How to Use Cannabis Oil
Cannabis oil is a concentrated form of the active compounds in cannabis, known as cannabinoids. These are the same compounds that are responsible for the therapeutic and recreational effects of marijuana.
Cannabis oil can be taken orally or applied topically, and it offers a long list of potential health benefits, including relief from pain, anxiety, inflammation, and more.
What is Cannabis Oil?
Cannabis oil is a concentrate made by extracting cannabinoids like THC and CBD from cannabis plants. Most oils you find at a dispensary are created using a process called “chemical extraction.”
This method uses a solvent to extract cannabinoids along with other beneficial compounds like terpenes and flavonoids. The extracted compounds are then added to a carrier oil like MCT or coconut oil, which makes it easier to consume.
CO2 extraction is quickly becoming the preferred method of extraction because it is safe and effective. This method uses pressurized carbon dioxide to extract cannabinoids and other compounds from the plant material.
The CO2 is then evaporated, leaving behind a pure and potent product.
Cannabis oil can be used in a variety of ways. It can be taken orally, applied topically, or inhaled using a vaporizer. The effects of cannabis oil vary depending on how it is used.
When taken orally, cannabis oil can provide relief from conditions like anxiety, chronic pain, and seizures. When applied topically, it can help to heal wounds and soothe inflammation. When inhaled, cannabis oil can provide relief from conditions like nausea and chronic pain.
How to Use Cannabis Oil
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how long it takes for cannabis oil to take effect. The speed at which the oil works depends on a number of factors, including the amount of oil consumed,
The THC concentration of the oil, and the individual’s metabolism. In general, however, cannabis oil will take effect within 15 to 30 minutes when placed under the tongue.
Cannabis oil can be a very effective treatment for a wide variety of medical conditions, but it’s important to remember that each person’s body is different.
What works for one person may not work for another, so it’s important to experiment to find the dosage and method of ingestion that works best for you. Start with a small dose and increase gradually until you find the desired effect.
Dosing
When it comes to dosing, always start low and go slow. This will help you find the lowest possible dose that provides the desired effects. Keep in mind that the recommended dose on a product label may be higher than what you actually need.
As with any cannabis product, how you react to dabs will depend on many factors, including your tolerance, the type of product you’re using, and the amount you consume.
If you’re new to dabs, start with a small amount (about the size of a grain of rice) and wait at least an hour to see how you feel. If needed, slowly increase the dose until you experience the desired effects.
Keep in mind that more isn’t always better and there could be a small dosage window or “sweet spot” that works best for you. You might need to adjust your dose over time, but many people find that a consistent dose can work for their needs over the long term.
