Cannabidiol (CBD) has spiked in popularity in recent years – with people using it to help soothe sore muscles, aid sleep, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, improve skin conditions and more.
The most common way to take CBD oil is to apply a few drops under the tongue and hold it in the mouth for 1-2 minutes. This is what’s known as the sublingual method, and when taken in this way, the CBD is absorbed through the blood vessels in the thin mucus membranes beneath the tongue. It doesn’t need to pass through the digestive system, meaning no CBD is wasted.
However, the earthy taste of CBD isn’t for everyone and some would much prefer to get their daily dose from sugary treats, such as CBD edibles.
What are CBD edibles?
CBD edibles – also known as CBD gummies – are edible candies that contain CBD oil.
Unlike other forms, these offer a discreet and easy way to ingest CBD. Plus, they come in a plethora of colours, flavours, shapes and concentrations.
When people think of CBD edibles, they often picture space cakes or brownies – but these are not the same. CBD has no psychoactive properties, so you won’t get high when you eat them.
Why CBD edibles prove to be popular
As you’re probably aware, many people take CBD to help with various health conditions, but that’s not the only reason…
Let’s take a closer look at the anecdotal benefits of CBD gummies.
CBD edibles provide long-lasting relief
It can take anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours for the effects of CBD to be felt when ingested. This is because the CBD is combined with other foodstuffs, meaning it will have to pass through the digestive system before it gets into the bloodstream.
Despite this, CBD edibles provide a slow and steady release of CBD, offering some much-needed relief for longer periods.
CBD edibles are easy to dose
Knowing how much CBD oil to take to alleviate symptoms can be tricky, and you can never be too sure how much you’re getting each time.
Luckily, CBD gummies remove the guesswork and come in pre-dosed servings, which means you can calculate exactly how much CBD you have consumed and how much you need to achieve the desired results.
CBD edibles are discreet
Whilst some forms of CBD can be cumbersome and impractical, edibles are inconspicuous and super easy to take.
You can either take them in the morning to boost your energy levels or at night as part of your bedtime routine. It merely depends on what works best for you.
Alternatively, CBD gummies can be enjoyed throughout the daytime when you’re craving something sweet.
They’re available for a great price online
Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of CBD edibles is that there is a wide range of products on the market today, catering for all budget requirements.
Thanks to there being so many online stockists, you can easily have them delivered directly to your door – meaning you won’t even have to leave the comfort of your home (or slippers!).
