We’re in an exciting era of widespread cannabis legalization in the states and around the world. The latest breakthrough was federal legalization for hemp-based CBD, opening the doors for legal cannabis consumption across the U.S.
This has led to a flurry of products hitting the market, tons of outrageous claims about the next wonder drug, and a climate of uncertainty in the industry.
Most people using CBD are consuming CBD oil to some degree. With so many products derived from the oil, it’s important to understand what is actually in that product you’re using. This guide will break it down.
You get CBD oil when you add the cannabidiol molecule to a variety of natural solvents – like hemp oil, coconut oil, and MTC oil.
Oil as the base for CBD is popular for a number of reasons.
Primarily, using oil as the route of administration makes CBD easily digestible, which allows for easy consumption and traceable dosing.
Additionally, some people do not want to smoke CBD and/or do not want the stigma that often comes along with smoking or vaping.
More people are finding new benefits for CBD oil everyday. What started as a miracle for children with epilepsy is now becoming part of mainstream life.
From tinctures to skin care products to infused beverages… CBD oil is everywhere.
Many people are left wondering… if it’s used for everything, is it actually effective at anything?
The answer is becoming more definitively, yes.
It seems too good to be true that a compound that can help acne can also help digestive issues. Luckily for your body, CBD truly can help with a large array of ailments.
The influx of new products on the market has made it confusing knowing where to start. There are plenty of ways to use CBD oil, the best advice is to test a few methods and see what fits best in your routine. There are a few popular ways people are using CBD as a part of their daily lifestyle.
One of the fastest ways for CBD to enter your system is sublingually. When using CBD under the tongue, it bypasses having to go through the stomach and liver.
This means the effects occur faster than other delivery methods because it’s entering your bloodstream sooner.
Tincture droppers allow easy sublingual use and dosage.
Eating and drinking your CBD oil is another delicious way to bring the benefits into your life.
You can get fancy and use CBD oil in your cooking, or simply add it to your morning smoothie or glass of water. Certain aromic oils go well in a pot of tea.
Many edibles are available with infused oil. These are often either gummies snacks or chocolate bars. And despite the lack of FDA approval, a handful of restaurants are offering CBD dishes.
CBD is also making its way into topicals that are applied directly on the skin or targeted area.
CBD acts as an anti-inflammatory, giving a calming effect on the skin, joints, and muscles. Skin care lines are infusing their products with cannabis oil to help with acne, anti-aging, and sensitive skin issues.
Another topical use of CBD oil is in balms for muscle and joint pain. When absorbed through the skin it can provide targeted use for aches and pains and even injuries.
One of the major benefits of CBD oil is lack of negative side effects. Most medications on the market have serious and uncomfortable side effects.
