CBD has officially entered the mainstream, but once you've made the decision to give it a try, there's a new question on the table: What form should you buy from a CBD smoke shop?
Oils, gummies, capsules—each works, just in a different way. The truth is, one size fits all does not apply. It's really about how you want to feel, when you want to feel it, and how active you want to be.
Let's take it apart.
CBD Oil: For the Customizers
CBD oil (or tincture) is OG because it's fast, easy, and easy to dial in. You simply squeeze the dropper, place it under your tongue, hold it for a second or two, and you're good to go.
Best For;
- Those who desire faster outcomes
- Individuals who enjoy controlling their dose
- People who don't mind a bit "earthy" taste
What to Expect
Since oil is being absorbed by sublingual blood vessels, you can already feel the effect within 15 to 30 minutes. It's best if you need to adjust your experience in the daytime.
A word of warning – the flavor may not appeal to you. Some of the oils contain added flavor, but the hemp flavor dominates.
CBD Gummies: For the Taste Buds
If you enjoy your wellness routine to be indulgent, gummies might be the way to go. Gummies are soft, chewy morsels that come in all the flavors of fruit and dosing up is as easy as taking one or two.
Best For;
- Immigrants
- Individuals seeking a more flavorful alternative
- Who want a low-key, mess-free experience
What to Expect
Since gummies are digested, they are slower to take effect—around 45 minutes to an hour. However, the effects last longer than oils. Perfect for relaxing evenings, after-work rest, or relaxing before bed.
And they're travel-friendly and easy to stash in your bag or desk drawer. They are available for purchase at a CBD smoke shop.
CBD Capsules: For the No-Fuss Crowd
Capsules are as simple as it comes. No taste. No measuring. Just take a glass of water and you're ready to go. They provide steady doses and are perfect for individuals who are accustomed to supplement taking.
Best For;
- People who want a plain, day-to-day life
- Individuals who dislike the taste or consistency of oils
- Users who prefer consistency
What to Expect
Just like gummies, capsules are broken down in your body and thus their effects take 30–60 minutes to kick in. They are, however, consistent and smooth, making them perfect for continuous, regular use.
They even look and feel like a normal wellness supplement—perfect for people who don't feel like calling attention to themselves with CBD.
Which One's Right for You?
The choice is yours. Need something quick and simple? Oil's the ticket. Want something tasty and fun? Gummies are your solution. Desire a tidy, no-nonsense regimen? Capsules daily. And all these product variants can be found at a CBD smoke shop.
And for the curious: there is no law that you can only take one. Some do a capsule in the morning, a little oil at noon, and a gummy at night. Your health—build it your way.
