CBD paste and how to take it

What is CBD paste

The paste is a thick and soft sticky substance that, besides CBD, contains oils, waxes, or butter. CBD paste is a multipurpose formulation that is usually high in CBD concentration.

CBD paste is usually sold in a syringe as, due to its consistency, the paste is difficult to use with a dropper. At the same time, a syringe allows using the product easily in precise dosages.

Some manufacturers insist that CBD paste has a more condensed finish and it is full of the pure hemp extract.

The paste is available in a range of strengths from 20 % to 30 % CBD. Also, in the market, one can buy such products in different sizes from 1 g to 10 g.

One can also produce CBD paste at home, for this one will need a jar, some coconut oil, some cannabis buds that are low in THC. CBD paste differs from other CBD products, and it possesses several potential benefits as well as risks and side effects that any user must be familiar with.

How to take CBD paste

Here are the most popular ways to take CBD paste:

Under the tongue

Place a small amount of CBD paste under your tongue. This area is rich in blood vessels, and separating membranes are very thin there. The saliva helps bring CBD into the blood. Usually, it takes 15-25 minutes to feel the effect.

With food

Mix CBD paste with your favourite food. As the paste is a highly fatty substance, it does not mix well with many foods. The best way to use it is to mix it with hot food or blend into butter and spread on bread or crackers. This way is suitable for people who do not like CBD flavour and want to mask it.

As it is

If you are not against specific CBD taste, put the paste on your tongue and swallow it. You may need some water to take it. But remember when ingesting CBD, that no more than 20 % of its useful substances come through your digestive system and bring benefits to your body.

Make capsules

The paste is a great product to make your CBD capsules. Use readymade empty shells and fill them with a small amount of paste. This method is suitable for people who do not like CBD flavour, and also it helps to take equal dosages all the time.

Insert it rectally

Insert rectally a small amount of paste as this area is also rich in blood vessels. In some cases, almost 50 % of CBD useful substances will reach your bloodstream and bring a number of positive effects you expect.
