Many people feel a little apprehensive and unsure the first time that they take CBD gummies. This makes sense on one level. Cannabis has been illegal in the U.S. for a long time, and even though CBD does not make you feel high, it does come from hemp, which causes people to associate it with marijuana. The good news is that CBD is very safe. There are very few concerns or worries you need to have about taking it. Are there precautions you should take? Of course — but they are probably a lot simpler than you'd assume. Take a look.

Start with a low dose

CBD gummies come in different strengths. Some contain 10 mg CBD each. Others contain 25 or even 50 mg each. Make sure you check the dose before taking your gummies. When you're new to CBD, you really want to start with a low dose of 5 mg. This may be half or even a quarter of a gummy. If you do take more than needed, nothing truly horrible will happen. However, you will likely feel overly drowsy and fatigued, which can be a nuisance if you take CBD during the day. Start with a low dose and only increase it as needed to avoid this sort of sleepiness.

Wait for them to work

Sometimes people take a CBD gummy, don't feel much, and then take another one. But the thing is, CBD does not kick in immediately. If you're not waiting more than an hour, the CBD probably just has not kicked in yet. Always wait an hour or two before deciding whether the dose you took is adequate. If you re-dose earlier than this, you may take too much and feel drowsy.

Brush your teeth

It's common for people to take CBD gummies before bed. They can really help you relax and sleep. However, if you do this, you really need to brush your teeth after chewing your gummies. The gummies almost always contain sugar, and you don't need sugar on your teeth all night because that could lead to cavities. A good brush before bed is a smart precaution.

CBD gummies work really well for most people, and they are quite safe. With that being said, there are a few simple precautions you should take when using them. Rely on the tips above, and you should be golden.
