Sublingual drops for precise, flexible dosing

The protocol

Start low. Go slow. Stay consistent.

Start with 5 mg CBD (or 2.5 mg THC where legal) under the tongue once daily. Hold for 60 seconds, then swallow. Reassess after 3 days; titrate up by 2.5–5 mg every 3 days only if you've noticed nothing meaningful. Most members settle between 10–25 mg total.

Practical tips

What clinicians tell their patients to actually do.

Hold the dose under your tongue for a full minute before swallowing — most of the absorption happens there.
Take with a small amount of fat (a spoon of yogurt, a few nuts) to extend duration.
Pick a consistent time each day for the first week so you can read the signal cleanly.
Increase one variable at a time — don't change dose and timing in the same week.
If you feel nothing the first session, that's normal. Give it 3 sessions before adjusting.
