The Best Way To Take CBD: A Beginner’s Guide

  • What Is CBD?
  • Vapers and Past Smokers May Enjoy the CBD Vaping Liquid
  • CBD Oils Remain One of the Most Popular Choices
  • CBD Salve a Day Keeps The Inflammation Away
  • CBD Gummies
  • Conclusion

Chances are if you asked someone barely a decade ago what CBD is, most wouldn’t be able to tell you. That’s how recent a phenomenon it is. To illustrate the point in an even more telling way, in 2014, the US domestic CBD market was worth barely $108 million. For comparison purposes, projections for 2021 place the worth of the global market at an astounding $3.5 billion US, with predictions to rise to $13.4 billion by 2028. Suffice it to say; the CBD craze is definitely here to stay.

Due to the incredible size of the CBD industry, it most likely won’t come as a surprise that product diversity is extremely high. In simple terms, the number of ways in which you can take CBD extracts is many and rising. Now you might want to ask yourself which method of ingestion is the proper one? The answer to that is (as always) – it depends. As you’ll see when exploring the various different ways of consuming CBD, differing methods have their ups and downs. Before we do, let us define what CBD is.

What Is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD in short, is one of the major substances extracted from the cannabis plant. It was discovered fairly recently in history, only being isolated from the hemp plant by Roger Adams in 1940. Although nearly forgotten for decades, in recent times, it has seen a significant renewal in interest, both scientific and commercial. That is because CBD has been reported to have a positive impact on several human and animal mental conditions, such as depression or anxiety, as well as on a number of physical ailments.

Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is a non-psychoactive substance. It simply lacks the ability to make you feel high.  In most states it is legal and thus a very popular choice for medical and recreational purposes.

So without further ado, let us delve into the various types of CBD products.

Vapers and Past Smokers May Enjoy the CBD Vaping Liquid

If you’re a former smoker using vaping to quickly and efficiently quit and you want to try out CBD, consider purchasing a CBD vaping liquid. These liquids are made to be used with your electronic cigarettes, and they come in a variety of different flavours. The great thing about CBD vaping liquids is that they can be used in both mouth-to-lung and direct lung vapes. This means that you can use it in the vaping device of your choice, regardless of any factors.

But if you’re new to vaping, remember that apart from a CBD liquid, you will also need a device capable of administering it to your lungs, a vape pen. You can find a wide variety of high-quality vape pens at vapekit.co.uk.

CBD Oils Remain One of the Most Popular Choices

CBD oils are without a doubt the most common type of cannabidiol product. As the name suggests, CBD oil is a concentrated solution of CBD in a liquid form. It can come in a variety of strengths and concentrations, but generally speaking, the amount of CBD per millilitre of oil tends to be rather low, with a 1:1 ratio being the most common.

CBD oils for many is the perfect solution for those looking for a no-fuss way to consume CBD. They are extremely easy to use, as all you need to do is deposit a couple of drops under your tongue. Since they are liquids/oils, it also means that they can be easily integrated into your daily routine. As an example, you can drop them under your tongue before going to bed at night. This way, they can help you relax and fall asleep faster.

On the other hand, if you are already used to CBD intake, you may want to try some more advanced methods of administering CBD oils. You can simply mix some drops right into your salad or your freshly brewed tea, with ease.

As a general rule, if you have never taken CBD oils before, it is recommended that you start by taking small doses and waiting for ip to an hour to see how you react to it. This is especially true if you suffer from any type of condition which may be affected by CBD consumption.

CBD Salve a Day Keeps The Inflammation Away

Another very popular way of administering CBD is by using CBD salves. Also referred to as CBD balms or topicals, these are topically applied anti-inflammatory ointments made with CBD extracts.

The best part about CBD salves is that you can use them for basically anything. They are great for relieving pain, soreness, or just for simple relaxation. The only downside to them is that they tend to take a little longer than other methods of administration to start and/or stain your clothing as any lotion may do.

Other preferred methods of consumption are in capsules, extract oils, and patches to name a few.

CBD Gummies

CBD Gummies can be a safe alternative for children especially if you’re looking for healthy supplements which promote both wellness and a rich endocannabinoid system. CBD gummies are available in a variety of flavours and colours and can be easily purchased online or at your local dispensary. What’s especially important when using CBD in young children, is that CBD gummies taste pleasant, have no foul aftertaste so characteristic of some other CBD products and are safe when used alone.

Please always supervise children, emphasize the gummies are not candy, and watch for any untoward effects including sleepiness.

 

Conclusion

As you can see, there are multitudes of products containing CBD, and all of them vary when it comes to the method of application. Some of them are more advanced and may require a bit of learning. Others can be taken in the simplest form possible – by ingestion. Sooner or later, you’re bound to find your perfect way of administering CBD. Good luck and may you enjoy many happy experiences with CBD and improved health!
