Summary of Pros and Cons of All Ways of CBD Consumption
CBD has been shown to offer potential health benefits, such as the reduction of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. As its legitimization continues globally, various dazzling consumption methods are showing up as available. For those of you looking to break into the CBD market, this section will provide you with the information to find the right methods. We'll walk you through them, comparing their pros and cons so that you can choose the most appropriate one.
CBD Vape
CBD vape, in the simplest of terms, is a device designed for vape CBD, including disposable vape and pod vape. They will heat and atomize the vape CBD through the atomizer, allowing clients to inhale more smoothly.
Pros: Convenience is definitely one of its advantages. Customers can enjoy it anytime, anywhere. CBD vape usually is mild, since the material is burned at a lower temperature, it has a higher bioavailability and can achieve a wide range of flavors through the addition of terpenes. Besides, according to research, the way of inhalation can make CBD dissolve in the blood faster, which will be a boon for customers who are searching for quick onset of effects.
Cons: For clients who want to know exactly how much CBD they are inhaling in each puff, CBD vapes may be a bit of a hassle. You’d better tell customers the total CBD dose per vape, which vape has thicker clouds, and how many puffs they can take. And CBD vapes come in various quality levels. You need to find a supplier with guaranteed quality.
CBD Flower
CBD flower often comes from the
hemp plant. It is dried buds taken from plants that were selectively bred to be
high in CBD and low in THC. It contains less than 0.3% THC which means it won’t
produce psychoactive effects.
Pros: CBD flower is the purest form of
CBD consumption, and it can be absorbed as quickly as CBD vape. It has all its
own natural terpenes and cannabinoids, with no added chemicals. In addition,
its flavor is stronger than any other, burning it can produce a lot of smoke.
Cons: Before smoking CBD flower, it is
always necessary to crush it first, which is excessively badly designed for
individuals who suddenly need a puff, and it is also not convenient to carry on
the go. The above-mentioned heavy smoke is not friendly to customers who like
mild flavors, and such a thick smoke is equivalent to declaring to everyone
around you that you are smoking hemp. In comparison to other products, its
storage is also a problem, you need to pay special attention to its condition.
It is also very critical to find a reliable supplier. According to different
planting environments, plants' CBD content will be different. It will be more
difficult to control the precise intake.
CBD Edibles
CBD edibles include gummies, dried
fruits, drinks, cakes, biscuits, chocolates, capsules, and so on. They are all
infused with CBD which is sourced from hemp and contains no more than 0.3% THC.
Pros: Even the most CBD-resistant
customers can enjoy CBD-infused edibles. If they don't like vapes, flowers,
oils, etc., adding CBD to their favorite foods is the best way to go. Edibles
containing CBD are often clearly labeled with dosages, and making them is so
easy.
Cons: As with any other food, you need
to be aware of the expiration date, and for some edibles, refrigeration may be
required to keep them fresh. At the same time, taking CBD by eating will take
longer to kick in, and the effect will likewise be in an unstable state due to
other food consumption.
CBD Tinctures
Tinctures refer to a highly
concentrated herbal extract of CBD that is made by steeping hemp flowers or
buds in alcohol, a mixture of alcohol and water, vegetable oil, or other
substances.
Pros: CBD Tinctures are second only to
vape in the speed of effect. Keep it under the tongue for 90 seconds to two
minutes and much of the tincture will be absorbed by the blood vessels in the
mouth. And they also have high bioavailability. With affordable prices and
healthy potential, you can encourage your clients to incorporate them into
their daily recipes.
Cons: Because of the way they are
extracted, they may leave behind some additives. And in order to mask their
unpalatable taste, flavorings are often added. All of these will be harmful to
your health. If they don't come with a dropper, your clients won't be able to
precisely measure the dose. Moreover, their effects are quick and short-lived,
which may not be enough for some clients.
CBD Topicals
CBD topicals are skin-applied
products that contain CBD oil, including CBD balm sticks, CBD topical roll-ons,
CBD creams, CBD lotions, CBD balms, and CBD salves.
Pros: Topicals are also a more
acceptable way to consume CBD. Whether you want to use them on the bus or the
subway, they will not look out of place in a backpack. They are suitable for
clients who only need a topical application for localized pain relief.
Cons: In contrast with other methods,
the absorption rate of CBD for external use is relatively low, so more CBD oil
will be needed in the product, which makes it more expensive than others.
What's worse, they can't bring about the effect of relieving mental stress and
may cause skin irritation.
To sum up, all consumption methods
have pros and cons. Before starting your CBD business, doing in-depth research
is particularly significant.
