CBD has gained recent popularity for its potential benefits and non-intoxicating properties. Even after years of 100% legal trading of CBD products in the United States, consumers still do not have clear guidelines and best practices when it comes to taking CBD. We are going to discuss the main differences between CBD edibles and CBD oil to give potential CBD consumers an honest reference for the two administration methods.
CBD Edibles
For most CBD users, they must decide if they want to take CBD edibles vs. oil. There are advantages and disadvantages to each application.
Edibles infused into a familiar food can be easy to take, and tasty. This is a great way to get your dose of CBD especially if you are turned off by the taste of CBD oil. Having legal cannabis-infused treats of every variety readily available is a crazy concept if you think of where the industry a decade ago.
The disadvantages of CBD edibles are efficiency. When CBD is sent to the digestive system, it can take hours for the CBD to be available for the body to use. Waste is also an issue. Experts believe that taking CBD edibles results in a substantial amount of CBD being lost in the process.
All administration methods result in waste. It is up to the user to be mindful of their dosage. Many CBD users prefer edibles but know that they will need a higher dose to get the same effects from other methods. For users that take CBD consistently, this can add up quickly. CBD edibles are not cheap.
Is CBD Oil Edible?
CBD oil drops are meant to be dissolved under the tongue. Many users swallow the CBD oil, essentially making them edible, but are most likely misinformed.
Allowing CBD to absorb under the tongue is known as sublingual administration. Relative to eating CBD, this method is more efficient. More CBD will enter the bloodstream and be available for the body to use.
The disadvantage of this method is taste. Many people are turned off by the strong earthy taste of CBD oil. Companies often infuse their oils with natural flavorings to provide a more familiar taste.
CBD oil is edible, but we suggest you take it sublingually. This will allow more CBD to be used by the body and less to be wasted. Sublingual CBD administration also becomes available for the body to use much faster than CBD edibles.
CBD Tincture Vs. Gummies
CBD tincture or CBD oil is our preferred method of administration because of a higher bioavailability. Many CBD companies are offering edibles that are designed to be absorbed in the mouth like CBD gummies and lollipops. These types of edibles stay in the mouth much longer than other foods delivering more absorption and quicker availability times.
CBD Edibles Vs. Oil
Our recommendation is to be an educated consumer. While we prefer CBD oil because it is more efficient, we understand that many users do not like the taste. Edibles are a fine way to administer CBD as long as the consumer is aware that less will become available for the body to use. A 25 mg CBD gummies will not have the same results as a 25 mg dose of CBD oil. As long as users understand and purchase accordingly, we have no problem with CBD edibles.
The main differences between CBD edibles and CBD oil are taste and bioavailability. Once users are properly informed, they can make the decision for themselves. We want to be a source of reliable information so the average CBD consumer can make an educated purchasing decision.
