Knowing how long CBD will stay in your system is important in planning your dosage schedule. When you know how long it will last, you can calculate the number of doses to take throughout the day. The period that CBD will stay in your system will depend on the methods you use.
1. Inhalation
Inhalation will last anywhere between one to our hours for most individuals. Therefore, when you vaporize or smoke the product, it will last anywhere between one to four hours. From four hours onwards you can take another dose if you need to use it.
2. Sublingual
If you use the sublingual method, you might have to wait one to six hours before you take another dose. Most of the CBD you take sublingually is absorbed in the mouth, while a small percentage is absorbed in the digestive tract. That is sublingual intake comes second in terms of the fastest route of absorption. The faster the CBD is absorbed, the less the time it stays in the system.
3. Ingestion
It takes the longest for the effects of CBD taken via ingestion to show. On the brighter side, its effect also lasts the longest. That is why people like using it. The effects last between six to eight hours.
4. Topically
The time it takes for topical application to take effect is not clearly known. The advantage is that it can be applied quite liberally. You will not suffer any side effects even if you apply a lot of the cream or lotion. Begin with a small amount so that you don’t waste it. Over time, you will figure out the exact amount that is necessary to yield the desired results.
How long it lasts also depends on the person
Some individuals rarely have to redoes; take one dose in the morning and they are good for the day. Other people have to take it regularly throughout the day for the effects to stick. The good thing about CBD is that it is generally safe, so you can experiment severally before you settle for the right amount.
