When taking CBD for the first time, you can expect the following:

1. Onset of effects:

• Edibles: 30 minutes to 2 hours
• Sublingual tinctures: 15 to 45 minutes
• Vaping: 15 to 30 minutes
• Topicals: 45 to 60 minutes13

2. Duration of effects: Generally 4 to 6 hours, depending on the method of consumption2
3. Subtle and gradual relief:

• Sense of calm and relaxation
• Reduced anxiety and stress levels
• Improved focus23

4. Potential side effects:

• Dry mouth
• Drowsiness
• Reduced appetite
• Fatigue5

It’s important to note that individual responses vary. Start with a low dose (5-10mg) and gradually increase if needed3. The effects are typically non-intoxicating, and you won’t experience a “high”7. CBD’s impact can be influenced by factors such as body weight, metabolism, and symptom severity2.Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting CBD, especially if you’re taking other medications, as CBD can interact with certain drugs8.
