CBD can be consumed and utilized in many forms: including oils, tinctures, cosmetics, topical creams, gummies, chocolate, powder and off-the-shelf beverages. You might also come across food and beverage establishments adding CBD to cocktails, coffees and shake (and Carl’s Jr even has a CBD burger in select locations).
There are different types and extraction methods of CBD, including isolate, full spectrum, broad spectrum, CO2, nano technology, etc. It is important to work with an educated provider to help decide what is best for your desired outcome.
