As we welcome the year 2022, it’s expected that there will be a significant increase in research and innovation surrounding cannabinoids. With this comes the increased popularity of ways to consume them – namely CBD (cannabidiol). This article explores some of the most popular cannabinoid delivery methods others have come up with, which you will see at least several of in 2022 and the years to come.
Eating CBD edibles
Another common way to consume CBD is by eating it. There are many different ways that you can get your daily dose of CBD through edibles such as gummies, candies, and baked goods. You can even get your CBD dose from the drinks at bars and restaurants! These drinks often include various types of alcohol, water, and other mixers along with flavors like mango or mint which are commonly found in nature.
Due to the low risk associated with consuming CBD orally, many people assume that it’s just as safe as eating food cooked with cannabidiol-infused cooking oil or butter. While this may be true for most people who consume weed responsibly, some effects could last longer than usual after being consumed. Accurately controlling the dosage levels of CBD edibles can sometimes be difficult due to its slow onset. It takes restraint and patience when consuming CBD edibles because the onset time is much slower than vaping or smoking cannabis products, but the effect lasts longer as well.
Vaping
Vaping CBD is one of the safest methods that can be considered for consuming CBD. Vaping allows you to consume CBD with almost no negative symptoms if done correctly. It is also an easy way to figure out how much CBD you need at a given time.
Today, various companies have made vaping CBD easier for over 50 million people over the past decade by inventing new ways to vape CBD. Once you’ve experienced vaping CBD oil with an e-cig (also known as “vaping”) or cannabis concentrates with a bong, you probably won’t go back to smoking joints or using pipes ever again. Vapes, E-cigs, and bongs provide all the benefits of using CBD while also eliminating many of the drawbacks that come with smoking, such as forming tar and creating secondhand smoke. You can smoke an e-cig anywhere discreetly without having to worry about your health or the judgmental looks from bystanders trying to figure out what’s in your hand. Bongs are excellent for home use and are customizable. Adding a premium quartz banger to your bong or dab rig offers a clean, flavorful vaping or dabbing experience. Quartz is an ideal material for heating at high temperatures, especially when vaporizing cannabis concentrates. It can be safe to say that vaping will steadily grow as a popular way of consuming CBD beyond 2022.
CBD tinctures
One of the most popular ways to consume CBD is by using tinctures, which are increasingly being used as a natural remedy for those looking for relief from various symptoms without causing any unwanted side effects. There are countless different types of CBD tinctures out there that each has their own unique benefits and uses. One of the main differences between vaping CBD and taking it orally in a tincture form is onset time. When you vape CBD, it comes on almost immediately because your body rapidly absorbs it into your bloodstream through the lungs. Taking CBD orally causes a much slower onset that can take days or weeks to kick in depending on your metabolism and how well cannabinoids are absorbed in your stomach. This makes it much more difficult to control dosage levels and get the best results out of each treatment session. A good rule of thumb is to always start with the lowest possible dose and observe how long the effects start to kick in.
Topical application
There are various ways of consuming CBD, and it does not have to be taken internally. Topical application is another popular way of consuming CBD over the past few years and continues to be so in 2022. It’s no secret that cannabis is extremely helpful when it comes down to pain relief, whether it be physical or mental — so many people have been looking for new ways to utilize cannabis as a physical remedy. This is where you see types of products like topicals, which are specifically designed to be applied directly to the skin for a variety of benefits including analgesia and increased hydration. In this year and the subsequent years, we’re going to see a lot more research into how these topical solutions can help with things like arthritis or nerve pain, as it’s obvious that they have at least some positive effect.
How will you benefit from this development in 2022? If you suffer from any kind of aches and pains, by either using CBD topicals or choosing companies who specialize in them, you’ll be ensuring your body is getting the best relief possible… without having to worry about side effects!
While there are plenty more new developments on the horizon, we’ve covered the most notable four here — but don’t worry, they’re all going to make a big difference in how we approach things going forward. Now that more states are legalizing cannabis across the US and other countries around the world, more research will be able to take place. This will give a promising 2022 and beyond educating ourselves about optimal dosage & bioavailability of different forms.
