CBD Edibles
CBD edibles are increasingly gaining traction for obvious reasons. They are yummy, and they hold a pre-measured CBD dose. Edibles are commonly available in the form of gummies infused with CBD - they are handy in many different flavors.
Edibles are available in two forms; full-spectrum and CBD isolate in your gummies or food. When it comes to edibles, there’s a lot of choice for consumers, therefore, making it a fun and exciting way to take CBD.
CBD Tinctures
The most popular way of taking cannabidiol is in the form of tinctures. It is available in different varieties of flavors and potency. Tinctures are taken by dropping a couple of drops under the tongue - to be effective, allow it to sit for around 30-60 seconds before swallowing. Slowly increase the dose until you have reached your desired effects. This method is incredibly useful and acts fast.
While CBD tinctures remain a popular form of ingesting CBD for experienced users, they are pretty easy to use for beginners as well. The dropper attached to the bottle allows you to measure the CBD and lets you experiment with different potencies. Get started HERE.
Vape CBD Oil
Vaping has become very popular for cigarette smokers to consume nicotine without harmful substances that come with tobacco. It’s also a popular way of taking CBD.
You can vape cannabidiol using a CBD vape pen or cartridge. Vaping allows CBD to go directly to the bloodstream; therefore, you’ll experience desired effects much faster than other methods.
Capsules
Capsules are the easiest and the most discrete form of consuming CBD - it can come in a form of a pill capsule or soft gelatin. Capsules usually offer 10-30mg in each pill, making it pretty easy to keep track of your daily dosage.
Topicals
