6 Types of CBD Products In Canada

CBD is currently gaining mainstream success for its powerful health benefits, which many cannabis enthusiasts have known about for a long time. There are now a wide variety of CBD products that you can buy online in Canada to use medicinally or pair with your recreational cannabis.

While you can buy CBD from many companies online, you can’t always verify each product’s quality. One study found that 11% of the CBD products they tried contained no CBD whatsoever.

If you want to be positive that you’re getting all of the CBD you paid for, consider buying online from a cannabis dispensary like Happy Tree Buds. We vet our suppliers thoroughly and are experts in both CBD & THC. 

Here are six types of CBD products that you can purchase in Canada so you can figure out what kind works best for you.

CBD Oil

CBD oil is the most common method of using CBD. It’s made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant and diluting it with a carrier oil like hemp seed or coconut oil. It can be consumed on its own or used to make some of the other products on this list.

When you purchase CBD oil from a dispensary, it’s called a tincture. The price may seem a little high for a small bottle, but you can get a huge amount of CBD in just one dropper, so you should be able to use one bottle for a long time.

To use a CBD tincture, fill the eyedropper up to your desired amount of oil. Place the dropper under your tongue and release the oil. Hold the tincture under your tongue for a few seconds so it can absorb, then swallow the oil. Some people keep the oil under their tongues for up to a minute.

One of the best parts of using CBD oil is that you can put it into other substances as well. You can add a few drops to a smoothie or another beverage. You can even add it to food!

CBD Gummies

If you’re a big fan of cannabis edibles, CBD gummies are right up your alley.

CBD gummies come in a wide variety of types, doses, and flavors. They’re easy to have in your bag or keep in your medicine cabinet when you need to get to sleep or calm down. They’re also very discreet if you want to take them in public or with company over.

Some CBD edibles also contain THC. CBD & THC can work very well together to help relieve pain and reduce anxiety, so it can be a great idea to use them at the same time. Some online dispensaries in Canada carry edibles that have a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio of CBD & THC.

If you don’t like gummies, CBD comes in other edible forms, including cookies, lollipops, mints, and candy.

CBD Vapes

Most people only see vaping as a delivery method for nicotine or cannabis, but it’s also recently become popular to vape CBD.

Vaping CBD is the fastest delivery method for the cannabinoid. When you vape it, you’ll feel the effects within five minutes.

When you ingest CBD or use it topically, it needs to be processed in your body before you start to feel anything. Vaping releases the chemical compound directly into the bloodstream so it works more quickly.

Since it takes effect more rapidly, vaping CBD is a good option for people who have sudden anxiety attacks, pain flares, or tremors. It’s also great to be able to have the CBD hit right before you go to bed.

In order to vape CBD, you’ll have to buy a vape battery and a CBD cartridge. The most common type is a 510 thread. Make sure to buy vape juice, not CBD tincture. From there, you’re ready to breathe in and relax!

Topical CBD

Some health conditions can be best managed using topical CBD products like lotions, creams, salves, and serums.

Topical CBD is best used to help with pain or inflammation in a specific area of your body, like your back, joints, or neck. It doesn’t enter the bloodstream, so it won’t help with more generalized issues like depression or anxiety.

CBD lotions and creams work because there are many cannabinoid receptors on the skin. The CBD binds to them, reducing pain and inflammation.

If you have pain, arthritis, or inflammation in one or two parts of your body, it’s worth seeing how a topical treatment could affect you. People who need more widespread pain relief often choose oil or gummies instead.

CBD Capsules

Want an easy way to take CBD regularly? CBD capsules might be the answer!

You can buy CBD In pill form from an online dispensary. They contain CBD oil, and they’re pre-dosed so you don’t have to mess around with an eyedropper.

A pro of CBD capsules is that they’re discreet. You can take one like an over-the-counter pain reliever and no one would be the wiser.

CBD capsules also last longer than some other products like creams and vapes. This is because they spend more time in your system due to the digestive process. So if you need CBD for long-term pain relief, a capsule could be the best choice.

CBD Beverages

So you can eat your CBD…but did you know you can drink it, too?

CBD drinks are becoming much more common, and they’re a great way to enjoy the cannabinoid’s effects while relaxing. They’re being introduced as a social beverage like cocktails or beer.

You can buy CBD in a powdered form to put in any drink of your choice like a smoothie or protein shake. There are also premade drinks that come in cans like sparkling water, energy drinks, and iced teas.

There are even some drinks that can be made to include CBD that you might not expect, including kombucha, beer, sports drinks, hot chocolate, and hot tea. The sky’s the limit!

Wondering where else you can get CBD? Some unconventional delivery methods include:

• Joints
• Bath bombs
• Face masks
• Moisturizers
• Makeup
• Pet treats
• Pet supplements

Choosing the right CBD product for you depends on a number of factors. However, with this many options, you can try a few things and find the product that works best for you.

Happy Tree Buds carries a wide variety of CBD products, including gummies, vape cartridges, tinctures, capsules, and pet tinctures. You can order them by themselves or add some cannabis to your cart as well!
