How long does it take for a dry herb vape to work?
Asked 4 years ago
I have ADHD, anxiety, and awful medication crashes in the evenings. I want to start taking CBD, but I've got no idea where to start! From my research, I have found that vape is the quickest to get into the system? How accurate are my findings, and are there any recommendations?

Unfortunately, anxiety is part of your life and it gets out of your hands sometimes. To deal with the stress and anxiety in life, many people are taking the root of CBR. If you are not fond of taking CBR oil, then vaping could be an alternative. Vaping is a great choice, but studies have shown that it's still not as effective as taking CBR oil through the tongue. If you want to try vaping then let's get into details.
First, CBD goes to your lungs and then spreads in your body through the bloodstream. One downside of vaping is that you don't get the full benefit of CBR because only 50-80% of CBR go inside your body when you inhale it. Therefore, there is a notable difference in results while vaping. However, it starts to hit quicker than normal CBR intake, usually within a couple of minutes. Contrastingly, CBR oil would take nearly 20 minutes to feel the effect. You might feel it right away, but there it doesn't last more than one to two hours, and it widely depends on the strength you are taking. On the other hand, if you take CBR through your tongue, then it could last around ten hours, which is certainly more beneficial to fight anxiety.

The short answer to your question is that vaping is the quickest way to experience the effects of CBD because your lungs can transfer the compound directly into your bloodstream, which is the fastest route to your brain and thus would only take a few minutes.
However, it's more complicated than that due to the way our bodies process and filter substances. Our lungs aren't 100% effective in absorbing all of what we inhale, so you're already losing some of the CBD right off the bat. In addition, because of the fast absorption into your bloodstream, the duration of the effect is going to be much shorter than alternative methods of CBD ingestion, potentially only a few hours.
A more effective method of taking CBD would be ingesting it orally by mixing the CBD oil with beverages or just taking it straight. Your body's metabolic system is much slower than its respiratory system, and so while you may take longer to feel the initial effects of CBD this way, they will last much longer, potentially up to 8 hours.
Finally, if you want the best effects of both, utilise sublingual methods where you hold some of the CBD oil or tincture under your tongue and allow it to absorb into the bloodstream through the surrounding tissue. Quicker than ingestion and longer-lasting than inhalation.
