You’ve probably wondered more than once how long it takes for CBD to take effect, and it’s a very relative question as it depends on many factors.
Before knowing how long it takes for CBD to take effect, we must be clear about what CBD is and what its effects are, including the secondary ones.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol is a well-known component of the cannabis sativa plant, its fame is due to the incredible properties it could bring to our body.
CBD has gained many followers today as it is an anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, muscle relaxant component and also decreases stress and anxiety levels among others.
Effects of CBD
As we mentioned earlier, the incredible properties of CBD make this component have effects on us.
CBD could cause you to feel: a feeling of well-being, thanks to its analgesic properties. A feeling of relaxation, thanks to its anxiolytic properties. Feeling disconnected, thanks to its sleep-inducing properties among many other effects.
As for the side effects, these are mild and rarely manifest: some of the side effects are dry mouth, low blood pressure, lightheadedness, and drowsiness.
We remind you that in Spain CBD products are for topical use.
How long does it take for CBD to work?
This question is a “trick question” as the effects of CBD will be noticeable depending on the manner of use, the amount, the frequency and the person using it.
When using CBD oil sublingually, the effects will be felt sooner than through topical application or through vaping or aromatherapy with the flowers. CBD reaches the bloodstream sooner if we administer it sublingually. The sublingual method is totally prohibited in our country, as well as in other countries of the European Union.
The amount of CBD consumed also plays a fundamental role in determining the time it takes for CBD to take effect, as it is not the same to take 5 mg as it is to take 30 mg.
Likewise, the frequency with which we consume cannabidiol is also relevant when it comes to knowing how long it will take for the joint to take effect or the amount of oil administered.
And finally, as the saying goes, each person is different. There will never be an established pattern for how long it will take for CBD to take effect.
However, and in general terms, we could say that the effects of cannabidiol can take around 15 minutes to appear and its duration is between 1 and 10 hours if the dose is between 5 and 20 mg.
