CBD: What’s the Best Way To Use It?
No doubt you’ve heard about the amazing ways CBD is supposed to help with everything from pain, to inflammation, to depression, anxiety and more.
Well, with all the research that exists and continues, it’s no longer a question of whether medical cannabis works – today the key question is how to use cannabis for maximum therapeutic benefit.
This NB shares the best ways to get the most benefits of this powerful plant compound, as well as the #1 myth around it…Courtesy of our friends at
Supplements Revealed and their truly useful guide, CBD Ripoff Report: Exposing the Truths & Lies of the CBD Industry.
When it comes to delivery methods, the truth is that there is no “best’’ option; each person has unique and specific needs. However, some general guidelines may help you choose the right method:
Ingestible (Eating It)
This could include capsules, gummies, or other types of edibles containing hemp extract. This extract is full of molecules that can easily dissolve in fats, but they don’t dissolve in water very well.
You can help the process by choosing gummies, oils, or capsules to help your body absorb the CBD, including other phytocannabinoids and nutrients, more effectively.
Because the whole-plant extract needs to go through your digestive process before it’s absorbed, it can take up to 2 hours to feel the effects.
Once absorbed, the effects can last much longer than with other delivery methods, so make sure you leave plenty of time to see how your body reacts. [VegHealth Note: The general rule is to start low and go slow, but in all honesty that doesn’t really apply to CBD products that don’t contain THC.]
Sublingual
This involves any method where you put the CBD under your tongue and let it sit for (ideally) up to 2 minutes. This is most effective with tinctures, which can be extracted with alcohol or CO2.
Be sure to check your product’s extraction method – products using butane or propane are often cheaper. However, they can contain toxic residual chemicals that do more harm than help your body.
Sublingual delivery is a highly effective method and, in most instances, is preferred by experts since it is directly absorbed into the membranes in your mouth and enters the bloodstream almost immediately.
One thing to look out for is swallowing the tincture once it’s been under your tongue. This can result in delayed and prolonged effects that will kick in long after you feel the initial effects due to it ultimately going through the digestive tract.
Inhalation
Inhalation is by far the fastest when it comes to the absorption rate. You can choose smoking or vaping to achieve this kind of fast-acting medicine. Because the CBD enters the bloodstream through the respiratory system (similar to THC) instead of the metabolic system, the effects will be felt immediately.
Smoking the whole plant ensures that you benefit from the entourage effect, getting CBD, THC, terpenes, flavonoids, and more.
Vaping has become immensely popular and allows you to control your dosage more accurately.
In this delivery method, experts agree that temperature regulation further increases absorption. Many of the cannabinoids and terpenes have lower boiling points than that of CBD and THC. So learning about optimum temperatures will help your efforts.
As we mentioned at the start of this Nutrition Bite…
This guidance comes from CBD Ripoff Report: Exposing the Truths & Lies of the CBD Industry, which you can download today and discover all you need to know about buying and using CBD, including the lies often told about it.
For example, probably the #1 Myth about CBD is that CBD is addictive. Actually, it’s not.
The truth is that neither Cannabis nor Hemp is addictive, including the compounds in them like CBD or even THC.
Keep in mind addiction is when someone cannot mentally or physically withstand NOT consuming a substance, even when negative effects impact their health or lives. When consumption does come to an end, there are severe withdrawal effects on the body.
In the case of CBD, it’s kind of like claiming you can be addicted to vegetable oil, ‘cause that’s really what it is – an extract from a plant.
But you can read everything you need to know in the CBD Ripoff Report.
