Wouldn’t it be nice if we could manage our anxiety and unplug from life’s responsibilities and stressors by checking into a dreamy spa for long stretches of time? While one can dream, that scenario is plain unrealistic. Instead, we can do our best to eat mindfully, be active, and stay connected with friends and loved ones in order to cope with anxiety. Prioritizing sleep, eliminating or reducing caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine are ways to help too. Meditation and simple walking have been proven to regulate the nervous system and help us calm down. Bodywork such as massage, reiki and acupuncture are also proven modalities to help with anxiety – calming the mind, body and spirit.
But what if those tools aren’t available to you, are too expensive, time-consuming, or just don’t work for you? CBD edibles might give you the support and relief you need.
While it takes a while for CBD edibles to take effect, between 30 minutes to two hours, the result is long-lasting relief, about 6-8 hours. In a CBD edible, the active cannabinoids are combined with other typically delicious ingredients so the CBD is released slowly over long periods of time as food is digested.
CBD may be a cannabis compound, but many are surprised to find that it does not cause a psychotropic “high.” Instead, the cannabinoid can offer a mellow mood uplift with a sense of positive, alerted energy. CBD can also lead to a sense of calm, prolonged relief from mild pains, and daily stresses. Edible confections are a great option for anyone hoping to enjoy the benefits of cannabis without a mind-altering psychoactive experience.
While vapor pens are more popular than ever, the long-term implications of inhaling hot oil are still yet to be determined. Several vape pens also contain added toxic agents, like propylene glycol (PG) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and have the potential to poison you with heavy metals. CBD edibles are an excellent way to avoid inhaling altogether so you can rest, and breathe! – easy.
It can be almost impossible to know exactly how much CBD you are getting each time you inhale. Most CBD edibles come in pre-dosed servings, enabling you to control and understand how much CBD you have consumed and how much you need to consume to achieve your desired results of zen.
Boarding a plane for an extended flight? Visiting a judgmental family? Unclear how the workplace will feel about cannabis? When you need relief during a stressful event you can dial-in-your dose with a CBD gummy or two and discreetly get back on track.
CBD is considered generally well-tolerated and even high-doses of the cannabinoid produce but minimal side effects. Research has concluded that CBD was safe at a wide range of doses in both healthy and epileptic study participants. Just keep in mind that at the moment, CBD is not an approved treatment for any mental health condition and is not intended to replace the guidance of a licensed medical professional.
