning out of the feet. Anyone else use medical edibles and how much do you use for neuropathy? I have no knowledge of this and am learning every day. Here's something interesting. I took a third of the candy at night for my arthritis pain. It did nothing and I never got to sleep. Alan is the opposite. He takes one piece and is out like a light in two minutes. I thought the THC in medical marijuana was supposed to give a person some kind of high? Oh, I have a question. How much is too much medical edible to give someone?
I was told one whole piece of the edible is just fine and that's what I now give him (when I had some I mean). Can a person ever take more (at one time I mean?? Thanks much if anyone can educate me on these questions.
Oh one more thing. I recently purchased some CBD edibles from the vape store around the corner. The bag says 1000 mg CBD edible. It contains ten pieces (gummy bears). I take it to mean that the whole bag is 1000 cdb and one piece of candy is 100 mg of cbd edible. Is that a lot? The vape store lady said I could cut it in half (it's not a big piece, believe me). So what am I giving Alan, 50 mg of cbd? Is this the same size as the one dropperful I give him at a time. Could I ever give him one whole piece of cbd edible which would be 100 mgs. Could I take one piece before bedtime? I really don't know anything about this. I really could use some good explanation about dosing?
Sincerely, Melody
