Beginners often wonder how to use CBD. In Europe, the rules about CBD change from one country to another. In some places, it’s okay to use CBD as a food product and under the tongue, but not everywhere. This guide tells you how to use CBD under the tongue in places where it’s allowed.
What is CBD Sublingual?
Putting CBD under the tongue is called sublingual CBD. This way of using CBD works faster than eating it.
To use CBD this way, you need a liquid with CBD in it. Usually, this is oil from plants like Hemp Seed Oil or Coconut MCT Oil.
In countries like Canada and the United States, you can buy the same CBD oil as a food product. Because of this, using CBD under the tongue is popular in these places for its benefits.
What are the benefits of taking CBD by mouth?
Under your tongue, there are lots of tiny blood vessels. When you put a few drops of CBD there, it goes straight into your blood. This way, CBD doesn’t have to go through your stomach or liver first.
This means you don’t lose any CBD in digestion. It starts working in about 15 to 20 minutes, which is quicker than if you eat it.
Taking CBD under the tongue also lets your body use it better. This method works better than eating CBD.
The best things about CBD are that it works fast, it’s easy to use, and your body can use a lot of it.
How do you take CBD?
In Spain, you can only buy CBD oil to put on your skin, not to use under the tongue. So, if people in Spain use it this way, they’re not following the rules.
Here’s how to use CBD under your tongue in places where it’s allowed, like Canada, Switzerland, and the United States:
- Figure out how much to use. Once you know how much CBD oil you need, you’re ready to start.
- If it’s your first time, do a test. Put a drop of CBD oil under your tongue and wait two hours to see if you have a bad reaction.
- Don’t eat right before or after taking CBD oil. Wait about 15 to 20 minutes before eating.
- Use a spray or dropper to put a few drops under your tongue. Then hold it there for 30 seconds to a minute.
How long will CBD oil take to work under the tongue?
It usually starts working in 15 to 20 minutes. Sometimes, it might take up to 60 minutes.
The strongest effect happens about 1 to 2 hours after you use it. How long CBD lasts can change depending on how you use it and how much you take. A study found that using CBD under the tongue with doses between 5 mg and 20 mg can last up to eight hours.
