00:00Thank you so much for having me Essence Wellness House. My name is Dr. Safia Lin. I practice down
00:10here in South Florida. I'm an emergency medicine physician, but I also prescribe medical marijuana
00:16to several patients down here. Medical marijuana got approved in 2016 in South Florida, so we're
00:23happy to be able to offer it to the state and educate the entire world about the purpose of
00:27CBD and also cannabis. Welcome to our segment today for The Doctor Says. My name is Dr. Lin,
00:34and this is Ask Dr. Lin's segment. First question, we're going to throw it to Jamila all the way from
00:40Miami, Florida. What is the easiest way to start trying CBD? So there's several different ways to
00:47start trying CBD. As we all know, we've seen tinctures, we've seen gummies, we've seen vitamins,
00:53a little bit of everything. Just know that it comes in an oil form or a powder form, and those
01:01two extractions can be found in lotions, creams, bath bombs, a little bit of everything, right?
01:07My personal recommendation is to start trying it orally. When you start, start with maybe 25
01:13milligrams, and the goal is to build up to whatever your intentional goal is, right? So let's think about
01:19that. If we want to achieve relief for insomnia, I'm going to start with the lowest possible dose,
01:25which will be 25 milligrams, whether that's in a pill form, a capsule form, or a tincture form.
01:31And then I can build up until I achieve relief from my insomnia. If that's 50 milligrams a day you
01:37need to take, if that's 75 milligrams a day you need to take, every one is different. Depends on our body
01:43weight, depends on what other medication we're taking. So all of that needs to be considered in our past
01:48medical history in terms of what is the appropriate dosage for you. Remember, dosing CBD is an art.
01:55There is no FDA-approved way to come up with a formula to tell you what is best for you.
02:00It is a customizable thing. So you have to decide with your intention and with mindfulness what's the
02:06best way to start dosing CBD, right? I recommend oral, start low, build up, and just use as little as
02:13you need. Because remember, this isn't expensive. This is definitely an investment in your health.
02:18So, yeah.
