CBD Sprays v/s CBD Edibles

In recent times, researches pertaining to the medical usage and health benefits of medical marijuana oil popularly known as CBD or Cannabidiol have proved to be potentially beneficial for the patients suffering from ailments like Alzheimer’s and Cancer rather than just making the users ‘High’ unlike another compound from the marijuana plant, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.

Nowadays, almost all the supermarket shelves are having CBD products in one form or another. From oils, balms, pills, vaping devices like e-cigarettes, beverages to even various savories like honey and gummy bears to make the concept of medicines more attractive for millennials who fuss about eating anything bitter. Experts say that “ settling for the one that works best for an individual might need a close attention and a bit of trial and error to ensure the best outcome.” 

According to one of the consumer reports, 13% of the Americans say that they’ve used CBD to cure the symptoms. 90 out of 1003 users found that CBD products really help in easing the symptoms of chronic diseases. But the most important question pops up here is that ‘ Which is the best way to consume the products to witness faster and effective results? ‘ To answer such queries, the CBD experts say that the usage and its effect differs from one patient to another depending on the medical condition.

The oil used in this form is extracted from hemp plant by using pressurized carbon dioxide gas or ethanol and then it is put directly into the mouth using a spray or a dropper. In order to preserve the cannabidiol and not let it taste awful, it is diluted with sesame or coconut oil. The quick action formula in the CBD spray typically works within 15-30 minutes targeting the pain or anxiety.

While using it from a bottle, one should make sure the exact CBD spray content in the bottle and the CBD content per dose also ensuring the price of the same.

Experts suggest holding a drop of CBD under the tongue for 30 seconds. One should restrict putting the same on the tongue as it would get swallowed faster and the digestive system would make the absorption slower and it would take 30 minutes or more for the oil to actually start working on the painful areas.

There is a pool of products infused with CBD particularly food and drinks have a taste with which one’s taste buds are familiar with. They are easily available from local restaurants to supermarket shelves. Sometimes the actual taste and aroma of the dish might overpower the CBD edibles and thus it goes undetectable.

In a couple of states, the usage of CBD in foods and drinks have become as common as a restaurant giving away an offer of adding CBD infused ghee ( clarified butter ) on the meals as a part of a promotional activity.“The Mr. Nice Guy”—a vodka and mezcal mixed drink that includes CBD for all the cocktail lovers out there.

Various sweets and savories like gummies and caramel candies sold by Hemp Garden's Tagliaferro surprisingly have longer shelf life provided if stored in a cool and a dry location so the quality doesn’t drop thus making it a travel-friendly snack.
And baked edible products like brownies have a comparatively short shelf life, so in order to keep the CBD oil fresh, it has to be stored in the refrigerator.

CBD-infused cold-brew coffees and ice teas are sold by Kickback in New York, California, and Texas.

Consuming various CBD edibles might seem a good and exciting idea but honestly, it is an equally inefficient way of consuming it. The food enters the digestive tract along with the CBD content present within and then after this process, it is absorbed in the bloodstreams. Thus, it slows down the entire process of absorption by 30 minutes or more and one experience the potential effect of the medicine quite late. 

One of the other alternatives to this is consuming it in the form of a pill which might also take more than 30 minutes to start showing its effect on the body.
Experts say that pills can be a dependable option for patients who have to mandatorily maintain CBD levels in their body due to chronic conditions like fibromyalgia.

Just how Asthma patients use their inhalers for quick relief from the Asthma stroke, such CBD sprays and droppers provide quick relief to the system. Honestly, both the types of products are equally effective, but sprays and drops can be relied on compared to the edible consumption as it increases the time taken to actually let the CBD start its effect.
