The rate of which you feel the effects of the CBD relief stick depends largely on how your body absorbs CBD, and the amount applied. We recommend applying a liberal amount, waiting 3-4 hours, then increase the application amount as needed to achieve desired results. Most people find that the effects of CBD topicals last nearly as long as ingestible products, but they notice the effects much faster. If you like, you can use topical CBD multiple times throughout the day to keep the effects going strong.
