Cannabis has become extremely popular in the past few years. Since CBD is one of the most prominent cannabinoids within the cannabis plant, many people have become curious about its effects in consumption methods such as vaping. CBD may not get you high, but it does have quite a few health benefits depending on how you use it.

How Does CBD Vaping Feel?
Most people report feeling relaxed and calm after vaping CBD. Within a few minutes, the relaxing feeling can turn into drowsiness or feeling sleepy. CBD is one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in marijuana and hemp that has received quite a good name for its therapeutic properties. It is best known for its ability to relieve symptoms commonly associated with:
- Anxiety
- Inflammation
- Depression
- Insomnia
- Chronic pain
- Epilepsy
It is important to note that you should always consult with a medical professional before taking CBD for a specific condition. They will be able to tell you what the best dosage and consumption method will be, and can advise you on whether CBD may interfere with any current medication you are taking.
Does Vaping CBD Get You High?
No, vaping CBD oils will not get you high. Most CBD oils that are processed into vaping liquids are derived from industrial hemp plants. These only contain trace amounts of THC (the cannabinoid that results in the feeling of being high) – only up to 0.3%. This is by no means enough THC to get you high. You may feel calm and relaxed, but you will not get stoned. This concentration is not even enough to be detected on a drug test (if that is something you are concerned about).
CBD can also moderate the high produced by THC – when e-liquid or oils contain higher concentrations of CBD with trace amounts of THC, the CBD will actually prevent the body from breaking down THC and entering the bloodstream.
Many people prefer this aspect of CBD, especially if consuming cannabis with high THC concentrations makes them more anxious. CBD has a much more calming effect, and given its mildness, you do not need to worry about having a bad trip in the slightest.
How Do I Know If My CBD Vape Juice Is Legit?
CBD that is made for vaping purposes is usually referred to as “vape oil”. This is not actually an oil, it simply makes it easier to differentiate from other vape juices. If CBD vaping oil contains anything other than VG, PG, CBD extracts, cannabinoids, and terpenes, it is unsuitable for inhalation.
Be sure to check the ingredients on the label of your product – also check for keywords like vaping, vape juice, and e-liquid. You can also do some research on the brand and check out product reviews to verify its legitimacy.
CBD Recommended Dosage
Recommended Dosage | 36 kg – 68 kg | 69 kg – 108 kg | 109 kg + |
Low Dosage | 12 mg | 18 mg | 22.5 mg |
Medium Dosage | 15 mg | 25.5 mg | 30 mg |
High Dosage | 18 mg | 27 mg | 45 mg |
Note that this is not applicable for everyone – you should consult a medical professional for more information. It is best to start off with the lowest dosage to see how it makes you feel. If you do not get the desired results, you can always increase the dosage steadily until you reach that sweet spot.
Factors That Influence CBD Dosage
As previously mentioned, there is no specific CBD dosage that is guaranteed to work best for you. The optimal dosage for you depends on a wide range of factors, some of which include:
- Which symptoms you wish to treat (and the severity of these symptoms)
- Body weight
- General tolerance
- Age
- Your natural metabolic rate
Since everyone’s endocannabinoid system is slightly different, CBD often yields very different and unique results depending on the individual.
CBD Vaping Dosage
The usual CBD vaping cartridge contains around 100 mg of CBD. This delivers around 1-2 milligrams of CBD for each puff you take. When using a CBD vape or tank, you will be consuming a bit more CBD per puff, depending on the device you are using and the strength of your CBD liquid.
Once again, the best way to find the perfect dosage would be to start with a low dosage and work your way up slowly. Start with the smallest dosage, around 1-2 mg of CBD (1-2 puffs) and wait about 6 hours until your next hit. This will give your body enough time to fully absorb the CBD and experience the effects it has on you.
If you do not feel much of its effect, you can start to gradually increase your dosage by 5 mg each time. It is important to pay close attention to how you feel after every dose – you may not notice it right away.
On average, CBD users take around 10-30 mg per day. For more serious conditions such as severe pain and inflammation, the dosage can go anywhere from 200 to 1 000 mg per day – it all depends on which dosage gives you the best results.
Keeping Bioavailability In Mind
Bioavailability refers to how much of the CBD content will actually be absorbed into the bloodstream. Each CBD delivery method has its own level of bioavailability.
Vaping CBD has the highest bioavailability out of all the CBD consumption methods. It provides similar results to capsules, tinctures, and edibles, while you have to use much less of the product. The percentage of CBD that is absorbed depending on each product is as follows:
- CBD edibles and capsules: 5 to 15 %
- CBD tinctures: 20 to 30 %
- CBD patches/topicals: 35 to 40 %
- CBD flower/vape oils: 40 to 50 %
Therefore, if you vape 10 milligrams of CBD, your body will only absorb 4 to 5 milligrams of CBD. You should keep this in mind when calculating your CBD dosage.
Potential Side Effects Of Vaping CBD
The most common side effect of vaping CBD is mild drowsiness – which is also the reason why many users prefer this method. It is much more common with new users and those who vape high dosages.
Other potential side effects include slight feelings of euphoria, increased appetite, and red eyes. These side effects are not very common, and when compared to other prescription drugs, side effects of CBD are much less pronounced and less problematic, but it is still safest to consult with a medical professional before use.
Can You Overdose On CBD?
To date, there has not been a single case of overdose on cannabis and its related components. Scientists have also conducted controlled experiments, and in each case, the consumption of these components did not lead to any life-threatening situations. This is because CBD has an extremely low level of toxicity. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to consume enough cannabidiol in a given period of time to induce lethal consequences.
CBD is a safe and effective option for many users who are looking for a calming and relaxing experience to reduce symptoms of various health conditions. You should always consult a medical professional before using these products to ensure that it is a good and safe option for you. We encourage safe and responsible use of cannabis related products, so be sure to do your research and purchase products from reputable brands.
