With word about the benefits of CBD continuing to spread, people everywhere are shifting their mindsets towards Cannabis, and trying CBD for the first time. As with any new supplement or medication, many first-time users’ immediate reaction is, “How long does CBD take to work?”

While this is an important concern faced by so many first-time users, it often goes unanswered…leaving them to form their own assumptions.

Most make their best guess, others ask friends or search the internet, and, for whatever reason, some just assume it should work immediately.

This lack of knowledge creates a gap in how users understand CBD and distorts their expectations about its effects.

So, what’s the answer to this question then…How long does CBD take to work?

The Answer Varies

First off―like any other supplement or medicine―it takes time for CBD to start working.

In order to deliver its benefits, CBD first needs to be absorbed into our bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, it can then be distributed throughout the Endocannabinoid System where the cannabinoid receptors in CBD can bond with the receptors in our body.

The interaction between these receptors is the catalyst behind the many benefits of CBD.
