How long does CBD work in the body?

How long CBD works in the body depends on the specificity of the individual's body as well as many factors. Among them you can distinguish:

• amount of CBD that has been delivered to the body. The more, the substance remains in the blood longer. Likewise, if you take a smaller dose, the effect will be shorter after ingestion.
• The method of delivery of CBD - in this case the situation is similar to the time of action. Different methods result in a different absorption time and action,
• Dosing frequency - the duration of the action also depends on the frequency of taking the substance. One-time or irregular consumption - every now and then - allows CBD to stay in the bloodstream for 2 to 5 days. However, if you take CBD regularly, this time can be extended by up to 10 days.
• Individual predispositions, i.e. the most diverse factor. How long CBD lasts in the body largely depends on the individual. The same dose, taken by two people who are significantly different in their lifestyle, weight, and even gender, will persist in their blood to varying degrees.

How long does CBD stay in the blood?

To find out how much CBD remains in your blood, consider how you ingest the substance as well. Generally, it can be assumed that the average residence time of CBD in the blood is 2 to 5 days. The exact values ​​depending on oral consumption or inhalation are given below:

• Vaporizing CBD - This is the fastest way as the smoke that reaches the lungs is immediately absorbed into the bloodstream. The duration of action of CBD in this case ranges from 30 minutes to 4 hours.
• CBD oils - this method of taking cannabidiol is considered the most popular. Applying the oil under the tongue also allows CBD to enter the bloodstream quickly. The sublingual space is characterized by a rich blood supply, hence its effectiveness. At Vaporshop you will find, for example, CBD Spectral oils in various concentrations, the duration of which is similar and ranges from 3 to 6 hours.
• Ointments, CBD creams - intended for topical application to the skin. Due to the fact that they have to be absorbed first, the effects start to be visible even 2 hours after application. The activation time is quite long, but it translates into long operation, up to 12 hours. An example may be Cannaderm products, which are an effective weapon in the fight against acne and other skin problems.
• Food products with CBD, such as lollipops, candies, chocolate, etc. In this case, the effects appear a little later, i.e. about an hour after consumption. This is because the product must reach the liver to enter the bloodstream. The operating time is 4 to 6 hours.
• CBD capsules and tea - they work in a similar way to food products, so they must first get to the liver. Therefore, the effects after consuming these products are visible about an hour after drinking or swallowing. The results may appear faster when the substance is ingested on an empty stomach. The operating time is 6 to 8 hours in this case.

As you can see, the residence time of CBD in the body varies greatly. Factors that influence this aspect mainly concern individual characteristics: metabolism, weight, as well as the ways of taking the substance and the great dose taken. If you want cannabidiol to work quickly, it's best to opt for vaporization or oral products such as CBD oils. Due to the fact that the space under the tongue is well supplied with blood, the substance quickly enters the bloodstream and starts working.
