How To Understand the Different Kinds of CBD Oil: A Helpful Guide

April 12, 2020 / by Andrew / Leave a Comment

14% of Americans use some kind of CBD product. While that may not seem like such a high number, the industry is growing at an explosive rate, meaning more and more people are getting into CBD.

Maybe you’ve heard about what CBD can potentially do, and you’re curious to see what benefits you can reap from it. But where do you even start?

In this article, we’ll show you what the different kinds of CBD oil are and which you should use.

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil comes from CBD, or cannabidiol. This is found in cannabis plants and is a type of cannabinoid.

In cannabis plants, there are over 100 cannabinoids, including THC. THC is the active compound in marijuana, which is what gives the “high” effect when people partake in it.

CBD oil has exploded in popularity because you can reap the same effects from it as you can with marijuana, but without getting high.

How Does It Work?

Every single living organism has an endocannabinoid system. It’s responsible for a number of things, including pain, inflammation, mood, appetite, and more.

In this system, there are cannabinoid receptors; in humans, there are 2 main ones. While our body produces 2 key endocannabinoids on its own, we can also process them from outer sources, such as cannabis.

While there needs to be more research done on CBD and its effects for us, it seems to be quite promising for things like relieving pain, reducing inflammation, improving appetites, and even decreasing acne.

The Different Kinds of CBD Oil

You might think there’s just one type of CBD oil available on the market, but actually, there are 3: isolate, full-spectrum, and broad-spectrum. The type you choose will depend on what exactly you wish to achieve.

Read on to find out more about each.

Isolate

As the name suggests, isolate CBD oil is where you only get CBD in the product, nothing else. It’s usually labeled as 99% pure CBD.

In the extraction process, all other cannabinoids and extra compounds (like terpenes and flavonoids) are removed. This gives you a higher concentration of CBD and no traces of THC, which is ideal if you need to go through drug tests at work.

Full-Spectrum

Full-spectrum CBD oil has everything else in it. This includes over 100 cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and even vitamins and minerals.

People enjoy full-spectrum CBD oil because they get the entourage effect. This is the theory that all these compounds work to amplify one another, which means you get more health benefits.

Broad-Spectrum

Broad-spectrum is similar to full-spectrum, but with one key difference: there’s no THC. This product can be beneficial if you want to reap the benefits of the entourage effect but don’t want to fail drug tests at work.

How to Take CBD Oil

Not only are there different kinds of CBD oil, but there are various ways you can ingest it. Here are some of the most common ways you can take CBD oil.

Smoke or Vape

These are the most common ways people ingest CBD oil. You can buy waxes to do so.

You’ll feel the effects quickest with these 2 methods since they’ll enter your bloodstream almost immediately. However, they’re not the most discreet methods.

Tinctures

In this method, you place several drops of CBD oil underneath your tongue and hold it there for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Then, you swallow the oil.

This is a more discreet method of taking CBD oil, but it’ll take a little longer to feel the effects. It can take around 30 minutes, but it’ll last longer; with smoking and vaping, you’ll need to keep inhaling frequently to keep feeling the effects.

Edibles

Just like with marijuana, you can make edibles out of CBD oil. From gummies and baked goods to capsules, CBD oil can be found in various edible forms.

This method takes the longest to take effect, as you’ll need to digest the edibles. However, you’ll feel the effects for the longest with edibles as well. Plus, it’s a pretty discreet way to take CBD oil.

Topicals

Last, but not least, there are topicals, such as creams, lotions, and balms. Simply rub the topical where you need it, such as your forehead when you have a headache. Or you can rub it into a sore muscle.

This can take some time to take effect, but you can apply as much cream or lotion as you want to get the proper pain relief you need.

Like many other delivery methods on this list, topicals are a pretty discreet way to use CBD oil.

Where Can I Get CBD Oil?

You can always go to local CBD oil shops, which are usually health and wellness shops as well. Just Google “CBD oil for sale near me” and you should get a decent page of results. You can then sort based on reviews and choose the shop that seems the most reputable.

However, if you’d rather have it delivered to you, there are plenty of online CBD oil retailers as well. You can even get great discounts, such as coupons from cbdoilusers.com.

Get Relief From Your Ailments With CBD Oil

Now that you know what CBD oil is, the different kinds of CBD oil available, and how to take it, hopefully, this has given you some confidence in the product.

As always, if you’re going to be adding any sort of supplement or medication to your regimen (even CBD oil), you need to let your doctor know. There might be interactions, so get the green light from them first to ensure you stay safe while taking or stopping any prescriptions.
