High strength CBD is the name given to CBD products that contain a high concentration of CBD content. These products are meant for long time CBD users who have slowly built up their dose. If you’re brand new to CBD, high strength CBD is not the best place to start. This is because your endocannabinoid system needs to slowly wake up and react to CBD in the system, and too much at once could overload it. This can lead to adverse effects.

If you’re not new to CBD and feel you need a stronger product to suit your needs and preferences, high strength CBD could be a great path for you. At Simply CBD, we offer various types of high strength products. These include our Black and Platinum CBD Oils, our CBD SoftGels, and our high strength CBD Patches, to name a few.

When moving up to high strength products, make sure you do so gradually. This helps your system slowly adjust and avoids any risk of adverse effects. For example, if you’re taking our Red Oil (8%), it’s best to move up to our Black Oil (10%) next, rather than jumping straight up to our Platinum Oil (20%), which is our highest strength oil.

High strength products also often allow users to take less CBD throughout the day. For example, someone who has been taking CBD for a long time may use five drops three times per day. On high strength oils, they may only need two drops three times per day. With patches, someone who would typically change their 15mg patch after 12 hours may be able to wait the full 36 hours when using our high strength 30mg patches. If you’re unsure about how to build up and move towards high strength products, please reach out to us or the members of our community support group for guidance.

CBD comes with many misconceptions, most of which stem from its relationship with plants from the cannabis family. As CBD is extracted from hemp, which is a member of the cannabis plant family, it’s often associated with marijuana, a plant from the same family. Marijuana is an illegal street drug which causes a ‘high’ sensation, while hemp is legalised for industrial use and does not cause intoxication.

The word ‘high’ in high strength CBD also sometimes raises alarm bells among consumers. However there’s no need to worry, this is not clever marketing or an innuendo for drug use, it just means more CBD content. High strenth CBD products are incapable of causing a high in the same way as any other type of CBD product. This is because CBD is not the compound that causes the ‘high’ sensation in question.

In reality, THC, another well known cannabinoid, causes the ‘high’ that many consumers worry about. However, hemp is very low in THC content, and there are strict regulations surrounding THC levels in CBD products in the UK. Full spectrum products can contain no more than 0.2% THC, which is nowhere near enough to cause any intoxicating effects. Trace amounts allow THC to contribute to the entourage effect of full spectrum CBD without causing users to feel high at all. In fact, CBD users are allowed to drive, work, and carry out various other activities that an intoxicated person would not be permitted to do.

Marijuana is the type of cannabis plant that is high in THC and therefore is illegal due to its use as a recreational drug. Despite being from the same plant family, marijuana and hemp are completely different. It’s important to understand that marijuana has no relation whatsoever to legal CBD products.

As CBD continues to grow in popularity, more retailers and brands are beginning to sell it. This includes high strength CBD products. We always recommend shopping for CBD online rather than in a brick and mortar shop. This is because online retailers typically provide much more information about their products. For example, when shopping with us, you can access a full product description, value for money info, lab reports, and product reviews. In a shopping environment, you’d be forced to solely rely on the fine print on the label.

It’s extremly important to only shop with retailers that provide up to date lab results for their products. They should make this information available publicly, as hiding it away shows they have something they don’t want you to see. For example, some companies will only allow you to see their lab reports after you’ve made a purchase. Others simply don’t lab test at all. Both of these practices are major red flags and should deter you from shopping with brands who use them.

Reviews are another important factor in making the right choice when it comes to high strength CBD products. Those who use high strength CBD have likely been using other CBD products for a while and are therefore in a great position to accurately review the product itself and the brand that sells it. Try to identify common themes among the reviews and work out whether it’s mainly positive or negative feedback.

At Simply CBD, we provide public lab results and there are plenty of product reviews for you to look through before making your decision. We also provide info about the value for money of our products, including the price per mg of CBD. Our product descriptions are full of useful information that would be impossible to find on a tiny label in a shop. In addition, we offer multiple support channels to ensure you get the guidance you need on your CBD journey.

The answer to this question can vary depending on each individual’s ideal dose and typical use of CBD. For example, some users may only need around 20mg of CBD in a day. In this case, they should continue to take 20mg, as taking more than necessary can cause adverse side effects. However, as CBD usage is unique to each individual, some users require a higher dose of CBD. If this is the case for you, there are a couple of general guidelines to keep in mind.

When building up to your ideal dose with CBD high strength products, make sure that you do so gradually. Jumping to a very high strength product from a low strength option can overload your system and may cause unwanted effects. Increasing the amount of CBD you have in a day gradually allows your body to adjust naturally. As the amount of CBD each person needs varies between users, there’s no perfect amount that suits every individual.

In terms of safety guidelines, the FSA recommends that users take no more than 70mg of CBD per day. So, while you increase your dose when moving up to high strength CBD oil and other high dose products, you need to keep these guidelines in mind. If you use more than one product, you should ensure that your total dose across all products remains within the 70mg daily threshold. For example, if you take a 30mg SoftGel in the morning and want to use oils throughout the day, your total oil dose should be no more than 40mg.

When you first start out with CBD, the high strength options may seem tempting. This is because many people claim or assume that higher strength products produce faster, better results. However, this is a false claim. In reality, jumping straight into high strength CBD can cause the opposite of the effects you’re trying to achieve. This is because the high dose can overload your system, rather than giving it the time it needs to adjust.

CBD interacts with your endocannabinoid system, which works on a bell curve. Starting out with a high dose can cause you to immediately surpass the curve and enter the diminishing returns threshold. If you’re a beginner, you should start with a low dose that your body can slowly begin to recognise and respond to. The golden rule of starting your CBD journey is ‘start low and slowly grow’.

