Cannabidiol or CBD Oil is not a new name. It is a supplement that has revolutionized the world like nothing else! It has several health benefits, countless medicinal properties, and uses that continue to surprise us every day with their discovery. Amidst all this, there is also this addictive potential that makes the entire role of CBD Oil quite controversial. The intoxication and addictive properties of CBD Oil are what make it a topic of controversy for all the concerned authorities, and for its usage among the people. However, one thing is for sure – it is only the controlled usage and supervised intake of this wonderful concoction that is going to make its usage worth it for everyone. CBD oil is known for its use as a daily supplement however, many people are not aware that CBD oil is best used when dropped under the tongue. This is compared to using CBD edibles or dropping oil onto food or into a drink. When placed under the tongue the CBD oil is absorbed through the mucous membranes in the mouth, which allows it to directly enter the bloodstream and take effect quickly. In addition, taking CBD oil under the tongue bypasses the digestive system, which can reduce the effectiveness of CBD. This makes it an ideal option for those who have difficulty absorbing CBD through the digestive system or get indigestion from hemp-based edibles. In the preceding sections, you shall learn more about the usage of CBD Oil in this new manner; by putting it under your tongue. So, let us dive right into it, shall we? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT CBD DROPS UNDER THE TONGUE CBD oil is taken under the tongue for faster absorption into the bloodstream. This is in comparison to other forms of supplements which must pass through the digestive system before releasing their content. When taken under the tongue or ‘sublingually’ CBD oil bypasses the digestive system and liver metabolism, meaning it doesn’t have to be broken down before it can be used by the body. This way the oil is absorbed directly into the bloodstream and diffuses into the body’s systems more rapidly than other methods of ingestion. CBD oil is a popular choice for those seeking the supplement effects of cannabis without the psychoactive effects of THC. It is always made from hemp, a type of cannabis plant that contains very low levels of THC – trace amounts. HOW TO USE CBD OIL UNDER THE TONGUE To use CBD oil drops under tongue, start by shaking the bottle well. Then, use the dropper to place the desired amount of drops under your tongue. Hold the oil under your tongue for at least 90 seconds before swallowing any excess oil in your mouth. This allows the CBD to be absorbed into your bloodstream for the most effective supplementation results. HOW MANY DROPS SHOULD I TAKE? The amount of oil a person consumes every day is completely dependent on a number of factors – individual physiology, tolerance to CBD, the reason for use, experience using CBD and of course the concentration of product you choose. All Dr. Hemp Me products come with guided doses on the labels to help those starting out. The more concentrated the oil the less drops are needed per day.

The time it takes depends on the method of consumption, the amount consumed, and the individual. However, there is no real definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the individual‘s metabolism and the concentration of CBD in the product. Many people report feeling the effects of CBD within 15–20 minutes when taken sublingually (under the tongue). WHEN DO YOU TAKE? Drops of oil are best utilised by placing under the tongue every day. The consistent use of Cannabidiol is key to best practice as is the same with any other vitamin or mineral supplement on the market place. Some people like to take one dose per day while others prefer to split their dose in two and take twice in the day. Either way is ok, once you stick to the recommended dosage on the bottle in the beginning of your supplement experience. Morning or afternoon are ideal times to take Cannabidiol again the right time will depend on the person but try to avoid taking it right before bed. IS IT SAFE TO USE DAILY? CBD supplements are available in a variety of forms, including tinctures, capsules, edibles, topicals, and more. CBD oil is generally safe and well-tolerated, but it may cause side effects in some people. This supplement may interact with some medications, so it’s important to talk to your doctor before using it. IN A NUTSHELL CBD oil is absorbed quickly and efficiently when taken under the tongue, making it an ideal delivery method for most people who wish to utilize the most effective method of administration. Additionally, taking CBD oil under the tongue bypasses the digestive system, allowing for faster absorption and more bioavailability. So, why take CBD oil under the tongue? There are many reasons as stated in this article! CBD oil taken under the tongue is a fast, efficient, and convenient way to get your daily dose of CBD. REFERENCES Meissner H, Cascella M.

