A Guide to Edible CBD: Its Uses, Forms, & Effects

When it comes to edible CBD options, there are certainly a lot out there to choose from including gummies, taffy, and even peanut butter. However, if you’re new to CBD or just want to learn more, What’s Your Treat has collected some important information for you here!

How Does Edible CBD Work?

In the simplest sense, edible CBD works by interacting with, and supporting your body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for maintaining your mood, energy, stress levels, and much more. Ingesting CBD has been reported to help jumpstart your body’s defenses and naturally boosts the endocannabinoids already produced within it. However, much more scientific research is needed to study the benefits of edible CBD’s effects in supporting health and wellness.

What is Edible CBD?

Edible CBD comes in many forms and can range anywhere from candy with the CBD compound to brownies and more. Because the compound can be so easily infused into edibles, many prefer edibles over alternative methods. It can even be added to beverages for those who prefer that manner of consumption. CBD, once ingested, enters your bloodstream, and directly interacts with your ECS, almost like a vitamin, and many users have reported benefits such as increased concentration, an elevated mood, stress relief, improved energy, and a better night’s sleep.

Different Types & Dosages of CBD Edibles

As mentioned above, edible CBD comes in many different forms and some of the most popular include gummies, oil, tinctures, salves, drinks, cookies, mints, taffy, and much more. When it comes to trying edible CBD for the first time, paying close attention to the dosage of the product you’re consuming is key. It’s always recommended to start slowly with a small dose until you reach a level you’re comfortable with. For example, if a pack of taffy contains 500mg of CBD, begin by taking a dose of 25mg and see how you feel.

Keep in mind that unlike smoking cannabis, the effects of edibles take longer to kick in since they need to be digested, often anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, so wait before taking more.
