How Long Does It Take for CBD to Work?

One of the key factors when using CBD is understanding how quickly it takes effect. The onset time depends on the product type, how it’s consumed, and your unique body chemistry. At UnCanna, we design our products to fit a variety of lifestyles and needs.

Onset Times by Product Type

1. CBD Oils (Sublingual):

   • Onset: 15–30 minutes.
   • Why: Absorbed directly into the bloodstream under the tongue, bypassing digestion.
   • Best For: Quick relief from pain, stress, or anxiety.

2. CBD Capsules or Edibles:

   • Onset: 30–90 minutes.
   • Why: Must pass through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream.
   • Best For: Long-lasting effects, ideal for daily routines.

3. CBD Topicals:

   • Onset: Immediate to 20 minutes.
   • Why: Absorbed directly through the skin, targeting localized pain or inflammation.
   • Best For: Muscle soreness, joint pain, or recovery.

Factors That Impact Onset

• Dosage: Higher doses may work faster.
• Metabolism: Faster metabolisms process CBD more quickly.
• Frequency of Use: Regular use may lead to quicker and more consistent effects.
