What Is CBD Spray And Is It Right For You?

CBD spray isn’t quite as popular as CBD oil, vape liquid, or gummies, but it can provide its own set of advantages. How does it differ from other products and could it be the right option for you? Let’s look at what sets it apart.

CBD oil spray is similar to a breath or throat spray. Pure cannabidiol is combined with a liquid solution. The solution is used in a pump bottle so it can be sprayed directly into the mouth. At first glance, you may think this is very similar to CBD oil, which is dropped into the mouth to be held under the tongue or swallowed. Although the dosing methods appear similar on the surface, the way in which CBD is absorbed and processed by the body is different for each.

When you use CBD spray, the liquid drops do not simply travel down the throat in the same manner as CBD liquid from a dropper. This may happen to some of the spray, but most of it is absorbed sublingually. Sublingual absorption means that a substance is taken in through the mucous membranes. When you swallow CBD oil from a dropper, you are ingesting it and the absorption occurs further down in the digestive tract, where the cannabidiol is metabolized by the liver.

Sublingual absorption enables the CBD to enter the bloodstream faster. Using CBD spray can provide a speedier route to feeling the effects. This method can’t compete with the speed of vaporizing and inhaling CBD, however. Vaporizing CBD is the most efficient dosing method due to the fact that CBD enters the bloodstream by way of the alveoli in the lungs. CBD spray is still a good alternative to slower dosing methods that rely on the digestive system; the effects won’t be instantaneous, but they are comparatively faster.

CBD spray can be more discrete than vaping and it can be easier to define a dose. Using CBD spray lets you define the amount you take by the number of pumps you spray and hold in your mouth before swallowing. The dose obtained through vaping depends not only on how much vapor is inhaled, but how long that breath is held in the lungs. You can still gain a good idea of how much you’re taking, but the amount isn’t always precise.

If you’re wondering what will CBD edibles do that CBD spray will not, one of the key factors of ingesting CBD is the length of time it stays in your system. Eating or drinking some form of CBD will require a longer absorption period and slower effects, but the duration of those effects is far greater. So if you need CBD to control pain, moderate stress levels, or ease insomnia over a longer period of time, a slower, longer experience may be better.

Now that you understand some of the unique qualities of CBD oil spray compared to other options, there’s still something else you have to carefully consider: What is in that spray bottle?

Pure cannabidiol almost always must be incorporated into some solution, though CBD crumble or CBD isolate are exceptions to this. You want to make sure that your CBD liquid spray includes only safe, natural, and minimal ingredients required for ease of use.

Don’t let the convenience of a CBD spray product make you complacent about what’s in the bottle. Be sure to check for a certificate of analysis and review all ingredients before you buy. Pay attention to how much of that product is actual cannabidiol and take note of everything else that isn’t. If you’re not familiar with an ingredient or additive, contact the manufacturer and ask them what it is and why it’s included.

These extra quality assurance steps will help to get the best possible CBD experience, regardless of your preferred dosing method.

New York City Adds More Exceptions To Pre-Employment Marijuana Testing Ban

An ambitious campaign to decriminalize psychedelics in Washington, D.C., is one step closer to placing their measure on the November ballot with the formal submission of tens of thousands of voter signatures. Organizers have been scrambling for weeks to collect enough signatures from D.C. voters by Monday’s deadline amid historically difficult circumstances: a global pandemic, months of stay-at-home orders and protests over racism and police violence that filled the streets of the nation’s capital. But with the help of innovative signature-gathering techniques and allies flown in from across the country, advocates said they had successfully submitted upwards of 35,000 signatures—more than enough to qualify the initiative. If approved by voters, Initiative 81 would make enforcement of laws against plant- and fungus-based psychedelics among the “lowest law enforcement priorities” for the Metropolitan Police Department. It would not, however, legalize or reduce penalties for the subs

Charlotte Figi The Girl Who Inspired A CBD Movement Has Died At Age 13

Charlotte had recently been hospitalized due to pneumonia, breathing problems and seizures. She was treated as a likely case of Covid-19, her mother, Paige Figi, said Wednesday, although she tested negative for the virus. “Charlotte is no longer suffering. She is seizure-free forever,” a family friend wrote on Paige Figi’s Facebook page, announcing Charlotte’s death. “Thank you so much for all of your love.” Charlotte became a symbol of the possibilities of CBD after CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta told her story in the documentary “Weed.” In the film, Charlotte was shown to be a playful child who was overcome by horrific seizures, which were quelled with Charlotte’s Web, a marijuana strain named in her honor. Charlotte had Dravet syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy which was not controlled by medication. The Stanley brothers, marijuana growers in Colorado, were crossbreeding a strain of marijuana high in CBD and low in THC, its psychoactive ingredient. After Charlo

Virginia CBD Program Criticized As Multistate Medical Cannabis Operators Gain Edge

Seven companies are challenging a CBD licensing process in Virginia that resulted in multistate medical marijuana operators getting a majority of available licenses. The appeals called the process “wildly prejudicial.” Out of 51 applicants for five vertically integrated CBD and THC-A licenses, multistate operators received three, a situation that spurred the appeals, The Virginian-Pilot reported. Applicants filing the appeals complained the closed-meeting review process lacked fairness and transparency. One consultant to an applicant said the selections felt “predetermined.” The Virginia Board of Pharmacy reportedly sent information to the applicants in December explaining its selections, but some applicants weren’t satisfied. A board spokeswoman wrote in an email to the Pilot that the board “does not comment on pending litigation.” The five winning applicants , called “pharmaceutical processors,” have a year from winning the licenses to become operational. The multistate
