CBD Edibles

Cannabidiol (CBD) edibles can take a bit longer to metabolize than other methods of consumption. This is because the edible first needs to be digested and processed by the liver before entering the bloodstream, where your body metabolizes the CBD. This process can take approximately 45 minutes to one hour.

Still, metabolization could take longer depending on when you have last eaten. If you are on a full stomach, it could take upwards of an hour for the effects to kick in. As such, always remember to start with lower amounts, and keep in mind that it could take some time to take effect before you get restful sleep.

One of the great benefits of CBD-infused edible products is the length of time consumers can enjoy their effects. Because CBD edibles metabolize in the stomach, they create a kind of prolonged release so that you can feel its effects longer. Generally, you can expect the positive effects of CBD oil edibles to last between 6-8 hours.

Many consumers enjoy the long-lasting benefits, as they can consume an edible early in the day and then go through the rest without the need to take more. This lets consumers go about their day with fewer interruptions so that you can enjoy all the little things instead.

If you’ve never consumed a CBD product before, it’s reasonable to wonder how much CBD might be in a particular product. We designed our edibles so that users have many strength options depending on the specific product purchased. This gives you the ability to decide the strength of the CBD products you are comfortable consuming.

Here at Cheef Botanicals, we create our products with varying strengths to suit the needs of all kinds of people. Formulated using broad spectrum CBD, we provide our customers with the best CBD gummies to relieve stress, take it easy, or treat yourself to a good night’s sleep.

Our delicious CBD gummies are available in 300mg, 750mg, 1500mg & 3000mg containers. So even those needing a super-strong dose will be satisfied! In these containers, each gummy contains 10 mg, 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg, respectively.

If you didn’t follow the “start low, go slow” rule, you might find yourself a little more disoriented than you intended. Still, eating too many CBD edibles should be no problem for your health, as CBD is well-tolerated by most people. This is due to how CBD interacts indirectly with the endocannabinoid system (ECS).

But if you take too much, you might experience some unintended side effects, including:

• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Drowsiness
• Dry mouth

These effects are not commonly experienced and are avoidable if you ensure you take the appropriate dose. If you do happen to take more than intended and experience any of these effects, remember that these effects are usually short-lived and mild. Contact a medical professional if these effects do not decrease in severity or you experience more severe symptoms.

For the bakers, creatives, and DIY hackers out there, creating CBD edibles at home can make for a fun way to create different types of edibles. Making CBD edibles at home is easy with Cheef’s organic CBD oil as your main ingredient! Bake it into delicious brownies for the classic experience, try your hand at relaxing CBD gummy bears, or take things to the next level with recipes of your own creation.

You can also make edibles using the classic way of decarbing (heating to activate) hemp flower. Just make sure you buy hemp that’s grown organically and safely!

Because CBD and THC come from the same family of plants, namely cannabis Sativa, many people often confuse the two cannabinoids. Furthermore, for those without any experience with CBD, they may appear as the same thing based on their scent and appearance. But what about the smell of CBD products like CBD infused gummies or other edibles?

You’ll be glad to know that despite hemp’s similar visual appearance and scent to marijuana, neither of these qualities should be noticeable in an edible. While some scent may be coming from the product, it should only become noticeable when one practically has their nose over the product. If that is not the case, no noticeable smell should be clear.

So, although CBD edibles can carry a scent that is mistakable for a THC product, this is unlikely because most edible products carry the scent of their food-based components. There should still be no noticeable scent for products that do not have a food component, such as soft gels and pure CBD isolate capsules.

If you’re a nervous traveler, you might need some relief during your adventures! Sometimes the stress of travel or the sore legs that come from long flights in planes, trains, and automobiles can get you down. You want to be sure you have a source of relief to take on the go, but you might find yourself hesitating to pack your CBD before you take a flight.

While it’s always important to read up on the hemp laws of the state you’re flying to, you can enjoy a sigh of relief in knowing that you can take your CBD products with you on the plane so long as they fall within the legal limit of less than 0.3% THC. While certain states may not allow CBD, the products are federally legal everywhere in the U.S. So never endure a sleepless redeye flight again, with trusted help from Cheef’s line of CBD edible products.

The CBD market is a huge and ever-growing field, so with CBD companies popping up everywhere, there are many options to go through when trying to purchase CBD products. But often, brick-and-mortar stores cannot live up to the standards that they should be providing! This is one of the major reasons many consumers have turned to buying their CBD products online.

Buying online provides consumers with the advantage of having access to the necessary information to make an informed decision. For example, purchasing online can help you to confirm that the product is third-party lab tested for harmful chemicals, as you will be able to look through the company’s website for their COAs (Certificate of Analysis). Buying your CBD products online will also allow you to look for other information like country of origin or an ingredients list so you can also ensure that the CBD extracts used come from industrial hemp plants grown in the United States.

Also, buying online will give you a wider breadth of options coming directly from the manufacturers of the products, so you don’t have to deal with a go-between to get access to the top CBD edibles and oils. So if you want to get the top CBD gummies and treats without needing to leave the comfort of your own home, you’re already in the right place here at Cheef Botanicals!

New CBD consumers often want to know if they could fail a drug test from just CBD. The short answer to this question is no, taking CBD should not result in a failed drug test. However, there is a higher possibility when taking full spectrum CBD oil, full spectrum CBD gummies, or any product containing trace amounts of THC deemed legal by the food and drug administration.

To be more specific, CBD will likely not be included in any drug screening, but any test you take will likely look for THC.

While a failed drug screening is not a given following taking a full spectrum product, the chances are there. If you’re worried about triggering a failed test due to CBD consumption, avoid full spectrum extracts, and opt for a broad spectrum CBD. Broad spectrum products will contain all other beneficial terpenes and cannabinoids found in the hemp plant but without the THC. We do not recommend taking CBD products if you are subject to drug testing. 

When taking CBD edibles, it is equally as important to find your perfect serving size as it is to find the right product in the first place. But how can we find the right amount for you? Luckily, the process for finding this out is not so complicated once you get down to it!

Many factors can influence how much CBD is right for any individual. Each person’s weight, body chemistry, tolerance, and even intended use can determine the correct amount to take. Because there is no one size fits all approach to amount, the best way to start taking CBD edibles is to start low and be patient. If you are a first-time consumer, take a very small amount and wait for the onset period to kick in (45 minutes to an hour.) Then if more is needed, slowly introduce more in small amounts.

For a more precise method, you can use one of our quantity charts! Generally, they work using a simple bit of math but are extremely simple and should prove consumer-friendly. The equation for a regular amount is:

• REG AMOUNT (0.25 mg X 1 lb bodyweight)

For a strong amount, we double the milligrams of CBD per pound of bodyweight like this:

• STRONG AMOUNT (0.5 mg X 1 lb bodyweight)

To give you an example, say you weigh 120 pounds and would like to get a regular amount. To do so, all you have to do is plug your information into the equation! When you do, it should look like this:

• (0.25 mg X 120 lbs) = 30mg

If you wanted to get a strong amount using the same body weight, it would look like this:

• (0.50 mg X 120) = 60mg

You can use this simple equation to plug in any bodyweight to find the recommended amount; try it out if you are new to taking CBD or would like to ensure you take a consistent am0unt every time!