As you continue along your CBD journey, you can gradually increase your dose over time. This way, higher doses of CBD are much easier for your body to process and respond to. If you reach the point where you feel the need to move up to high strength CBD products, your body will be ready for them.

When you first start using CBD, it’s best to begin with a low strength product. Over time, you can slowly build up your dose. This may lead you to some of our medium strength products, depending on how your body responds. If you don’t feel your desired results from these options, or the effects have begun to diminish, it may be time to build up further. At this point you can begin taking high strength CBD products.

Once you reach the CBD high strength category, we still recommend taking a gradual approach. This is because the building up process is still necessary, and your body will need time to adjust to the higher doses. Avoid jumping from a medium strength product to our highest strength option. Instead, work your way through the options from lowest to highest strength. You may find that you don’t need the highest strength option, and this process allows you to work out what’s right for you.

The best way to find your ideal dose of CBD is to build up slowly. The building up process involves starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it over time. For example, with CBD oil products, we recommend that users start with a dose of one drop three times per day. This can then be increased per interval per week moving forward. For example, on week two, the dose would increase to two drops three times per day. Once you begin feeling the benefits of CBD, you should stop increasing your dose and be consistent with the amount you’re taking.

When you reach the point of wanting to move up to the CBD oil high strength category, this process still applies. Just because you’re taking a high strength product doesn’t mean you should disregard the golden rule of CBD - start low and slowly grow. In fact, the higher doses in high strength products mean it’s even more important to approach the process gradually. This method allows your body to adjust to the higher doses. Once you feel the benefits you’re looking for, you should stop increasing.

The golden rule applies to all CBD products, not just the oils. With gummies, for example, you can start with our lower dose option before moving up to the higher strength product. To make this process even more gradual, you can cut the gummies in half. This offers a bespoke dose that you can increase slowly over time as required. If you prefer SoftGels, start by taking one per day and only increase to two if you find it necessary to maintain your desired results. When using patches, start out with the 15mg option and allow your body to adjust to the transdermal CBD before moving up to the high strength patches.

A higher dose doesn’t necessarily mean better results. Taking more CBD than you need can actually cause the opposite of the effects you’re hoping for. Also, stronger products and higher doses can become costly, so it would be unnecessarily expensive to take more than you need to. However, you may find that low and medium strength options aren’t working for you. In this case, high strength CBD oil or another high strength option may be the best choice for your needs.

We understand that the building up process and using high strength CBD for the first time can be daunting. That’s why we have a knowledgeable and friendly team of Simply Experts who are always happy to help guide you through the process. Whether you need to know which high strength CBD oil drops you should choose or where our industrial hemp extracts come from, we’re here for you. There are no silly questions, whatever you need, we’ve got you covered.

You can reach out to our team via Live Chat or email and expect a helpful response in a timely manner. Our Simply Experts are available every Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm. If you send an email or Live Chat message outside of these times, our team will still get back to you as soon as they can. It’s always best to try to include as much relevant information as possible in your message. This helps our team provide a fully informed response without asking follow-up questions.

In addition to the support from our team here at Simply CBD, our lovely customers also run a community support group on Facebook. Joining this group gives you access to a community of over 48,000 CBD users. The members of this group, particularly the admins and moderators, are in a great position to provide advice. They can guide you with Simply CBD products as well as any general CBD enquiries. They’re long-time CBD users with plenty of firsthand experience to share.

The group is completely private, so anything you post will remain within the group.

Each CBD user’s journey is unique to them. Some users may benefit from combining multiple products. Others find that a singular product provides them with the results they’re looking for. Therefore, it’s completely safe to use more than one product, but the important question is whether it’s the right choice for you. It’s also crucial to keep general safety guidelines pertaining to daily CBD dosages in mind if you plan to begin using more than one product.

If you’ve already found a balance that works for you with your current chosen product, there’s no need to add more into the mix. However, if there’s a specific product that you’d like to try, you can incorporate it into your routine safely. For example, you may want to try out patches and already use vape liquids. In this case, you can pivot towards patches being your main dose and vape liquids serving as a top up. This way you can take the same dose that has been working for you, just in a different way. If you want to add another product to increase your daily dose, make sure to do this as gradually as possible. It's also best to avoid major changes in other parts of your routine. This helps your body adjust naturally to the new product.

In terms of safety guidelines, the FSA recommends that users take no more than 70mg of CBD per day. When introducing new products into your routine, it’s important to be mindful of this. For example, if you’d like to begin taking gummies in addition to oils, make sure your total dose for the day across both products does not exceed 70mg.

All legal CBD products are 100% safe, including high strength CBD oil drops and other types of high strength CBD. Cannabidiol is not addictive in any way as it causes no intoxicating effects. The CBD products we offer are completely natural and free from artificial additives. The cannabinoid extracts in our products are sourced from organic hemp plants. 

While high strength CBD itself is not inherently unsafe, some users may not benefit from using it. In fact, if you’re new to CBD or only require a low dose to achieve benefits, high strength CBD may cause adverse effects. Some users find that it can lead to the opposite effects of those that they were trying to achieve. To avoid this from occurring, make sure you take a gradual approach to CBD and only move up to high strength options when necessary. If you move up too soon and find that you’re feeling undesirable effects, try reducing your dose back down to your original levels.

If you’ve found a high strength product that works well for you, the best thing you can do is use it consistently. This helps you ensure that you continue to achieve your desired results. We know that it can be a pain to remember exactly when to order your next batch of CBD. That’s why we set up a subscription service for all of our products. You can have your favourite products arrive at your doorstep exactly when you need them. Better yet - you don’t even have to lift a finger.
