How Long Does CBD Stay in Your System?

Cannabidiol, known as CBD, usually stays in your system for 2 to 5 days on average. However, this is no concrete time period, as CBD is fat-soluble. Multiple factors have an effect on how long CBD might stay in your system (which can be up to a few weeks). These factors can be the amount of CBD used, the frequency of consumption, how well your body reacts to CBD, your method of administration, and more. Let’s get into more details. 

Factors Affecting How Long CBD Lasts in Your System 

The Amount of CBD Used

The more you use CBD, the longer it’ll take to get out of the system. This holds true for any other substance that you consume. 

How Often You Use It

As an occasional CBD user, it shouldn’t take too long to get rid of the CBD in your system. However, if you consume CBD regularly, it might take longer. As you go on consuming CBD on a regular basis, it continues building up in your system. This is why you’re able to truly feel the effects of CBD after consuming it for a week or two. This build-up, however, lingers in the body and takes longer to clear. 

Your Body

Everybody reacts differently to CBD or any other substance that they consume. The body mass, metabolism, and water content, all have a direct connection with how long CBD stays in the system. 

Method of Administration

The type of CBD you use and the way you consume it is another factor that plays an important role here.  Starting off with smokes and CBD vapes, these are perfect for an almost immediate effect but a short-lived one. In this case, CBD leaves the body early and easily. 

On the other hand, products like sublingual oils, CBD tinctures and CBD sprays work differently. While these also take effect almost immediately (within minutes), these also have a long-lasting effect on the consumer. The CBD is placed under the tongue to be absorbed into the bloodstream. The effects of CBD are long-lasting. 

In the case of edibles, the CBD takes longer to settle in and just as long to be cleared out. Edibles like gummies, chocolate bars or brownies must be digested before the CBD is released into the bloodstream. 

Finally, you can find transdermal topicals like salves or lotions and transdermal patches which deliver the CBD into the system very slowly and does take just as long to be cleared out completely. Not all topicals are capable of delivering CBD into the bloodstream, most only work on the surface or get absorbed in the layers of the skin. 

If You Are Consuming CBD on an Empty Stomach

This pertains to CBD products that require digestion. Taking CBD on an empty stomach quickens the process of metabolization and elimination. On the other hand, consuming CBD post a meal can slow down the process. Consuming high-fat foods can also increase the amount of CBD in the body, leading to slower elimination of the substance from your system. 

Irrespective of the kind of CBD product you want, you can find the most suitable products at the Online CBD Store or other licensed retail stores.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
Want to learn more, including what many of these terms mean? Check out my books (including Vitamin Weed) & courses via the link in my bio.

At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy... At least in Nevada under the Board of Pharmacy...
This is a huge victory, especially for POC in Nevada who were unfairly targeted by police and arrested due to this legal loophole despite legalization of this plant.
The ACLU sued the Nevada Pharmacy Board & won the case. An additional judgement on whether or not the board should regulate the plant at all any more is coming in future weeks.
Still waiting for @Potus to legalize on the Federal level. What are we waiting for?
