CBD Chocolate Dosage

Lexie Livingston
April 4, 2022

CBD has become well-known in recent years as a result of its numerous health advantages. However, it is also notorious for not tasting the best. The strong hemp flavor of CBD oil is more often tolerated than enjoyed by users. On the other hand, most people thoroughly enjoy a piece of creamy, rich chocolate. Chocolate actually has some pretty outstanding health advantages of its own. This is why the two go together so well! With CBD chocolate Canada, you’ll receive the delectable taste of chocolate together with all of the benefits of CBD.

However, being so tasty can tempt you to eat an entire bar, which could result in some unintended effects. In this article, we’ll explain the details of determining your specific CBD chocolate dosage. But first, let’s take a look at some of the basics.

What is CBD Chocolate Canada?

CBD chocolate is exactly what it sounds like: active CBD or full-spectrum hemp extract in milk or dark chocolate. CBD chocolates come in a variety of flavors, combinations, and potencies. For example, you will find CBD vegan chocolate, organic CBD chocolate, and chocolate with THC and CBD (including various ratios of both). Taking it a step further, you will find various chocolate based food products on the market, such as CBD and THC infused chocolate milk, CBD and THC chocolate cake, and even CBD and THC chocolate candy.

CBD chocolate has two active ingredients:

  • CBD (cannabidiol): CBD is the key active element in the hemp plant. It's what gives cannabis its calming, anxiolytic, analgesic, and mood-supporting effects.
  • Cacao: The seed of the cacao tree, Theobroma cacao, is known as cacao. They are responsible for giving chocolate products their dark, bitter flavor. A combination of potent antioxidants, tryptophan, trace minerals, and theobromine, a stimulating alkaloid akin to coffee, make up the active components.

The best CBD chocolate is created from a combination of active cacao seeds and cacao pod oil, as well as dairy products, sugar or other sweeteners, and other spices or flavoring compounds. The sweeter the chocolate, the more sugar and dairy it contains. The darker types of chocolate, which include a higher concentration of cacao, provide the most health advantages of cacao and CBD. This type of chocolate is more bitter, but it provides far more health advantages than sugary milk chocolate which lacks many of the energizing properties, trace minerals, tryptophan, and antioxidants that make chocolate so nutritious.

Chocolate is an excellent CBD delivery vehicle for three reasons:

  • Chocolate has a high fat content, which aids CBD absorption through the digestive tract.
  • Chocolate includes theobromine, a moderate stimulant similar to caffeine. Thus, CBD chocolate effects include an added benefit of reducing mental weariness and exhaustion.
  • The grassy taste of hemp extracts is readily hidden by the chocolate flavor, which helps to disguise the taste that some people dislike.

Astonishing CBD Chocolate Effects

Because dark chocolate is the most anandamide-rich plant food on the planet, it has improved efficacy as a CBD consumable when infused with CBD-rich hemp extract. Anandamide, sometimes known as the "bliss molecule," is a neurotransmitter produced spontaneously in the brain. An enzyme in the body called Fatty Acid Amide Hydrolase (FAAH) ordinarily breaks down anandamide quickly, but CBD suppresses this enzyme's activity, prolonging the pleasurable effects of anandamide in your system. It's no surprise that chocolate with THC and CBD makes you feel so amazing!

What is an Appropriate Dosage for CBD Chocolate Canada?

The most common CBD chocolate dosage is 20-40mg per dose, which can be repeated 2-4 times per day, depending on your needs. A word of caution, however, is to not consume dark chocolate too late in the day because the stimulants in chocolate can make it difficult to sleep later. A typical dosage will vary from person to person. The appropriate dose for you will be influenced by factors such as your weight, your specific sensitivity to CBD, and the intensity of the benefits you want.

The amount of CBD in a chocolate bar can also vary quite a bit from product to product. You may come across goods with concentrations as low as 40 mg per bar or as high as 300 mg per bar. Obviously, depending on the potency of the chocolate bar you're using, the amount of chocolate you should ingest to achieve your desired dose will vary.

Calculating the amount of CBD per piece is the easiest way to determine the dose. For example, each piece of a CBD chocolate bar containing 200 mg of CBD will supply roughly 20 milligrams of CBD (200 mg/10 pieces = 20 mg/piece). Ingest two pieces if your goal is to take 40 mg. Take one and a half pieces if you want 30 mg.

When it comes to determining a CBD chocolate dosage, or any CBD edible for that matter, this is a good breakdown:

  • 5-10mg: This amount is suitable for those who are new to CBD or who are aware that only a small amount is required to produce an impact.
  • 20-30mg: This is about the typical suggestion for a single serving.
  • +50mg: This would be a substantial serving size.