For a number of years now many people have turned their attention to CBD use and the ways in which its consumption may be beneficial. Needless to say, CBD and its oil have been proven to be a great power-packed supplement for all those who use it to the best of their abilities [1]. CBD Oil contains many healthy and nutritious components that ensure that your usage of this oil or any of its products turns out to be a worthy one for you in the long run [2]. However, with any product comes its sets of pros and cons. The same applies to CBD Oil as well. In this case, it is the intoxication and addiction potential that can cause problems for vulnerable people in the long run. So in this article, we shall discuss how CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system and whether or not a person may build up a tolerance for the substance when used over time. CBD Oil’s Interaction With The Body When CBD Oil gets introduced inside the body, it interacts with the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) of the body, which creates cannabinoids for the purpose of transmitting signals from the brain’s CB1 and CB2 receptors through both the nervous system and the immune system. CB1 receptors are found in the brain and throughout the body, but CB2, while also found to occur in the brain, is seen to be more concentrated in the body’s immune and gastrointestinal systems. Research has shown that when CBD interacts with these receptors, their capabilities are improved, thus improving the functionality of the receptors. What Is Tolerance? Tolerance can sometimes be mistakenly interpreted as being similar to addiction or dependence, the way a person might be addicted to tobacco or coffee. Tolerance in the literal sense, however, occurs when larger and larger amounts of a substance are required in order to experience the effects that were initially felt when taking that substance in small amounts. MORE READING: Could CBD Actually Be an Intoxicating Substance Can Users Develop Tolerance For CBD Oil? The short and straightforward answer is no. CBD tolerance is not something observed in common users of the substance. It is very different from other cannabinoids, like THC. People regularly become tolerant of THC due to how it interacts with CB1 receptors in the brain. When THC binds to these receptors,  it imitates endocannabinoids. This causes the Endocannabinoid System to sense potential overactivity, and so it down-regulates itself. Because of this, fewer endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid receptors are produced, thus making a user more tolerant of the substance, in this case, THC. After, a user will require larger and larger amounts to reach the same effects and become over-dependent. What Makes CBD Different? CBD has a more indirect interaction with these receptors and binds to them differently. When the receptors encounter CBD, they do not become desensitized as they do with THC, and so users will not get to a point where their body requires more the longer it’s used. Though research on CBD is still in relative infancy, what has been discovered so far seems very promising regarding whether a person will develop a tolerance for the substance if used over extended periods of time. Unlike cannabis, where long-term users will develop a THC tolerance, the evidence for CBD seems to point in the opposite direction. Studies and scientific research on CBD oil use suggest that a tolerance won’t be built and that if long-term use is carried out then the result may produce what is known as ‘Reverse Tolerance’. What Is Reverse Tolerance? ‘Reverse Tolerance’ is the phenomenon whereby the more exposed a person is to a particular substance, the less they ultimately need to feel its effects. Therefore, as time goes on users of CBD oil will require smaller and smaller amounts to do what formerly demanded more. How Is Reverse Tolerance Achieved? There are over a hundred different phytocannabinoids found in cannabis, one of which is CBD. Similar to endocannabinoids, both of these cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. Because CBD indirectly triggers cannabinoid receptors in the ECS without binding to them, over time this will enlarge the number of endocannabinoids naturally produced by your body. The higher the number of endocannabinoids, the less CBD oil is required to experience the benefits of a well-operating endocannabinoid system. Despite these discoveries, much more thorough research is required on CBD and its ability to achieve ‘Reverse Tolerance’. Because of this, it’s recommended that a user of CBD oil discover for themself how best to reach this stage. Regardless of the fact that CBD will not get you ‘high’, unlike substances high in THC content, users should begin their CBD use with a lower dosage to test out their tolerance levels. Over time the dosage should be incrementally increased. If you begin to feel a flattening of the effects despite still increasing the dose, this might indicate that you’ve developed a certain tolerance for CBD. At this point, it’s recommended that the dose ought to be lowered. The Best Way To Get Consistent CBD Results Now that we know users are unlikely to develop a tolerance for CBD – and may even experience ‘reverse tolerance’ – how are they to extract maximum benefit from its use? To best comprehend what effects CBD is having on your body, it’s recommended that users keep a detailed and daily record of their CBD use. This will include the following ways to make the most of this product: How much CBD was consumed The time at which it was taken What the concentration of CBD was The effects (if any) it had on both the physical body and the mind The form in which the CBD was consumed in CBD products are now available in an array of different forms(gummies, capsules, creams, oils, etc) so it is possible that different products may bring out different results. As such, users may have to spend some time tinkering with their dosage

The increase of cannabis use, as well as legalization across the world and the EU, has now given us more opportunity to get to know cannabinoids on a deeper and scientific level.

