Colorado Botanicals / How Long Does It Take for CBD to Relax You?

How Long Does It Take for CBD to Relax You?

The relaxing effects of CBD usually kick in after around 30 minutes. It depends on how you take CBD, though: CBD tinctures can kick in faster if you hold them under your tongue, and the same goes for CBD gummies if you chew thoroughly and don’t swallow right away. Once it hits your digestive system, CBD is processed over the next 30-45 minutes, gradually making its way to your bloodstream and brain.

Keep in mind that topical CBD products won’t provide relaxing effects — they’re mainly used for relieving pain and inflammation in a particular area of your body. If relaxation is your goal, make sure to choose an oral CBD product such as CBD oil or CBD gummies.

  • Oral CBD Activation Time: Taken orally, CBD generally provides relaxing effects within 30-45 minutes.
  • Faster CBD Activation: You can make oral CBD products kick in faster by holding them in your mouth before swallowing.
  • Topical CBD: Topically applied CBD products — like CBD creams, lotions, and balms — are not relaxing since their effects are limited to the area where they are applied.
