What Is CBD?

CBD is Cannabidiol in full, a component that naturally occurs in the cannabis plant. Bowen et al. (2021) state that it is extracted from hemp using Carbon Dioxide and processed into different products consumed differently. CBD is the second-largest naturally occurring compound of cannabis after THC.THC refers to Tetrahydrocannabidiol, a compound that causes one to feel 'high after taking it. CBD is obtained in its purest form during processing after all cannabidiols and impurities have been removed. It is popular among many people today, and it is used for its benefits, like relieving pain and relaxing the mind.

Types Of CBD

Pamplona, Da Silva, & Coan (2018) thatCBD is majorly found in three forms or types. These are CBD Isolate, Full-spectrum CBD, and Broad-spectrum CBD.CBD Isolate is the purest form of CBD, with no particular taste or smell, and does not contain THC. It is found in crystalline or solid form.The Full-spectrum CBD contains naturally occurring Cannabidiol and retains flavonoids and terpenes. It also contains THC but is below 0.3 percent. If onewants to feel high, look for Full-spectrum CBD-based products. The Broad-spectrum CBD has naturally existing compounds like terpenes and flavonoids but lacks THC. With the increasing number of dealers of CBD, one has to be careful and research deeply about the particular brand they want before purchasing or buying.

How To Consume CBD

CBD is consumed in various ways, as explained by McFadden & Malone (2021). There is CBD Sublingual, which is taken by putting the CBD oil beneath the tongue to be absorbed by the mucus membrane. A percentage is absorbed while some remain in the mouth, and onehas to swallow. CBD is absorbed both through the mucus membrane and the digestive system. It is one of the fastest ways of taking in CBD Oil. CBD Topical is another way of consuming CBD, and it involves applying CBD on the skin and is absorbed through the skin. Another way is by use of capsules. These capsules contain CBD oil, and once ingested, they are passed through the digestive system before being absorbed. CBD is also taken in sweet treats. It involves incorporating CBD into cookies and cakes, caramel, and gummies. CBD mixes well with fat making it easier to be incorporated.

What is Vaping?

According to McNeill et al. (2021), vaping is another way of taking in CBD. It is known as Vape juice and is made from CBD Isolate, the purest form of CBD. It is a fast way of consuming CBD, and it comes in different flavors that are smoked from vape pens. The Vape pens are easy to carry around.There are two major types of vapes which are disposable and refillable.The disposable is ready to smoke, and once it is finished, an individualthrows away the container.

On the other hand, the refillable makes it possible for one to mix different flavors and refill once the original CBD content is finished. One has to clean the refillable tank from time to time and recharge it once the battery runs low. Vaping is a quick way of consumption as the smoke is absorbed into the lungs and then into the bloodstream without passing through the digestive system. It is very popular, and some try to use it to curb Nicotine addiction.
