Edibles

What are CBD Edibles?

Lots of people love CBD edibles. But, they really appeal to CBD newbies. Why is that? Well, edibles are discreet, and the stigma around hemp (as a cannabis plant) pretty much disappears inside the mouth-watering taste, sweetness, or tangy flavor of the CBD edible chosen. Plus, hemp edibles are great to take on the go, keep in your purse, or kitchen cabinet. Each dose of CBD is carefully measured out so you know exactly how much CBD you’re getting in every bite or serving. Finally, who wouldn’t want to indulge in a sweet treat that was actually good for them?

Most Popular Types of CBD Hemp Edibles

There are lots of incredible hemp edible options out there. CBD manufacturers are getting more and more creative every day with the choices they provide customers. Good news for you, right!

CBD Edible Effects

Here’s the thing. CBD edibles must pass through the digestive tract before you’re able to feel any effects. This could take 1 to 2 hours depending on the person and the type of edible consumed. Even though the effects take longer to be felt, they can last in your system for a long time, up to 8 hours in fact. This is a huge perk if you want a steady dose of CBD for half of your waking day. It’s the same reason why you see a lot of sleep gummies on the market. The average person sleeps 7 to 8 hours a day. A gummy or other edible has long-lasting effects that stay with them throughout the night. When you look at other CBD consumption methods like vaping, users only get effects for a few hours at the most before needing to vape again to feel additional effects. Besides getting better sleep, CBD consumers use CBD edibles because they report feelings of increased well-being, calm, relaxation, and emotional balance. Feel free to visit the National Institutes of Health at PubMed for scientific studies on the effects and benefits of CBD (cannabidiol).

Benefits of CBD Edibles

What’s so special about CBD? Glad you asked. The reason companies add CBD hemp extract to different edible treats is because of its ability to work with and enhance our endocannabinoid system (ECS). Like our digestive system, cardiovascular system, and immune system, the ECS has its place in keeping us healthy and alive. It may not get as much love from mainstream media, but the ECS has been called the most remarkable discovery in modern-day history. Scientists only learned about the ECS in the 1990s. What’s even cooler is that CBD and other cannabis cannabinoids like CBG and THC, directly and indirectly, interact with the system to maintain homeostasis or internal balance in our bodies and minds. So, when someone asks you, what are the benefits of CBD, you’ll know exactly what to say. CBD tea, CBD edibles, and all other CBD based products have the ability to improve the function of the ECS and that leads to greater well-being. Great well-being can express itself in the form of more energy, better sleep, feeling happier, more relaxed, a reduction in bodily aches and pains, and much more.

Do CBD Edibles Get You High?

Good question. This is something most people want to know. The short answer is no. CBD edibles derived from hemp plants don’t contain enough of the psychoactive cannabinoid, THC, to make you high. In fact, in accordance with the 2018 Farm Bill, to remain federally legal, hemp-based products must have less than 0.3% THC. This percentage is extremely small. You’ll only find THC in full spectrum CBD edibles. Edibles made with broad spectrum CBD or CBD isolate don’t contain any THC. So, you have lots of options when choosing an edible.
