Introduction
Cannabidiol (CBD) is recognized for its potential benefits for physical and mental well-being. In this article, we will explore the differences in the absorption rate and effects of CBD oil in different administration formats, as well as the legal situation in Spain.
Absorption Rate and Mechanisms of Action
The absorption rate of CBD varies depending on the administration format. Both the internal route (CBD oils) and the external route (creams, serums, balms) present significant differences in the action time and potency of the CBD.
Sublingual Route
Sublingual administration allows for rapid absorption of CBD, with effects that can manifest in approximately 15 minutes. This route of administration is ideal to obtain a widespread and homogeneous effect throughout the body.
Inhalation Route
The inhalation route offers an almost immediate effect, reaching its maximum action after a few minutes. However, its duration is limited compared to oral administration of CBD.
External or Topical Way
Topical CBD products have a slower absorption, taking between 25 and 45 minutes to take effect. Although its effect is localized, its duration can exceed 5 hours.
Legal Situation in Spain
In Spain, the production of CBD products is restricted for cosmetic use, excluding internal consumption. The legality of CBD in Spain is subject to specific regulations, limiting its use to registered and certified topical applications.
Conclusions
CBD, the main component of cannabis, offers beneficial therapeutic effects for the body, including analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and antipsychotic properties. The diversity of CBD administration formats gives users options to enjoy its effects effectively and long-lasting.
