If you’ve made your way here, then chances are you have a developed an interest in understanding what CBD is. But this question seldom comes alone: Will CBD get me high? What are the benefits of taking it?
You probably keep running into the term “Cannabinoid”, this is just a short way of calling components that are unique to the Cannabis plant. There are over a hundred cannabinoids identified so far, probably the two most well-known are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). In wild Cannabis plants THC and CBD may be found in roughly similar amounts. Over the years the main use of cannabis has been recreational, and this has played a role in elevating the content of THC in domestically farmed plants, making CBD a rather valuable component.
In short, CBD is a naturally occurring substance found in the cannabis plant. It is used in different products from oils to edibles and its use is meant to help with relaxation, anxiety control and pain relief, amongst others. Contrary to its relative THC, it does not act as a psychoactive substance, meaning you will not get “high” with CBD.
Why Hard Candy is better when consuming CBD.
Direct Absorption: Slowly absorbing hard candy under your tongue ironically makes for a more efficient way of receiving the benefits from CBD. This is due to the fast absorption rate provided by the ‘sublingual’ blood vessels in comparison to that of the digestive tract.
Simplicity: Unlike salves, oils and pomades, hard candy is something you can carry anywhere without having to worry about spilling or stickiness.
Legal Flexibility: There are some states where vaping is still allowed indoors, but even then, it does not feel quite comfortable to pop out your vape pen in the office, does it? With hard candy this is not an issue.
Taste: With a wide variety of flavors, hard candy provides options when it comes to choosing your product.
