With a 4:1 CBD|THC ratio, Vela has generally been considered a good introduction to cannabis as an adjunct therapy, containing four times the concentration of CBD relative to THC. With minimal THC, Vela produces very little psychoactivity/euphoria yet both cannabinoids work synergistically to increase its effectiveness.

Key Benefits
Tinctures are absorbed sublingually, so essential cannabinoids are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Effects are delayed through the absorption process but are prolonged. The application is very discreet, with no odor.
Instructions
Patients are recommended to initiate treatment with 2.5 mg (meaning 2 drops). After 5-7 days, the dose can be gradually increased to 5 mg twice a day (4 drops, twice a day).
Patients who are able to tolerate 5 mg twice daily may benefit from a dosage increase. The maximum dosage recommended is 10 mg twice daily (8 drops, twice a day). This should be progressed over several weeks, as tolerated.
Warnings
This product contains MCT oil. Those with a coconut allergy should consult their physician before consuming.
