CBD has been shown to offer potential health benefits, such as the reduction of anxiety, depression, and insomnia. As its legitimization continues globally, various dazzling consumption methods are showing up as available. For those of you looking to break into the CBD market, this section will provide you with the information to find the right methods. We'll walk you through them, comparing their pros and cons so that you can choose the most appropriate one.

CBD Vape

CBD vape, in the simplest of terms, is a device designed for vape CBD, including disposable vape and pod vape. They will heat and atomize the vape CBD through the atomizer, allowing clients to inhale more smoothly.


Pros: Convenience is definitely one of its advantages. Customers can enjoy it anytime, anywhere. CBD vape usually is mild, since the material is burned at a lower temperature, it has a higher bioavailability and can achieve a wide range of flavors through the addition of terpenes. Besides, according to research, the way of inhalation can make CBD dissolve in the blood faster, which will be a boon for customers who are searching for quick onset of effects.


Cons: For clients who want to know exactly how much CBD they are inhaling in each puff, CBD vapes may be a bit of a hassle. You’d better tell customers the total CBD dose per vape, which vape has thicker clouds, and how many puffs they can take. And CBD vapes come in various quality levels. You need to find a supplier with guaranteed quality.

CBD Flower

CBD flower often comes from the hemp plant. It is dried buds taken from plants that were selectively bred to be high in CBD and low in THC. It contains less than 0.3% THC which means it won’t produce psychoactive effects.


Pros: CBD flower is the purest form of CBD consumption, and it can be absorbed as quickly as CBD vape. It has all its own natural terpenes and cannabinoids, with no added chemicals. In addition, its flavor is stronger than any other, burning it can produce a lot of smoke.


Cons: Before smoking CBD flower, it is always necessary to crush it first, which is excessively badly designed for individuals who suddenly need a puff, and it is also not convenient to carry on the go. The above-mentioned heavy smoke is not friendly to customers who like mild flavors, and such a thick smoke is equivalent to declaring to everyone around you that you are smoking hemp. In comparison to other products, its storage is also a problem, you need to pay special attention to its condition. It is also very critical to find a reliable supplier. According to different planting environments, plants' CBD content will be different. It will be more difficult to control the precise intake.

CBD Edibles

CBD edibles include gummies, dried fruits, drinks, cakes, biscuits, chocolates, capsules, and so on. They are all infused with CBD which is sourced from hemp and contains no more than 0.3% THC.


Pros: Even the most CBD-resistant customers can enjoy CBD-infused edibles. If they don't like vapes, flowers, oils, etc., adding CBD to their favorite foods is the best way to go. Edibles containing CBD are often clearly labeled with dosages, and making them is so easy.


Cons: As with any other food, you need to be aware of the expiration date, and for some edibles, refrigeration may be required to keep them fresh. At the same time, taking CBD by eating will take longer to kick in, and the effect will likewise be in an unstable state due to other food consumption.

CBD Tinctures

Tinctures refer to a highly concentrated herbal extract of CBD that is made by steeping hemp flowers or buds in alcohol, a mixture of alcohol and water, vegetable oil, or other substances.


Pros: CBD Tinctures are second only to vape in the speed of effect. Keep it under the tongue for 90 seconds to two minutes and much of the tincture will be absorbed by the blood vessels in the mouth. And they also have high bioavailability. With affordable prices and healthy potential, you can encourage your clients to incorporate them into their daily recipes.


Cons: Because of the way they are extracted, they may leave behind some additives. And in order to mask their unpalatable taste, flavorings are often added. All of these will be harmful to your health. If they don't come with a dropper, your clients won't be able to precisely measure the dose. Moreover, their effects are quick and short-lived, which may not be enough for some clients.

CBD Topicals

CBD topicals are skin-applied products that contain CBD oil, including CBD balm sticks, CBD topical roll-ons, CBD creams, CBD lotions, CBD balms, and CBD salves.


Pros: Topicals are also a more acceptable way to consume CBD. Whether you want to use them on the bus or the subway, they will not look out of place in a backpack. They are suitable for clients who only need a topical application for localized pain relief.


Cons: In contrast with other methods, the absorption rate of CBD for external use is relatively low, so more CBD oil will be needed in the product, which makes it more expensive than others. What's worse, they can't bring about the effect of relieving mental stress and may cause skin irritation.


To sum up, all consumption methods have pros and cons. Before starting your CBD business, doing in-depth research is particularly significant.
