Understanding the Different CBD Products and When to Use Them

Right now, due to the widespread hype and popularity, CBD-based medical solutions are probably the most popular alternative natural medication.

Marijuana- and CBD-based products have been legally available in Canada since October 2018, so buying CBD products in California is no longer taboo.

There are many CBD products on the market for different purposes. Understanding them and their uses before purchasing any CBD products will produce the best results.

With so many types of CBD products, it can take time to wrap your head around them.

This article will help you familiarize yourself with the common types of CBD products and figure out which one is right for you.

Define CBD

First, let's give a brief overview of CBD, the main ingredient in all CBD products. CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol, an active ingredient in marijuana and hemp.

Although it is the main component that gives medical marijuana its medicinal properties, CBD products typically contain CBD derived from hemp.

The main attraction of CBD is that it doesn't create the "high" that comes from consuming THC, which is the main ingredient in marijuana.

This is because THC and CBD react with different neural receptors – THC reacts with the CB1 receptors that cause the psychoactive effects of marijuana. On the other hand, CBD reacts with the CB2 receptors that control the intensity of the pain.

This means you can safely consume CBD without worrying about becoming addicted to it. Here are the most common and popular CBD products in North America:

CBD capsules

Most doctors recommend CBD capsules or pills for seizures and digestive disorders. They are the size of standard tablets that can be taken with or without water.

Due to its capsule shape, the effects take some time to set in. Despite this disadvantage, CBD capsules have gained wide popularity in recent years.

The main advantage of CBD capsules is that you don't need to measure your intake as they contain a fixed amount of CBD.

They also don't have a distinct taste or smell that many people dislike about CBD products. Also, the effects of CBD capsules tend to last longer than other CBD products, with the exception of CBD foods.

CBD Edible

CBD foods are a huge hit with the younger generation, and for good reason – they're both delicious and healthy.

CBD foods are mostly consumed only for their health and nutritional value, but many people tend to ingest them for digestive problems. These foods come in many forms, such as: B. CBD gums, gums, brownies, pastries and more.

Because CBD foods travel directly through the digestive tract, it has the longest lasting effects of any CBD product. They also benefit from the fact that they are the easiest to consume of any CBD product.

CBD oils

Of all the CBD products, CBD oils are probably the most widely prescribed CBD product by doctors. CBD oils have been proven to be highly effective in treating severe neurological conditions such as epilepsy, Dravet syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS).

These disorders do not respond well to seizure medication, making CBD oils a miracle treatment for patients suffering from them.

CBD oils have the highest concentration of CBD of any CBD product, making them the most effective medicinal option. This also means that CBD oils are the fastest-acting CBD products too. Most people take CBD oils sublingually, but many prefer to vape them too.

CBD tinctures

CBD tinctures are very similar to CBD oils in shape and properties, but with one significant difference. Unlike CBD oils, which have no added flavor, CBD tinctures contain additional ingredients such as alcohol and fruit essence to give them an aromatic scent and a pleasant taste.

CBD themes

CBD themes are a type of CBD product that is intended to be used on the skin. They're usually available in wax form, but unlike lotions and balms, they don't offer any skin benefits. The main idea behind CBD themes is that your skin will absorb the CBD benefits first, followed by the bloodstream. Typically, consumers apply CBD creams or wax to areas of the body that are affected by pain.

While useful, keep in mind that CBD themes also have the lowest concentration of CBD. The main benefit of using it is that you can take it with you and use it anywhere without raising your eyebrows around you.

THC products with CBD

In some cases, CBD products contain THC. Although THC is a psychoactive element, the psychoactive effects have been shown to be beneficial for mental disorders and stress.

By adding THC, many CBD products such as CBD oils, foods, and capsules can provide additional benefits for mental and physical health.

Use the right product for the right problem

After you understand the differences and benefits of the most popular CBD products on the market, and how to use them, it should be easier for you to choose the right one for you.

If you are already on prescription medication, you can ask your doctor to prescribe the right CBD product for your condition. This way, you can get the maximum benefit from CBD products.
