How to quickly feel the effects of CBD?

Listen to this article:

 

Although cannabidiol provides a clear, calming effect, different routes of administration provide slightly different experiences. We invite you to discover the different methods of consuming CBD, so that you can find the one that suits you best.

Smoking or Vaping CBD

Smoking and vaping allows you to quickly feel the effects of CBD with almost immediate access to the bloodstream. When you take a puff, the cannabis smoke or vapor quickly enters your lungs. It doesn't take long for the molecules to reach the bloodstream, latch onto the corresponding receptor sites, and begin to work. The duration of the effect varies between individuals from 10 minutes to 3 hours.

Ressentir rapidement les effets du CBD


This method has the advantages:


  • Effectiveness: these methods offer an almost instantaneous dose of cannabidiol;
  • Satisfaction: smoking or vaping is a relaxing ritual for many users; taking the time to smoke provides relaxation and peace of mind.
  • Choice: consumers can alternate pleasures by selecting different varieties.

But it also has disadvantages, such as:


  • The smell: with each puff, you emit aromatic terpenes into the environment. If you want to keep your cannabis use private, you need to consider this.
  • Health: although vaping prevents combustion and the subsequent creation of carcinogens, we know that smoking does not benefit our lungs or our health in general.

Sublingual mode to quickly feel the effects of CBD

Sublingual administration means you put CBD under your tongue. The thin layer of tissue allows the effects of CBD oil to be felt quickly through the capillary beds and directly into the bloodstream. The duration of the effect varies depending on the individual from 5 minutes to 6 hours

This method has the advantages:


  • The healthy side: the absence of smoke or fear preserves your lungs, while having access to a rapid effect.
  • Discretion: sublingual administration does not send a cloud of terpenes into the air; you can consume it at home or at work without being noticed.

Disadvantages include:


  • Taste: some cannabidiol oils can have a nutty taste. But it remains a concentrated product whose taste quality is not renowned, and which may put off some.
  • Dosage: overall, CBD oil allows very precise dosage. However, if you place drops under your tongue without having a mirror handy, the amount poured can be unpredictable.

Oral CBD

Ingested cannabidiol passes from the intestine, then to the liver, before entering the bloodstream where it begins to take effect. This digestion can take between thirty minutes and an hour. However, the effects generally last longer and are felt for up to 6 hours depending on the individual. If you're not in a rush, oral cannabidiol will give you a sustained, clear experience.

CBD & Café


This method has the advantages:


  • Maximum discretion: By adding CBD oil to coffee, tea, juices and soups, you can consume the cannabinoid in complete privacy.
  • Taste: You can mix CBD oil with almost anything; drop a few drops on a candy, fruit or anything you like.

Disadvantages include:


  • The wait: if you prefer a quick start, move on.
  • Bioavailability: the digestive tract is a hostile place, which does not favor the absorption rate; some of the cannabidiol will only pass through without reaching the bloodstream.

Topical Application of CBD

Topically applied CBD is a great way to nourish your skin. The duration of the effect varies between individuals from 1 hour to 24 hours.

This method has the advantages:

 

  • A complete range: CBD users have at their disposal numerous supports including creams, balms, lotions and serums .
  • Supporting ingredients: cannabidiol cosmetics contain other natural skin-nourishing ingredients that act in addition to the cannabinoid (shea butter, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, etc.).

But CBD applied topically doesn't reach the bloodstream, so you won't feel any mental effects.

How to optimize the effects of CBD and feel them quickly?

Take CBD with fatty foods
Cannabinoids are fat-soluble molecules, which explains why most cannabis recipes contain a lot of fat.

Choose a Full Spectrum CBD Oil
Full-spectrum CBD oils contain a rich cocktail of cannabis phytochemicals. Along with the high levels of cannabidiol, you get a healthy dose of aromatic terpenes that work with the cannabinoid to create more pronounced effects.

Keep CBD oil under your tongue
Sublingual administration provides rapid effects, but still requires a certain amount of patience. Many users swallow the oil a little too soon, reducing its effects. Leave the drops under the tongue for at least one minute to allow maximum absorption before swallowing.

We hope that these tips will allow you to make the most of the beneficial effects of cannabidiol!
