The consumption of CBD (Cannabidiol) a non-psychoactive compound, is known to offer a variety of medical and therapeutic benefits. These benefits were identified by a study published in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, in 2013, ‘…including acting in some experimental models as an anticonvulsant, antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, antioxidant and antipsychotic agent, and hence is a potential medicine for the treatment of neuroinflammation, epilepsy, oxidative injury, vomiting and nausea, anxiety and schizophrenia”.

Further to this, scientific studies also show that this product can have therapeutic uses for people suffering from depression, multiple sclerosis, arthritis and a whole range of other chronic conditions. However, a question which is often asked by many individuals is, how long does CBD last, more specifically, how long does CBD oil stay within the system.

When Does It Kick In

In order to decipher this, it needs to first be deduced how long does it take for the effects of CBD to start appearing within your system. Naturally, the method of admission with respect to CBD plays a factor here, whereby the results are felt within thirty to sixty minutes if you orally take the CBD, whilst if it is administered through vaping (CBD vape oil), or dropping CBD oil under the tongue, the results are felt within ten to fifteen minutes.

Now you may be wondering, how would you know if the effects of CBD are being felt; the answer is simple enough, if the symptoms you are trying to mitigate are in fact being alleviated, then the effects of CBD are being felt.

What the Studies Say

Another question which arises, perhaps the most important one, is that how long does CBD last. The answer to this question comes through a study, published in Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior Journal, which provides an insight as to how long does CBD last within the system.

The participants within the study took extremely large doses of CBD for 6 weeks, however, when they were tested for CBD after a week of not dosing, there were no CBD traces found within the system.

Thereby indicating, the effects of CBD to potentially last for less than or a maximum of one week, though certain factors may affect this assessment as a range of studies have concluded no definitive answer, as this assessment becomes subjective for each individual.

These factors may include weight, usage, how much and how often is CBD consumed, consumption methods, the individual’s metabolism and other related factors, causing the result to vary with respect to how long CBD lasts within the system.
