Rumpelteazer: Buy the CBD as an oil, not a capsule, and make a batch of brownies. Or anything else you like to eat that can hide any strong tastes that you might not want. (There ARE flavourless CBD oils, but the ones with a distinct "skunk" are more common. And usually a bit less expensive.)
I use CBD to help me sleep. I take a 30 ml bottle of CBD oil, with a known strength of 25.53-27.66mg/g of active CBD (roughly 750 mg of CBD per bottle, varies slightly by batch), and add it to 500 ml of vegetable oil, and then use some of that vegetable oil to make a batch of brownies, 16 brownies to the batch. For me, it works out about right, but YMMV, of course.
Note for those following along -- edibles are much slower to take effect, so be a bit patient. But they stay "active" for longer. So I have my brownie at about 7:30 in the evening, and by the time I go upstairs an hour and a half or so later, it's just starting to smooth things out.
Also note that I'm in Canada, where all of this is completely and totally legal, and where the government sells thoroughly tested product (today there are 32 different oils or capsules of CBD to choose from, plus some number of pre-made edibles) that is of known strength and that is labelled just like the % of alcohol on my single malt is labelled.
