How Long Does It Take For CBD To Work For Anxiety?
Cannabidiol or CBD is a cannabinoid compound found in the cannabis plant plant. It can be both extracted from marijuana or hemp plants. THC, another well known cannabinoid, is quite similar to CBD, but CBD does not have any psychoactive effects and won't cause intoxication while THC may cause you to feel "high" if used in high amounts. You may use CBD by dropping the oil under your tongue, give your body a massage, vaping or smoking CBD, to put in drinks, to consume as edibles or to mix with protein shakes after a workout session.
When CBD is introduced to your body it interacts with cannabinoid receptors in your brain or the endocannabinoid system which is a complex system that works directly with the nervous system, brain and other parts of the body. It helps to send signal to control pain, sleep, appetite, mood, stress and anxiety.
According to Anxiety and Depression Association of America it classifies anxiety as an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes. They claimed that around 40 million in America suffer from anxiety disorder and less than 37% of the people receive treatment for anxiety.
How long does it take for CBD to work for anxiety?
There is no definite way to answer this. CBD works differently for each individual. Some may feel the effects within minutes while some may take longer. The content and potency of the CBD products do play a role too in determining how effective CBD treatment goes.
Today, CBD products are available as edibles, vapes, capsules, CBD tinctures, topicals, hemp oil for cooking, cannabis flowers, CBD tea leaves or sprays. How you administer CBD into your body determines how quickly the CBD takes effect. For example, if you take CBD orally like with CBD oil, edibles or capsules it will take about 30 minutes to 2 hours for the effects from CBD to work while smoking or vaping CBD, the effects may be more immediate.
Do take note that smoking or vaping in public spaces is illegal in most areas. Traveling with vape is not permitted in many counties. On the other hand using CBD tinctures (oil) or edibles is more convenient to travel with. You can take CBD oil orally on the go. It is definitely more discreet. A good example of CBD oil is Mellow CBD Oil made from CBD isolate with pure CBD and no THC. But if you are looking for THC along with CBD and other cannabinoids to ensure that you received the complete entourage effect than we have Mellow Full Spectrum CBD Oil both available from Mellow Organic.
