As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, one of the biggest reasons why CBD oil is the most popular type of CBD product is because the cost per mg of CBD is often very low. The problem with CBD oil – for some people – is its distinct botanical taste. CBD edibles solve that problem by masking the taste with sugar and other flavoring agents. If that was the only benefit, though, CBD gummies probably wouldn’t be as popular as they are.

Many people also find that, when they use CBD edibles, they can enjoy the effects of CBD much longer. When you take CBD oil, you hold the oil under your tongue for several seconds before swallowing it. That allows the CBD to absorb quickly through the tissues in your mouth. With CBD edibles, on the other hand, most of the CBD is absorbed through your digestive system. Although CBD edibles may take longer to become active in your body – digestion can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours – many people find that the slow, sustained release of CBD is effective for alleviating chronic conditions.
