If you are new to the world of CBD right now you will have thousands of questions about the effect of CBD. Many of the answers can be found in some articles on this blog, but today we will focus on one of the most repeated.
In countries like Switzerland, the use of CBD is varied and common. However, in Spain, legal use is aromatic and topical. However, it has become so common that it is already present in tobacconists and major cosmetic brands, completely standardizing CBD-rich products and making use of its great benefits.
Despite the current legislation, our customers make multiple uses of CBD-rich products and that is why it is important to know its effects depending on the form of consumption: inhaled or vaped, as a food supplement, or as cosmetic use.
After its use, CBD reaches the blood and through it is distributed through the body interacting with the receptors of the endocannabinoid system and with the serotonin receptors. But the path the CBD takes to get there influences the time it takes for the receptors to be stimulated and therefore the average time it takes for a person to notice the effects.
The most important thing when using CBD is to keep track, follow a routine, and above all listen to your body. Something important to keep in mind is that there is no exact answer since the absorption and elimination of CBD depend on many factors such as weight, metabolism, or even the method of consumption.
In this article, we will recap the different ways to use CBD and the average time it takes to feel its effects.
Effects of CBD vs. Modes of us
Smoking and vaporizing
Many people opt for CBD flowers and vaporizers to avoid burning carcinogenic substances. This mode of use causes the CBD to reach the pulmonary alveoli and from there into the blood.
When CBD is inhaled, it only has to pass through a thin membrane to reach the bloodstream, which is a “fast route” causing almost instantaneous effects (1 minute).
The average time it takes the human body to metabolize, or what is the same to eliminate, the inhaled CBD is about 1-2 hours after taking a dose of 20mg.
Sublingual dosage
Or what is the same in English, but a few drops under the tongue? This is the most common method for products such as CBD oil.
This method is widely used with other products in the medical field as it avoids passing through the digestive tract, which increases the bioavailability of this substance.
By placing the dose sublingually, the CBD comes into contact with the thinner and more permeable layer of the mouth, which favors absorption and allows the CBD to reach the blood quickly through the capillaries.
When we use CBD sublingually, we must put a few drops under the tongue and wait for its absorption. Its effects take about 15 minutes to appear and its duration is between 1 and 10 hours if the dose is between 5 and 20 mg.
