CBD Oil Frequently Asked Questions

How do I take CBD oil?

CBD oil is meant to be taken sublingually, under the tongue. We recommend placing 5-10 drops under your tongue and holding them for 2-3 minutes. If you don’t feel any effects after 20 minutes, you can repeat the process until you reach your desired effect. By taking oil under the tongue, the CBD molecules are able to get absorbed straight into the bloodstream without having to first go through the digestive tract.

How do I take CBD soft gels?

Soft gels are meant to be swallowed. You should expect the onset of effects to take longer as the soft gel must first go through the digestive system. We recommend starting off with 1 per day and working your way up if desired.
