Are CBD Liquids Bad? Thorough explanation of its effects, how to choose, and recommended products!

"What is CBD liquid?" "How should I choose CBD liquid?"

CBD, which originated in Europe, has recently become a hot topic, but among them, liquids have different types and concentrations, and beginners may feel that the hurdles are a little high.

Therefore, in this article, we will explain the effects you can expect from CBD liquid and how to choose it.

After reading this article, you can enjoy your life with CBD liquid.

What is CBD

CBD is an abbreviation for Cannabidiol, which is one of the cannabinoids in cannabis. CBD occurs naturally, but it can also be made synthetically. It is an ingredient extracted from the stems and seeds of hemp (cannabis plant), but unlike the illegal ingredient THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it is not illegal.

It is known to have a positive effect on the mind, and clinical trials have already started in Japan in April 2022 as a treatment for epilepsy.

What is CBD Liquid?

CBD e-liquids are e-cigarette liquids with CBD added. Because it enters the body through the capillaries in the lungs, it is generally said to work faster than CBD oil.

As with other CBD products, there are three purification methods: “Isolate,” “Broad Spectrum,” and “Full Spectrum.”

Here are three purification methods.

Depending on the refining method, the ingredients, effects and prices of CBD products differ, so be sure to know in order to choose the best CBD product for you.

full spectrum

Full spectrum means “full spectrum” and refers to CBD products that contain all the components of hemp . Its biggest feature is that it also contains THC, which is an illegal ingredient in Japan . Since all ingredients including THC are included, it is thought that the "entourage effect" that "intake of multiple ingredients at the same time will amplify the individual effects and can be expected to have higher effects" will be maximized. You can

In Japan, THC content should be at non-detectable levels. Products with more THC than this are illegal to own, so be careful when buying.

broad spectrum

By broad spectrum, we mean CBD products that contain cannabinoids other than THC, as well as other minerals and terpenes . Since it contains ingredients other than CBD, it is possible to expect a higher effect by amplifying the effects of each ingredient when taking multiple ingredients at the same time. I feel a greater effect.

There seems to be no clear definition of broad spectrum at present, and there are various explanations such as "THC only removed" and "contains ingredients other than CBD".

Isolate

Isolate is a combination of only the CBD component in the sense of separation .

Hemp contains more than 100 kinds of cannabinoids such as CBD alone, and more than 400 kinds of ingredients in total if you add other ingredients.

The isolate manufacturing method is a manufacturing method that extracts only the CBD component (cannabidiol) from those various components.

Our CBD isolate is 99% pure and contains no ingredients other than CBD. Therefore, a synergistic “entourage effect” due to amplification of multiple components cannot be expected.

Because it is a single ingredient, the quality is greatly influenced by the raw hemp and the soil in which it is cultivated. In order to obtain products of stable quality, we recommend that you check the production area before purchasing.

What are the effects of CBD liquids?

Here, we will explain three effects that you can expect from CBD liquid.

CBD liquid for relaxing time

CBD liquids can be used to soothe a busy day.

A 2018 report found that taking CBD reduces performance anxiety.

Translational Investigation of the Therapeutic Potential of Cannabidiol (CBD): Toward a New Age

The various effects of CBD are complex and difficult to elucidate, and research is still in progress with many unexplained parts.

CBD Liquid Helps Your Body Regulate

The CBD liquid assists the body adjustment function.

Homeostasis is the mechanism by which the human body maintains balance. For example, in mammals, even if the outside air temperature rises, our body temperature does not rise with it, and our autonomic nerves function to sweat and regulate our body temperature almost constantly.

CBD is a cannabinoid component of hemp, but humans also produce cannabinoid compounds called "endocannabinoids" in the body. Cannabinoids flow through the body as neurotransmitters when a disorder occurs in the body.

The series of functions from homeostasis to cannabinoid receptors is collectively called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS).

The endocannabinoid system does not work well when the cannabinoids in the body become insufficient due to the effects of the external environment such as aging, stress, and cold weather.

It is through this endocannabinoid system that CBD helps the body function.

Should I stop using CBD liquids? ｜Disadvantages of CBD

CBD liquid is a liquid for ingesting CBD with Vpae (suction), so the liquid in the bottle is refilled into the atomizer and ingested.

It is safer to know the bad side (disadvantages) of CBD liquid before using CBD liquid.

Here are three disadvantages of CBD liquids.

CBD liquids take time to refill and care

The first disadvantage is that CBD liquids take time to refill and care for.

CBD liquid is a product made for inhaling CBD, but it requires a device to inhale, so it is a little difficult for beginners.

The liquid in the bottle is refilled into the atomizer and ingested, but usually you buy the bottled one and inject the amount you will use each time you use it. This one is better for the price.

For those who hesitate to use CBD liquid for this operation, we recommend cartridges and pen-type CBD. Basically, the cartridge can be inhaled just by attaching the cartridge (imagine the ink of a fountain pen) to a dedicated device, and the pen type is a disposable CBD liquid.

CBD liquid requires a VAPE that can use CBD liquid

The second disadvantage is that CBD liquid requires a VAPE that can be used with CBD liquid.

There are three types of VAPE: "Box type", "Small type" and "POD type".

The size of the box type is large, and both design and functionality are substantial. With a large battery capacity, it can be used continuously for a long time. In addition, by changing the output settings, you can fine-tune the flavor and amount of smoke to your liking, making it a type of VAPE suitable for heavy users.

