Generally, you can begin to feel the effects of CBD within 15 minutes of vaping or taking it sublingually. Edibles and topical products can take as long as an hour or two to kick in.
What does CBD do when inhaled?
Pros: Inhaled CBD tends to enter the bloodstream faster than other forms—in as quickly as 30 seconds or less, according to Mitch Earleywine, Ph. D., a professor of psychology at the State University of New York, Albany, and an adviser to the marijuana advocacy group NORML.
Consider trying the lowest dose first—in this case, a single inhale—then wait a few minutes and see whether there is an effect, such as pain relief or reduced anxiety. If not, try another. And avoid holding your breath after inhaling, because that can irritate the lungs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommend against vaping, as the long-term effects are still unknown.
