The 4 different ways to consume CBD

You will certainly have noticed that CBD is slowly taking its place on the commercial scene. Free of THC, it is commonly described as calming and pain-relieving. But did you know that CBD can be used in several different ways? This article sets out which ones.

1. Ingesting CBD

Sold in the form of capsules, oil capsules or wax, CBD can be ingested. This remains the most widespread method. Once in the stomach, the effects spread through the body during digestion.

Discreet and easy to measure out, ingesting CBD can be done anywhere and without hiding from those around you, unless someone happens to be watching you cook and add CBD wax to your dishes.

Its neutrality in both taste and smell also appeals to many users. The only notable drawback is the time needed before the effects appear, which is longer than with certain other methods.

2. Smoking CBD flower

CBD flower looks like ordinary cannabis flower. Smoking it is nonetheless rather discouraged. A vaporiser is preferable, since it does not alter the properties of the flower and does not call for tobacco to be added.

CBD wax is also suitable for use in a vaporiser or an electronic cigarette, as are CBD e-liquids and CBD resin.

3. CBD infusions

As you will have gathered, this means preparing a herbal tea from CBD flowers. To do so, crumble the head and use the CBD in place of your usual herbal tea or tea. Adding a fat (vegetable oil, butter, milk and so on) is recommended to make the effects more pronounced.

4. CBD-based massage

Whether you use CBD oil or CBD wax, it is perfectly possible to give a massage on targeted painful areas.
