The 5 Most Popular Ways To Consume CBD

5. Applying CBD Topical Creams

An increasingly popular form of administering medical cannabis is through the use of topicals applied directly to the skin.

Since dermal absorption does not produce any psychoactive side effects, this method is very popular with patients looking to avoid any sensation of being high. This means that even if there is some THC present in the CBD preparation, users won’t experience any psychoactive effects. Therefore, the CBD doesn’t have to be as “pure” as if you were taking it orally. This makes topicals a popular way to consume CBD oil you made yourself. Often, homebrew CBD oil still contains a significant amount of THC.

Cannabis topicals come in a variety of forms. The most popular are creams like lotions that you simply rub into your skin. This method is fantastic for using CBD to treat pain and inflammation-related symptoms.

Other topical products involve salves or patches that you wear for time-released doses of the medicine throughout the day.
