How long does CBD take to work?

by | Sep 12, 2023 | 0 comments

The time it takes for CBD oil to work can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the consumption method, the quality of the CBD product, the dosage, and the individual’s body composition. In general, effects can be felt anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of hours after consumption.

Different formulas of CBD vary in how quickly they take to work

The consumption method plays a crucial role in determining how long it will take for you to feel the effects of CBD. Here’s a rough guideline for a few methods:

Sublingual: When CBD oil is placed under the tongue, it’s absorbed directly into the bloodstream via the sublingual membrane. This method can often produce effects within 30 to 60 minutes. This is the most effective method with Classic CBD Oil. Ingesting CBD Oil can reduce the absorption rate to as little as 4% to 20%.

Ingestion: If you ingest CBD oil in a capsule or gummy it has to pass through your digestive system, and the effects may take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in and you will be taking on board only a fraction of the CBD available in that capsule or gummy.

Topical: CBD oil applied topically to the skin for localised relief may take around 25-45 minutes to work. CBD Patches, designed to be transdermal, CBD will enter the bloodstream, more effectively than any other topical method, consistently over a period of 24 to 36 hours.

Orally: The Tonic’s Water -soluble Full Spectrum CBD is unique. This is designed to be ingested, so can be added to food and drink, while retaining its 100% absorption rate and entering the blood stream fast than any other form of CBD. Effects can be felt as fast as 15 minutes.

Vaping: We have never produced CBD vapes, as we believe there is a lot more research required into potential long term damage and there are far healthier forms of taking it. Inhaling CBD is the fastest way to get CBD into your bloodstream, but the effects only last for 1 to 2 hours so you will need to inhale often.

The quality and type of CBD product you’re using also matter. High-quality products tend to be more effective and work faster, and full-spectrum CBD oils, which include all the natural compounds in the cannabis plant, may have a quicker and more potent effect due to the entourage effect.

Individual factors like your metabolism, body weight, and tolerance to CBD can also affect how quickly you’ll feel the effects. Similarly, the dosage plays a significant role: a higher dose will likely be felt sooner than a lower one.

In addition to understanding how long CBD oil takes to work, it’s essential to know that everyone’s experience with CBD is unique. What works best for one person might not work as well for another. Starting with a low dose and gradually increasing it until you find your ‘sweet spot’ is often the best course of action. And as always, consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.