Amongst the many beneficial products that nature has blessed us with, Cannabidiol or CBD oil is among one of the most popular derivatives. It is not because of the long list of benefits that it has in store for our health and body, but also because of the potential uses that make it an ideal choice for people to consume it and save them from using expensive medicines. Cannabidiol is derived from the cannabis plant and is a popular hemp-derived supplement on the Irish and European market. Although it is considered to be relatively safe when consumed in limited quantities, one of the most common questions people ask is whether it is safe to drink alcohol after taking CBD oil. This question mainly sprouts because of the intoxicating effects of Cannabidiol oil. While there is no definitive answer to this question, because the effects vary from person to person. It is generally advised to wait for at least an hour before consuming alcohol after any intake of CBD oil. This will allow your body to metabolize the CBD oil and avoid any potential interactions between the two substances. How long after taking Cannabidiol drops should I wait before drinking alcohol? It is best advised not to consume both CBD oil and alcohol at the same time. The reason for this is that CBD oil can potentiate the effects of alcohol, which could lead to many side effects such as increased drowsiness and dry mouth, thus limiting your productivity. If you really wish to consume alcohol after taking CBD oil, it is recommended that you wait at least 2 hours before doing so to be extra safe. How Will Consuming CBD Oil And Alcohol Affect My Alcohol Tolerance? CBD oil may affect your alcohol tolerance in many different ways. Firstly, CBD oil can increase your blood alcohol levels. This occurs because CBD oil can increase the amount of alcohol in your blood. Second, CBD oil can decrease your alcohol tolerance. This is because CBD oil can decrease the amount of alcohol that your body can metabolize. Finally, CBD oil can increase the effects of alcohol in some cases. This is because CBD oil can increase the amount of alcohol that your body absorbs. Others, however, would argue that CBD helps with the negative effects of alcohol, so it is best to see for yourself! How Long Does CBD Oil Stay In My System? CBD oil can stay in your system for up to 5 days, but this depends on a number of factors, including: How much CBD oil you took Your body weight Your metabolism How often you take CBD oil If you take a small dose of CBD oil, it is likely to stay in your system for a shorter period of time than if you take a large dose. More Reading: How Does CBD Oil Taste? Can I Drink Alcohol While Taking Hemp Supplements? Most people who take CBD supplements derived from hemp also drink alcohol out of habit. It is best however not to do so at the exact same time as this may cause both substances to influence the effects of the other. As mentioned earlier, ideally a 2-hour gap after hemp supplement use is sufficient enough for someone to consume alcohol. What are the Benefits of taking CBD? Benefits or health claims cannot be made by those selling CBD products in Ireland, the UK or across greater Europe in most countries. This is because CBD is categorised as a food supplement and is not considered medicinal under law. Reviews and testimonials from CBD users can be found online but cannot be used for marketing purposes due to the regulatory status of Cannabidiol and hemp. How Does It Interact With Alcohol? CBD oil and alcohol may interact in a way that could cause drowsiness or sleepiness but it is not certain or guaranteed. All people vary in tolerances to supplements including CBD and alcohol. The amount of both substances consumed by the person will also have a greater effect on the level of interaction between them. What Are The Side Effects? CBD oil can interact with other medications, so it is best to talk to your doctor before taking CBD oil. CBD oil can cause dry mouth, so it is best