About the CBD Flavor and Texture
Share
High quality CBD has a smooth, slightly oily texture that easily absorbs into the skin or dissolves under the tongue. The flavor is earthy and herbaceous, with subtle notes of nuttiness. Well-made CBD should not have an overpowering grassy or bitter taste. When consumed sublingually, the CBD oil is gently placed under the tongue using a dropper. After holding it there for 30-60 seconds to allow the cannabinoids to absorb through the mucous membranes and directly enter the bloodstream, the remaining oil is swallowed. Many people report a calm, relaxing body sensation setting in within 15-20 minutes. Alternatively, CBD can be ingested in capsule form or added to food and beverages. The effects take longer to set in when consumed this way, usually 45-90 minutes, as the CBD must pass through the digestive system first. Either way, the effects of a dose usually last 4-6 hours. With regular use, many find CBD helps instill a stable sense of tranquility, relaxation and wellbeing.
