Although this is the slowest consumption method, you will feel the effects of CBD gummies sooner if you ingest it on an empty stomach.<\/p>\n
Is there a difference between Full Spectrum and THC-Free CBD Oil?<\/h2>\n
CBD oils come in a few different varieties. The key to knowing how long it will stay in your body is to understand exactly what\u2019s in these different CBD products.<\/p>\n
Full Spectrum CBD Oil<\/h3>\n
Full Spectrum oil is made from complete extractions of the hemp plant. This material contains CBD in addition to a host of other cannabinoids and terpenes – including CBC, CBG, CBN, and THC. It is widely considered to be the most effective extract due to the Entourage Effect – a synergy between each of the active cannabinoids working in unison.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The CBD present in these oils works the same way as any other CBD and follows the rough timelines we discussed previously. The THC present in full spectrum CBD can remain in your body for weeks at a time due to how well it binds to you body’s fat cells. This is of particular concern if you are drug tested for any reason.<\/p>\n
THC-Free CBD Oil<\/h3>\n
Traditionally, THC-free oil is made with pure CBD isolate, an extracted compound that contains only CBD. Although it is effective, you\u2019ll find that it is slightly less so than full spectrum oils. Its advantage is that you don\u2019t have to worry about drug testing issues with products made this way.<\/p>\n
Broad spectrum CBD is another option that is usually THC-free, but it is important to check third party lab results, since not every oil is extracted cleanly.<\/p>\n
How long does pure CBD oil stay in your system?<\/h4>\n
For the most part, any CBD you take is gone from your body within a week. To get the most benefit from CBD, you\u2019ll need to take it on a regular basis. If you only use CBD every once in a while, the benefits won\u2019t be nearly as noticeable and you may feel as if you\u2019re wasting your time.<\/p>\n
How long will I feel CBD for?<\/h2>\n
Depending on the method of use, you\u2019ll feel the effects of hemp derived CBD for up to 8 hours from the time you use it. There\u2019s always some variation from person to person, which is why we suggest titrating. This is the concept of starting low and slow, increasing the amount of CBD you take over time until you notice the desired results.<\/p>\n
By using this technique, you\u2019ll be using the least amount of CBD possible to get results, and you\u2019ll have the added benefit of knowing exactly how much you need, so you won\u2019t waste any by using more than necessary.<\/p>\n
How long does CBD oil stay in your system?<\/h2>\n
Different cannabinoids can stay in your body for different amounts of time, so there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all answer, and it depends on whether you use CBD frequently. It\u2019s best to break down each one individually and tell you what that means for how you\u2019ll feel.<\/p>\n
How long does CBD stay in the body?<\/h3>\n
To recap, CBD can stay active for as little as an hour and as long as 8-10 hours. It will break down and be undetectable in your body within a week, give or take a few days based on your unique use scenario. Fortunately, there are no known employers including CBD in their drug screens, so you can use pure CBD itself freely without any concerns.<\/p>\n
How long does CBG stay in your body?<\/h3>\n
Cannabigerol, or CBG, works very similarly to CBD. It remains active for a few hours, and will disappear within a week given light use. Continued long-term use can make it last longer than this before breaking down.<\/p>\n
Like CBD, CBG is not an intoxicating compound and is not screened for in drug tests. Thus, the length of time in stays in your body is more important when discussing the benefits than it is when discussing any risks.<\/p>\n
How long can CBN stay in your system?<\/h3>\n
Cannabinol, or CBN, is a compound of note because of how it is created. When THC breaks down in the presence of heat, oxygenation, or light, it can convert partially into CBN. Although CBN itself is non-intoxicating, there is the potential for it to exist alongside trace amounts of THC.<\/p>\n
In a full-spectrum product that contains small amounts of THC and CBN, this changes nothing. But, if you\u2019re taking a product with high amounts of CBN, there have been instances in which third party labs report tiny amounts of THC being present. You should avoid these products if you\u2019re subject to drug testing, because the trace THC levels can cause you to fail a test, similarly to the way full spectrum oils behave.<\/p>\n
How long does THC last in your system?<\/h3>\n