to drink plenty of water while using it. CBD oil can cause gastrointestinal upset for some people with sensitive stomachs, so it is best to take it with food. CBD oil is non-intoxicating, meaning it will not make you feel “high” like THC-containing cannabis (the marijuana variety of cannabis). CBD oil is typically taken orally, but can also be added to food and beverages. The effects of CBD oil can vary depending on the person and the dosage. How Long Does It Take For This Compound To Take Effect? It depends on a few things: the type of CBD oil you’re taking, the dosage, and your individual physiology. No effects are guaranteed and no health claims can be made about such products. CBD oil can be taken in a few different ways: sublingually (under the tongue), orally, or topically. The sublingual method is generally the fastest method of absorbing of CBD drops into the body as it bypasses the digestive system and enters the bloodstream directly. This is in contrast to taking a capsule or pill infused with Cannabidiol which like other forms of supplements (vitamins, minerals) must pass through digestion first. How Long Does CBD Oil Last? CBD oil can last for a very long time when stored properly. The shelf life of CBD oil is estimated to be around two years, although it can last longer if it is stored in a cool, dark place. After opening, CBD oil should be used within six months. If you are unsure about the freshness of your CBD oil, it is best to check with the manufacturer. References

CBD oil is becoming increasingly popular as a natural supplement for a variety of reasons, but is it really safe? If it is really safe, then how much safe is it for us to consume it without any worries of overdosing it? CBD oil is generally considered to be safe, but there are a few potential side effects that people need to be aware of, if they want to steer clear from the harmful effects of CBD oil and prevent it from causing more damage than good. In most cases, CBD oil is well tolerated and produces no serious side effects. However, some people may experience mild side effects such as drowsiness, dry mouth, or changes in appetite but in most cases, none at all. CBD Oil: Is It Safe? Yes, CBD oil is safe. CBD oil is made from the hemp plant, which contains very low levels of THC, the compound that causes the “high” associated with marijuana. CBD oil does not produce any psychoactive effects and is not addictive. On our shop page you will find all CBD products have accompanying laboratory test results displayed for customers to review.

That is why Dr. Hemp Me test 3 different ways to ensure the cleanest and safest supplements for our customers. Different Cannabidiol Supplements Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a compound found in cannabis sativa (hemp) that can be used as a daily food supplement.   One of the most important things to keep in mind when using CBD is that every individual will react differently to it. What works for one person may not work for another, and it’s important to find the right dosage and delivery method that works for you. This is why product testing is so important. CBD is available in a variety of forms, including oils, capsules, edibles, and topical creams. Different delivery methods will result in different effects. For example, CBD that is inhaled (via vaporisation) will have a quicker and more potent effect than CBD that is ingested (in the form of an edible). Finding the right delivery method is one of the most important aspects of using CBD. Once you have found a delivery method that works for you, it’s important to start with a low dosage and increase gradually as needed. If you’re new to CBD, it’s important to remember that it may take a few tries to find the right product and dosage that works for you. Don’t get discouraged if your first attempt doesn’t work out – keep testing until you find a CBD product and dosage that works for you. Read More: Why is CBD Oil so Expensive? Is it Safe for Pets?

