Some of us have experience with CBD while a lot of people don’t, and that’s ok! It’s still fairly new in the medical world and a lot of people are unsure of it. There are many different products for different types of conditions, which we have many different blogs covering. Such as, but not limited to: CBD for Pets, CBD for Acid Reflex, CBD for Thyroid, CBD and CBN, CBN and Fibromyalgia, CBN and Glaucoma, and many more.

One of the bigger questions we get at AHS is, “How long does it take for CBD to take effect?” The answer is luckily fairly simple, depending on the product you take.

For something like our gummies, that can take anywhere between half an hour to forty-five minutes, depending on the person. The gummies go through your digestive system, allowing the CBD to help with potential inflammation in your body as well as anxiety and stress. This is usually a go-to for CBD consumption because of how easy it is to ingest and how easy it is to carry around.

Along with that, we have CBD vapes. This is the fastest way to get CBD into your body. What’s so great about these vapes is the do not cause popcorn lung in anyone who uses it, which makes it a better alternative to cigarettes and other vapes alike. Like regular vapes, they also come in many different flavors. They don’t give you that feeling of intoxication either, with any CBD product in out store, everything with any form of THC is within the legal limits (0.03%). So you don’t get that “high” feeling, but will feel more relaxed and clearer headed over all. These are a good way to quickly get CBD into your system and have a quicker relaxation.

We also have CBD cream that takes about thirty minutes or so to take full effect. This product is used for topical pains such as back pain and skin irritation. The cream can go about four layers into the skin, allowing it to work deep into the tissue, though you should not put this product near your eyes or other sensitive areas on your body. We also have is our CBD patches. These work very similarly to the cream
and can be a good alternative in case you don’t like the creamy feeling on your skin. In addition, the patches can help with fatigue, irritation, and muscle tension.

There are also our tinctures/CBD oil, that can be held under the tongue for thirty seconds to a minute. This allows the CBD to enter the blood stream easier and take effect. While you can put the oil in either food or drinks, it will take most of the efficiency away from the product. Otherwise, the oil stays in your system for longer than most other products, especially if you take it in the morning and at night. This is another popular form of intake due to the CBD to go through the entire body and stay in your body for longer.

If you have any questions about CBD or how it can interact with any medication you may be taking, we have many specialists and a nurse on staff at AHS who can help with whatever you may need.
