Simply put, any CBD product designed to be taken orally is considered an edible, including tinctures, drinks, elixirs, and breath sprays. CBD edibles are non-psychoactive, so they can be enjoyed anytime without worrying about feeling the psychoactive effects that THC induces. Take CBD edibles any time you feel like it. They’re a great addition to any day.

The phytocannabinoid CBD along with other cannabinoids and terpenes found in the hemp plant work with the human endocannabinoid system (ESC), which manages many bodily functions, like inflammation, pain, anxiety, and stress. CBD’s benefits come from its ability to bind to the CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the human body.

It depends on the type of edible you ingest. For example, edibles held under the tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing enter the body quickly through the mouth’s soft tissues. However, if you chew and swallow edibles, they must first be processed through the digestive system. Digestion can take 60 minutes or longer, depending on when you last ate a meal or if you have a slow metabolism. Something else to consider, products lower in milligrams will produce more modest effects than those higher in milligrams.
