The effects of edible CBD can begin to be felt 30 to 120 minutes after ingestion. As CBD passes through the digestive tract, it’s one of the forms of consumption that takes the longest for the effects to be felt.
Once the edible CBD has taken effect, it remains in effect for up to eight hours, reaching the maximum CBD level three to four hours after ingestion.
This form of consumption decreases the bioavailability of CBD. In other words, not all of the CBD consumed is metabolised, as some is lost in the digestion process. For this reason, consuming edible CBD requires slightly higher doses than other forms of consumption.
