Vapes
Vaping CBD is probably the quickest way to get it into your bloodstream. While edibles and oils can take between 15-30 minutes to take effect, the benefits of CBD when vaporized are almost instantaneous.

Vaping is also a healthy way of ingesting CBD. As opposed to smoking, vaporizing CBD vape liquid releases very few toxins and is generally considered safe. In addition, the number of flavors of vape liquid out there today are wide-ranging, making for an incredibly interesting vaping experience.

Isolates
CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD that you can buy in Canada. It usually comes in the form of crystals or a fine odorless powder and is great for people who want a strong hit of CBD without ingesting any of the other cannabinoids or terpenes from the cannabis plant. It is usually used by people who need to take CBD in high concentrations to alleviate pain.
One of the great things about CBD isolate is its versatility. You can do almost anything with it, including dabbing it or putting it in food or drink. But that is not to say that you can’t still take it the old-fashioned way of just putting a bit under your tongue and letting it dissolve.