There are also compact models called pen type and stick type for small vapes that are excellent for portability. Fine adjustment of inhalation is not possible, but the operation is simple and beginners can use it with confidence. The disadvantage is that the running cost is higher than the box type.

The POD type is about the size between the box type and the small size, and is used by attaching a pod containing liquid. In addition, the POD type has the advantages of both box type inhalation comfort and ease of operation. It requires no maintenance and is a concern for VAPE users.

In addition, VAPE consists of the following parts.

・Battery: Also called MOD. The part that generates the electricity that powers the vape. With control board. Adjustable voltage and temperature

・Atomizer: Mouthpiece, tank for e-liquid, coil to heat e-liquid

Assemble the battery and atomizer for use. The battery heats the coil to vaporize the e-liquid, which you inhale through the mouthpiece to enjoy the flavor.

CBD liquid has a short duration of effect

Ingestion method	Types of CBD	Effect onset time	duration of effect
taken by mouth	oil	15 minutes to 1 hour	8 hours
taken by mouth as food	CBD Gum Gummies Cookies	About 30 minutes to 2 hours	6-12 hours
ingested as gas	CBD Liquid	seconds to minutes	1 hour
uptake through the skin	CBD balms and creams	30 minutes to 2 hours	4-6 hours

The third disadvantage is that CBD liquids have a short duration of effect.

The effect duration of the CBD liquid is about 1/10 compared to the longest CBD-infused food taken by mouth.

However, since it is absorbed directly into the body through the capillaries in the lungs, the onset of effects is quick, ranging from a few seconds to a few minutes. It is also recommended when you need or want a quick effect.

Should I stop using CBD liquids? ｜Advantages of CBD liquid

Following the disadvantages of CBD liquid, here are four advantages of CBD liquid.

CBD liquid can change the flavor according to your mood and taste

One of the benefits is that CBD liquids can be flavored according to your mood and taste.

CBD products have a unique taste derived from cannabis, depending on the product, and some people are not good at it. CBD liquids often have flavors such as fruit and mint, and if you choose your favorite flavor, you can take it without feeling bad. You can also enjoy changing the flavor according to your mood.

CBD liquids are highly absorbable

Ingestion method	Types of CBD	rate absorbed
(Example) Intravenous injection	ー	100%
taken by mouth	oil	about 35%
taken by mouth as food	CBD Gum Gummies Cookies	6% to 15%
ingested as steam	CBD Liquid	30% to 40%
uptake through the skin	CBD balms and creams	ー

The second benefit is that CBD liquids are highly absorbable.

Supplements such as CBD oil work by being absorbed and entering the bloodstream.

When ingested as steam like CBD liquid, it is absorbed directly into the body through the capillaries in the lungs, so the amount absorbed is greater than in other ingestion methods. If you take it as food, it will be less because it has undergone digestion and metabolism.

CBD liquids are easy to inhale

The third merit is that CBD liquid can be easily sucked.

It is very effective when you need the effects of CBD immediately, such as when you have a lot of stress at work, when you are suddenly attacked by anxiety, or when you suddenly have pain from a chronic disease.

CBD liquid makes it easier to quit smoking

The fourth advantage is that using CBD liquid makes it easier to quit smoking.

It is said that the inability to quit smoking is due to physical dependence on tobacco (nicotine dependence) and psychological dependence (habit). If inhaling CBD liquid with VAPE is an alternative to smoking, the effects of CBD liquid will help you quit smoking.

3 ways to choose CBD liquid!

Now that you have a better understanding of CBD liquids, you may be wondering what kind of CBD liquid is right for you.

Here's how to choose a CBD liquid.

Choose by concentration of CBD

There are three main types of CBD concentrations. Here's how to choose the right CBD concentration.

- Less than 10%｜Recommended for beginners

If you are a beginner, start with a low-concentration product with a concentration of less than 10%.

The purpose is to feel the effects of CBD even a little. If you have become accustomed to it and the effect is becoming less noticeable, try increasing the concentration little by little.

-10% to 30% | Easy to feel the effect

10% to 30% is for intermediates who are accustomed to taking CBD, and it is a concentration that is easy to realize the effect. When you want to relax and calm down a little before going to bed, it is recommended to try at this concentration.

-30% or more | You can feel a very high effect

30% or more is for advanced users and you can feel a very high effect. If you can't feel the effect, you can't sleep at night, and you want to feel the CBD effect clearly, it is good to use a concentration of 30% or more, but it is also possible to take a little more than 10% to 30%. effect is obtained.

choose by flavor

The recommended flavor of CBD liquid is fruit.

When choosing a flavor, if you have a preference, it will be given priority, but since CBD liquid has a slightly unique bitterness, choosing a sweet flavor will allow you to continue with less resistance. If you don't like sweet flavors, herbs and menthol are good choices.

Third-party inspection done

If you choose a CBD e-liquid, make sure it is third-party tested.

If the inspection is done by a third-party organization, in most cases it will be clearly displayed on the purchase page. If it is sold after being inspected by a third party, you can understand that it is "manufactured with safe ingredients".

It's okay because it's a CBD liquid sold in Japan! Don't worry about it, let's check the safety with your own eyes.

If it is inspected by a third party, you can check that it is "THC free" and "documented image of the survey results". THC free indicates that it does not contain THC, which is illegal in Japan. Be especially careful when purchasing through overseas sites. If you are a beginner, we recommend that you buy from the Japanese site. In addition, let's check "Investigation documents investigated by a third party". More reliable than words alone.

Therefore, we recommend the CBD store "Green", which is licensed by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and goes to the United States to purchase CBD .
