What are CBD Edibles and How long does it take for CBD Edibles to take effect?

CBD is gaining popularity among users as it has several health benefits and does not have a psychedelic effect or produce a ‘high’ like THC. It is a chemical derived from the cannabis plant and is available in different forms for consumption such as oil, nasal sprays, creams, and CBD edibles. CBD oils are the most widely used product among users but they do not taste good. On the other hand, CBD edibles, which are catching on in popularity, have a better taste, and are available in the form of candies and sweet treats. They are also easy to use, have a pre-measured dose and provide more gradual and extended effects as they are broken down slowly by the digestive system which is good if you want a long time of effects without using it again and again. As CBD is safe and legal in almost all US states, you can easily purchase CBD edibles online or from a good health store.

CBD edibles are a bit different from CBD oils and users who prefer CBD oil might take some time to get used to CBD edibles. The main difference among them is the time that CBD takes to start showing its effects when consumed in different forms. While using oils, you have to wait around 15 minutes usually before the effects of CBD start showing on your body. This wait is a bit longer with the use of edibles as they can take anything between 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects to start showing. This is because the way an edible is processed in the body varies from person to person which leads to a larger variation in time. CBD edible metabolism is influenced by various factors such as activity level, the weight, and height of the user as well as what was eaten before the consumption of a CBD edible.

Since CBD is not an intoxicant and it is safe to eat, it is not possible to overdose on CBD and you do not need to worry about consuming too much. Still, you should avoid eating more than one edible at a time even if you do not feel any effects. This will allow you to avoid the risk of experiencing the side effects of overconsumption of CBD such as nausea, fatigue, and headaches.
