Ways to Use CBD

One trend that’s here to stay is cannabis. Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant with psychoactive compounds. On its own, cannabis is considered dangerous because of the chemical compound known as THC. THC stands for tetrahydrocannabinol. This is the psychoactive chemical responsible for producing the high. CBD, although psychoactive, is what you want to use as it’s harmless compared to THC. Here are ways you can use CBD.

Edibles

Edibles is the name given to food that is infused with CBD. The number of foods, and even ingredients for that matter, that you can infuse CBD are limitless. Here’s a few to give you an example:

  • Chocolate bars
  • Water
  • Cereal
  • Popcorn
  • Tea leaves
  • Honey
  • Brownies
  • Gummy bears
  • Cooking oil

These nine foods are barely scratching the surface of what you can put CBD in. However, despite the diversity of foods and beverages, you can’t ingest that much at once. You need to know how much CBD is in the product you’re looking to consume. For example, if you want to take CBD gummies for the first time, you need to know that each gummy should contain five milligrams. Also, remember that the amount of CBD that’s within a product depends on what it is. The smaller the product, the less there is, like capsules only housing one milligram.

Smoking

A quick and easy way to reap the soothing benefits of CBD is to smoke it. Upon inhaling it through a cigarette or vape, the CBD goes right through your lungs and into your bloodstream. This allows your body to process it faster than any other method. But despite having high amounts of CBD, the risks of smoking cigarettes still apply. As a safer alternative to smoking, you can always try out a vape. Instead of having to worry about experiencing such a drastic effect on your lungs, vaping CBD allows you to do so without much of an issue. Furthermore, vaping also allows you to manage your dosages more efficiently while getting the maximum effect.

However, it’s possible for you to accidentally go over the amount of concentration you need. If this is your first time vaping, you’ll have to choose between weed vaporizers. We recommend getting a portable starter kit from a professional company to minimize the risk of a mishap. Since you’re mainly doing this to feel calm and relaxed, you don’t necessarily need CBD to do so. You also don’t need to vape either, but that’s ultimately up to you. As an alternative to CBD, using fresh herbs is a lot healthier.

Topically

The way CBD research has progressed is astonishing. There are so many ways to use it. CBD can help clear up your skin, you can even apply it to your skin via lotions, creams, or ointments. You can apply these products to pretty much anywhere on your body. However, keep in mind that the effects do not last too long compared to the other methods. Regardless CBD can be an enhancement to your existing routine when you are looking to try something new.
