HOW TO USE CBD FOR HEALTH AND WELLNESS

There are a variety of ways to use and consume “the plant”. Luckily, for those of us who prefer not to smoke or vape CBD and other cannabis products, there are many other options!

TOPICALS

Lotions
Oils
Salves and balms

These products are a great option for people who are wary of the potential psychoactive effects of edibles, ingestibles and sublinguals. Rubbing an oil or salve on sore muscles and joints can provide purely physical relief. These products are also great for daily skin care as well as managing uncomfortable skin conditions like eczema.

EDIBLES AND INGESTIBLES

DIY snacks, beverages and infused butters/oils
Pre-made snacks, beverages and infused butters/oils
Capsules (like a traditional vitamin/supplement)

Edibles and ingestibles are considered “slow acting” because the digestive process can prolong the effects up to 2 hours. That said, every body is different. Some people will feel the effects within 15 minutes. Also, every body has a unique response to different products. A person could have a completely different experience with a 10mg gummy from one brand than they had with a similar product by another brand.

SUBLINGUALS

Often referred to as “tinctures”, these concentrated bottles of oil are considered “fast acting” because they’re designed to spray or drop under the tongue for quick absorption and effects. What’s cool about tinctures is that they’re extremely versatile! You can add drops to a food or beverage to create your own edible, or use them as a topical on your skin. Since tinctures are more concentrated, it may be in your best interest to add drops into your normal lotion or skin cream so that you can cover more surface area using less product.

WHAT METHOD SHOULD I USE?

Ultimately, every person needs to experiment to figure out the 1. products and 2. dosages that give them the effects they’re looking for. Personally, I use every single one of these methods weekly, if not daily.

I’ve yet to come across a person who didn’t love Papa & Barkley’s products, so they’re a brand I always recommend for beginners. Code BSTRONG gets you 15% off your first purchase of any of their CBD products!
