In an attempt to understand CBD edibles, it’s common to think, “What’s the deal with CBD edibles?
There are several CBD products on the market these days, but CBD edibles have been around for quite some time.
Nonetheless, you still have questions about CBD edibles in general, and we’re here to help.
Let’s dive in, starting with the basics, working our way into the good stuff.

CBD Basics

A man laying down on the grassCBD comes from the cannabis Sativa plant and contains less than 0.3% THC. With such a small amount of THC, there are no intoxicating, psychoactive effects to worry about.
This makes for a tremendous selling point since some people struggle with the effects of THC.
There are over 100 cannabinoids in the hemp plant, and they all have their unique benefits.
CBD is well known for producing calming, therapeutic effects with a broad range of benefits.** However, there are other cannabinoids like CBG, CBN, THCA, and CBDA. Not to mention the other researchers are still learning about.
These compounds are blended and combined with other high-quality ingredients to make a wide range of CBD products, including CBD edibles.

What are CBD Edibles?

By now, you’ve gathered CBD edibles are edible supplements that are infused with a high-quality blend of CBD. However, many people aren’t aware that edibles date back to 10th century India, used in Bhang ceremonies and traditions.
You’ll see CBD edibles made with full spectrum, broad spectrum, and CBD isolate. If you opt for a full spectrum option, you get whole-plant benefits stemming from the broad cannabinoid profile still present in the oil.
This type of edible supplement allows for the entourage effect since the trace amounts (less than 0.3%) are still in the oil and can work synergistically with the other cannabinoids.
CBD edibles with broad spectrum oil still offer some of those synergistic effects, but at a lower level since detectable trace amounts of THC have been removed from broad spectrum oil.
If you choose CBD isolate, it’s 99% pure CBD. This is an excellent option for those who strictly want CBD—nothing more, nothing less.

How to Use CBD Cookies

The trick to properly use CBD edibles is to start with a small serving. CBD edibles are on the lower-end of absorption rates, ranking in at the lower-end of bioavailability rates.
When ingested, CBD edibles have to pass through the digestive tract before absorbing into the bloodstream.
Some of the concentration gets lost during this journey, so it’s helpful to take the necessary time to see how the effects pan out compared to your expectations.
It can take anywhere from 30 minutes up to three hours to feel CBD edibles' effects, with those effects lasting anywhere from four to six hours.
CBD is a personalized experience, taking notes from our unique, identifying factors like age, weight, metabolism, and genetics.
These personal factors influence the amount of time it takes for the CBD to absorb into your bloodstream—some faster than others. You can turn to CBD edibles when you want to kick back and relax at the house or any other time you need to take the edge off.**
When it comes to the latter, smaller amounts of CBD can take the edge off while increasing focus and concentration.**

Where to Buy High-Quality CBD Edibles

CBD is everywhere these days, but this doesn’t mean you should buy it anywhere.
When shopping for quality edibles, you want to look at companies with a long-standing reputation for purity and quality. One of the first things you should look for is an indication that they utilize organic farming techniques.
Hemp is a bioaccumulator, meaning it soaks up everything in the surrounding soil, good and bad. So if a company doesn't use organic farming techniques, pesticides, heavy metals, and toxins seep into the plant's roots, making their way through the entire plant.
When you’re checking out prospective companies, you should be able to locate some reference of this information and see an indication of third-party lab testing.
Lab results show you the actual concentration of their products and any harmful chemicals, toxins, pesticides, or heavy metals in the product.
