This is an important point too which I believe I've made on this thread, but it's worth emphasizing. oral rather than sublingual (or smoking/vaping) significantly reduces bioavailability. Thank you for making this point.

Bioavailability is the percentage 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%.

Dosing it different for everyone, but you should start with a much higher dose (IMHO) based on the items you mentioned. I would start with 25 - 50 mg's of CDB oil (Sublingual) three times a day for a couple of days and increase as needed

Let us know how it goes and best of luck to you
