CBD Tinctures

CBD oils can be dropped into the mouth and swallowed. Note that it can take 1 to 2 hours for an oil to take effect when you ingest it this way because it has to work its way through the digestive system.

CBD oils and tinctures are taken by dripping a couple of drops under the tongue though some people add CBD oils and tinctures to foods and drinks for oral ingestion.

There is still a lot of skepticism around whether CBD is psychoactive but you don't have to worry. Unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive and any THC residues from the processing of hemp are present at a negligible level, so won’t have a psychoactive effect.

The World Health Organisation’s 2018 Critical Review Report on CBD states that CBD is generally well tolerated with a good safety profile. CBD is not intended for use by persons under the age of 18. If someone is pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision, they should consult a doctor or healthcare professional before use.

But isn't CBD addictive? The World Health Organisation’s 2018 Critical Review Report on CBD stated that to that date, there is no evidence of recreational use of CBD or any public health-related problems associated with its use.