If you have heard raving reviews and experiences about Cannabidiol or CBD Oil, then chances are that you are already waiting for the perfect opportunity to try out your luck with this helpful and beneficial product. After all, not everyone could be lying about the never-ending list of benefits that it has in store for us. However, the idea of using CBD oil can be scary enough with all the paranoia and stigma surrounding it without knowing how to use it properly. As a first-time user, you may be unsure how much CBD oil to take in a single dose, how often to take it, or where to apply it. To resolve that issue, here is a detailed guide on how to take CBD oil and other forms of CBD supplements. It might surprise you to learn just how many ways you can take CBD. Overview All the products discussed in this article are Cannabis CBD supplements only. CBD is a cannabinoid derived from the non-toxic member of the cannabis plant family. (1) CBD oils and drops which are permitted as food supplements come from the hemp plant as it primarily contains non-toxic compounds like CBD or cannabidiol and others like THC but in trace amounts only. You may hear a lot about the use of the cannabis plant and CBD to combat symptoms of health concerns like stress, sleep issues, arthritis, and pain. However, it must be noted that an insufficient number of research studies with results have been carried out as of today to confirm such health benefits as factual. How Can I Use CBD Oil Or Add It To My Diet? One of the easiest and most common ways to take CBD oil is through an oral CBD oil tincture. This method is simple and fast-acting due to its properties as a product. To use an oral tincture or bottle of oil: Fill the dropper to about one-third of the way full Put a few drops of CBD oil beneath your tongue (The reason why you take oral tinctures sublingually is because there are many minute capillaries near the surface of your skin under your tongue. CBD oil can be more easily absorbed into the bloodstream due to the proximity of these capillaries, whereas absorption through digestion is a much slower process) Let the oil sit under your tongue for about 90 seconds before swallowing; this gives your body ample time to absorb it. CBD oil can also be added to food or used topically. As it is an oil, there is no limit to what food you can add it to. Adding CBD oil to food is not as effective or fast-acting as taking it sublingually, but it can be more pleasant if you dislike the taste or feeling of taking it orally. Research has shown that up to 50% of the CBD can be lost in the digestive system meaning it is 50% less effective when digested. (2) Additionally, you can apply it directly to problem areas topically and let your body absorb it through the skin. This method is also not as potent as taking it sublingually, but it does bring faster relief to the specific area you apply it to. If you are still unsure about taking CBD oil along with other medications then you are best to speak with your doctor first. Whatever way you choose to take CBD into your body just remember that it should be a quality product and taken daily like any other vitamins, minerals, or multivitamins you add to your diet. CBD Oil For Pets And Its Dosage Just like how CBD Oil is used for human beings, it is often also used for pets as well. (3) There are several methods for delivering CBD oil to pets, a few of which have been discussed here: Method 1 The most foolproof technique is to simply add it to their food intake. Work out the dosage and add it to their wet food or foods like treats they may get during the day. Start with a small amount first; if they don’t mind the taste, keep adding more until you reach the correct dosage. Method 2 The second method to give pets CBD oil is to give it to them orally. This method is extremely dependent on if your pet is willing to cooperate. Gently hold their mouth open and deliver the dose with a dropper. If they are agreeable, they will merely swallow it. Reward them with a treat after to ensure they continue this good behavior. Another useful method that you can use if your pet is fussy is to add CBD oil to treats. Use porous treats that absorb the oil well, or buy pre-made CBD treats. This way, your pet will enjoy taking CBD and see it as a reward. Other Methods Of Consuming Cannabidiol While CBD oil remains the most popular form of CBD consumption due to its versatility and relatively low price, there has been a recent rise in the variety of CBD products available on the market. Other CBD products tend to be more expensive than CBD oil as more ingredients and processing go into making them. However, the convenience they provide is often worth the price to many people. While you can take CBD oil through several different means, not everyone enjoys how it tastes, feels, or the application process. If you have mobility issues, poor eyesight, or just bad coordination, using a dropper can be pretty tough. Many people prefer to avoid this method and skip right to edibles, creams, and capsules. With more and more people taking CBD, producers have risen to the challenge of finding a form to suit every person’s tastes. Here are a few of the most popular forms CBD can take and how to use them. CBD Gummies CBD gummies are one of the most enjoyable ways to receive your daily dose of CBD. To take a CBD gummy, you need only chew
