CBD Cookies

What are CBD Cookies?

CBD cookies are cookies that are infused with CBD oil. CBD is extracted from the industrial hemp plant which contains less than 0.3 percent THC. They are sweet in order to appeal to the sweet tooth, but you will find CBD oil cookies are made with all-natural ingredients. When you buy CBD cookies made with ingredients like protein, vitamins and botanicals, you enjoy a sweet snack that also delivers a variety of benefits that support a healthy lifestyle.

CBD Cookies Bioavailability

CBD cookies are edibles. CBD edibles have an average bioavailability of 5-to-15 percent. One of the advantages of consuming CBD cookies is that the CBD remains in your system for a longer period of time, like other edibles. This is because the CBD must pass through the digestive system before entering the bloodstream.

This means you can enjoy the effects of CBD and other ingredients for 4 to 6 hours. Bioavailability depends on the amount of CBD in the cookie and your physical characteristics, like body weight and metabolic rate.

CBD Cookies Pros and Cons

CBD edibles are just one way to take CBD. Like any product, there are pros and cons.

Pros

• No psychoactive effects, meaning a cookie will not get you high.
• The CBD amount is pre-measured, so it is easy to take the desired amount of CBD.
• Cookies are convenient to carry throughout the day.
• Easy to eat when a dose of CBD is desired.
• The sweet flavor of products, like CBD chocolate chip cookies, hides the earthy flavor of CBD.
• Good way to begin taking CBD.
• There are vegan CBD cookies

Cons

• Bioavailability is not as high as CBD taken in a CBD tincture because the tincture does not have to go through the digestive system.
• Must carry multiple CBD cookies to keep multiple CBD doses handy, whereas CBD oils, CBD tinctures, CBD gummies or CBD capsules are purchased in one bottle or package.
• CBD may interact with prescription medications, so should only be used after consultation with a doctor if taking medications.
