Your Top 6 Questions About CBD Answered
There are a lot of questions from the CBD-Curious, here’s the first six!
What does CBD do?
There is a lot of research ongoing looking at the effects of CBD but at this time more research is needed before any medical claims can be made. Instead, what we do know is that CBD reacts with our endocannabinoid systems, a natural system in our body that produces natural cannabinoids. Users of CBD report a variety of positive benefits across wellbeing but of course, these need to be taken with a pinch of salt. For some, CBD doesn’t do much whereas for others they seem to see some desired effects.
How does CBD vape make you feel?
How CBD makes you feel really varies between users with many reporting positive effects and benefits. As mentioned before, it’s wise to mention that CBD does not support any medical claims at this present time, and so we can only comment on anecdotal evidence for now. But generally, many users report feelings of satisfaction and general wellness.
How do you take CBD oil?
Typically, CBD oil is usually taken sublingually (under the tongue). Normally this is done by popping a couple drops from a pipette under your tongue and allowing it to sit there for 60-90 seconds before swallowing. These types of products are known as Oral drops or tinctures which are CBD oil mixed with flavourings.
You can also take CBD via CBD vapes, cosmetics or edibles. All of these have their own bioavailability which can mean the CBD takes longer to create effects based on how quickly they enter the bloodstream. For example, CBD vape, and sublingual drops are among the highest for bioavailability with CBD vape topping the charts.
How many puffs of CBD should I take for anxiety?
CBD is not a product that can be used medically in the UK and cannot hold any medical claims about it. Some users have noted that they use CBD to help with anxiety, but we cannot suggest using CBD in place of prescribed medicines. If you are suffering with anxiety and need help you can contact your GP for help and/or speak with specialists who are available to help 24/7 across many helplines.
Generally speaking, those who use CBD vapes tend to take 3-4 puffs a day when needed. When using a 150mg CBD disposable like our Cali Greens CBD Go, this amount would give you around the recommended daily dosage for CBD (70mg).
How long does CBD oil take to work?
The time it takes for CBD oil to affect you really depends on the method of which you take CBD. Any CBD product that requires to be digested (like edibles) will take a lot longer to affect you as it must travel through the digestive system before it can potentially get into your bloodstream.
Typically, those that act the quickest are those with higher bioavailability such as CBD vapes. These can take around 15 minutes to take effect but even these can differ between users. Some users feel CBD effects quicker than others and some need higher strengths to notice any effects. This can be due to genetics, metabolism and much more. Essentially, the best thing to do is try for yourself until you find the optimum strength and method and see how long it typically takes for you.
