CBD Oil Dosage – Tips, Examples and Recommendations
By Vapor Spirit Fachteam

More and more people in Switzerland are using CBD oil as part of their
daily routine. But one of the most common questions is:
How do you dose CBD oil correctly? Since every body reacts differently, there is no
universal answer. In this article, you will learn the most important basics, tips
and methods for finding the right dosage for you – including the
special features of Vaporspirit CBD oil.
Why the right dosage matters
According to current knowledge, CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system. This system
is involved in numerous processes such as sleep, mood and
stress responses. If you use CBD oil, you should choose the amount consciously – which is why the
right dosage is important.
A dosage that is too low may have hardly noticeable effects, while an amount that is too high
may cause unwanted tiredness or drowsiness. The goal is
to find your individual balance.
Basic rules for taking CBD oil
Start slowly
Start with a low dosage, e.g. 2–3 drops of a 5 % CBD oil in the evening.
Increase gradually
Increase the amount after a few days if you do not feel a clear effect. This way, you can find out which dose is ideal for you.
Consider body weight and needs
People with a higher body weight often use a little more cannabidiol
than others.
Regularity is decisive
Cannabidiol is usually taken regularly over several days to find the right amount.
Practical dosage examples
- Beginners: 2–4 drops of a 5 % CBD oil in the evening.
- Medium dosage: 3–5 drops of a 10 % oil, split between morning and evening.
- Experienced users: 4–6 drops of a 15–20 % CBD oil, depending on individual needs.
👉 Important: these are guideline values. Every organism reacts differently. Listen to your body and adjust the amount.
Special notes on use
- CBD oil for dogs: animals need a specially adapted dosage. The rule here is: always start slowly and adjust the drops to the dog's weight.
- Side effects: hemp is generally well tolerated, but at very high dosages it can cause tiredness or a dry mouth.
- Combination with THC: hemp oils in Switzerland may contain up to 1 % THC – a legal amount that does not intoxicate but can enhance the entourage effect.
CBD oil dosage by body weight
The right CBD oil dosage is individual and depends, among other things, on body weight, CBD concentration and your personal purpose of use. Since everyone reacts differently to cannabidiol, there is no universally valid dosage. The following table offers practical guidance for adults and makes it easier to get started.
Tip: start with a low dosage and increase it slowly. This approach is often recommended according to the principle “start low, go slow”.
CBD oil dosage table
body weight | 5 % CBD oil (drops) | 10 % CBD oil (drops) | 20 % CBD oil (drops) |
50–59 kg | 3 | 2 | 1 |
60–69 kg | 4 | 2 | 1 |
70–79 kg | 5 | 3 | 2 |
80–89 kg | 6 | 3 | 2 |
90–99 kg | 7 | 4 | 2 |
from 100 kg | 8 | 4 | 3 |
How to find your suitable CBD dosage
The table serves as guidance for getting started. Observe how your body reacts to CBD and adjust the dosage gradually if needed. Many users start with a small amount and increase it slowly until they have found the dosage that suits them individually.
Which CBD oil strength is the right one?
- 5 % CBD oil: ideal for beginners and people with a low CBD requirement.
- 10 % CBD oil: the most popular concentration for daily use.
- 20 % CBD oil: suitable for experienced users or when a higher amount of CBD is to be reached with fewer drops.
Why does body weight play a role?
With increasing body weight, a somewhat higher amount of CBD is often used. However, body weight is only one of several factors. Metabolism, individual sensitivity, the concentration of the CBD oil and the intended area of use can also influence the optimal dosage.
Frequently asked questions about CBD oil dosage
Should I take CBD oil in the morning or in the evening?
CBD oil can be used in the morning, in the evening or split into two doses per day. What matters is regular use.
Can I increase the dosage?
Yes. If the chosen amount does not seem right for you, you can increase the dosage slowly. Make changes gradually and observe how your body reacts over several days.
Is more CBD automatically better?
No. A higher dosage does not necessarily lead to a better result. Often, a lower amount taken regularly is already sufficient.

Using CBD oil correctly: a guide to dosage
The use of CBD oil is becoming increasingly popular, but many
newcomers face the question of the correct dosage of CBD products.
Unlike substances with an intoxicating effect, CBD is not
psychoactive, which is a great advantage for everyday use. Nevertheless,
it is decisive to find the dosage that is optimal for you personally in order to
achieve the desired effect. This text is intended as guidance and
explains the most important factors, in particular the concentration of CBD content.
The key to success lies in understanding the concentration. Every bottle of
CBD oil contains a certain amount of cannabidiol, which is usually stated in
milligrams (mg) on the packaging. A CBD oil with 10 %
concentration, for example, contains 1000 mg CBD in 10 ml of carrier oil. To
calculate the actual amount per serving, you need to determine the mg of CBD per drop.
With a standard bottle of 10 ml and about 200 drops in total,
one drop of a 10% oil therefore contains roughly 5 mg CBD. This calculation
is the first and most important step towards conscious use.
Taking CBD oil drops ideally starts with a low dose.
Experts and doctors advise approaching the amount that suits you
slowly. A good starting point can be one to two drops of a medium-strength
oil two to three times a day. This corresponds to a total daily dose of perhaps
15-25 mg CBD. This way, the body can react to the substance calmly. After about
one week, the dose can, if necessary, be carefully increased by one more drop per
intake. This approach is called "titration" and helps
to find your individual threshold without overburdening the body.
The optimal dosage is highly individual and is influenced by various factors.
influenced. These include body weight, metabolism, individual
sensitivity and personal body chemistry. What is perfect for one person
can be too little or too much for another. An athlete with a higher
body weight will tend to need a higher dose than a lighter person.
Keeping a diary in which you record dose and how you feel can
help to recognise patterns and identify your personal optimal dosage
more quickly.

In summary, patience and careful observation are the best
guides when using CBD oil. Always start with a low
dose and pay close attention to your body's signals. The concentration of
CBD content in the product is your reference value for calculating the mg of CBD per drop
and controlling your intake precisely. With this systematic
approach, you will reliably find the perfect amount for you and can use the benefits
of a CBD oil fully and safely for your well-being, without any
worry about an intoxicating effect.
Even when taking higher doses of a high-quality CBD oil, you do not
need to fear an intoxicating effect, thanks to its non-psychoactive properties.