For all the talk of how long CBD stays in your body, this is the real question! THC can last longer than any other cannabinoid in the body<\/u><\/a>, and it\u2019s also the specific compound that drug tests are looking for. Whereas CBD and its companions can last for up to a week, research has shown that THC routinely has a half-life as high as two weeks! This means that THC can remain in the body for weeks to months after use.<\/p>\n Since THC is present in smaller amounts in a full-spectrum oil that it is in marijuana products, it won\u2019t last nearly as long in the body of a CBD user compared to a marijuana user.<\/p>\n However, most drug tests designed to detect THC metabolites – even with a false positive – don’t give you a second chance. So, ingesting THC-containing products isn\u2019t a risk worth taking if you deal with drug tests on a regular basis.<\/p>\n There is some confusion nowadays between hemp oil and CBD oil, and it\u2019s important to clarify the differences between the two. CBD oil is made using an extraction that targets the flower of the plant only. The flower is where all the active, beneficial cannabinoids like CBD and THC live. Conversely, hemp oil is made from the seeds of the plant, which contain plenty of beneficial omega fatty acids, but no cannabinoids.<\/p>\n All this to say, hemp oil can be treated like any other food and won\u2019t last in your body any longer than it takes you to digest it.<\/p>\n There are individual factors that affect how long CBD stays around, and these differ from person to person. Amount, frequency, and personal biology are the biggest factors to take into consideration.<\/p>\n Cannabinoids – the class of compounds that CBD, THC, and others belong to – are naturally stored in fat cells. The amount of time taken for them to leave the body is dependent on your individual metabolism. How fast you process naturally, and how much body fat you have both impact the rate at which you metabolize CBD.<\/p>\n If you have little body fat and a fast metabolism, you\u2019ll notice the effects of CBD come and go much faster. Conversely, higher body fat and slower metabolism both make the results of CBD use slower to come on and to leave.<\/p>\n The dosage when taking CBD is also important to consider. Imagine two scenarios: one where you need to empty a 1 gallon bucket of water through a garden hose, and another where you need to empty a 5 gallon of water through a garden hose. The size of the hose is the same in each scenario, so the 5 gallons of water will take more time to get from end to end than 1 gallon will.<\/p>\n In much the same way, your body will not process CBD faster just because there is more of it. Higher CBD concentration doses will remain present and active in the body for much longer than smaller doses will. In 2018, researchers determined that CBD may last for less than 24 hours with light use, but can remain in the body for up to 5 days with regular use.\u00a0<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n How long it\u2019s been since the last time you took some CBD also makes a difference. Going back to that garden hose analogy, pouring in more water before the hose empties won\u2019t make things go any faster, it just creates more work to do.<\/p>\n The more frequently you use CBD, the longer it will last before dissipating. This can also be beneficial – the more frequently you use CBD, the more you will notice its benefits.<\/p>\n Drug tests screen for THC specifically, and not CBD compounds. This means that you should avoid full spectrum CBD oils if you are being drug tested, since they can contain small amounts of THC which stays in your system. The method of testing doesn\u2019t make a difference – blood tests, urine tests, and saliva tests can all detect the trace amounts of THC present in full-spectrum CBD.<\/p>\n There are two important ways to approach how long CBD remains in your system. The first is from a practical perspective of potential health benefits, and the second is from a drug-testing perspective. Here are the important parts that sum up everything you need to know as you consume CBD products.<\/p>\n Practically speaking, you will notice the effects of CBD between 10 minutes and 2 hours after taking some, depending on the delivery method. Inhalation will always be on the lower side of that spectrum, and ingestion will be on the higher side. The effects will last for anywhere between 2 and 8 hours on average, and the CBD itself will remain detectable in your body for up to a week.<\/p>\n When subject to drug testing, the CBD in full spectrum oils will act as we discussed above. The THC that comes along with full spectrum oil can remain in your bloodstream for weeks to months, depending on how much and freely you partake.\u00a0In this instance, it’s best to choose a THC-free CBD product.<\/p>\n <\/p>\nHow long does hemp oil last in your body?<\/h3>\n
