Mastering Sublingual CBD: Your Guide to Enhanced Absorption

Welcome to the world of CBD, where every drop and every morsel can potentially edge you closer to an oasis of calm and wellness. Among the myriad methods of consumption, one road less traveled is the sublingual route—taking CBD oils and edibles under the tongue. Why go this way, and how do you do it right? 

Why Sublingual? The Speedy Highway to Wellness

When you take CBD sublingually, you're giving it a VIP pass into your bloodstream. Unlike ingesting CBD, which must navigate the twists and turns of your digestive system and face the liver first, the sublingual method skips all that. By placing it under the tongue, the CBD is rapidly absorbed through the mucous membranes, leading to quicker and more efficient relief. You could call it the carpool lane to wellness—less traffic, more action. 

How To: The Simple Sublingual Strategy

Adopting the sublingual approach is like learning a new smartphone swipe—it's incredibly simple once you've got the hang of it. Here's how to unlock the potential of this method:

Step 1: Measure Your Dose
Precision matters. Use the dropper provided with your CBD oil to measure your desired amount. Or follow the instructions on the edible. This same method also applies to CBN and D8. All Mixed Up D8 gummies and our new Tiger's Blood D8 tincture are great ways to enjoy your experience. FECO is best dosed in a rice size grain. Many patients put their FECO on a piece of chocolate or a date to help chew and increase saliva.

Step 2: Drop and Wait
Carefully release the oil under your tongue or suck on the edible to allow the cannabinoids to be absorbed through your blood stream. Patience is golden—wait for about 60 to 90 seconds. It might feel like waiting for water to boil, but it's worth it. The cannabinoids are making friends with your sublingual gland.

Step 3: Swallow the Rest
Life's not always neat. After you've waited, swallow any remaining oil or edible. It'll go through the traditional digestive route and won't waste any precious drops.

Step 4: Repeat as Needed
Consistency is key. Repeat this process according to your wellness schedule for the best results. 

The Afterglow

After your sublingual session, you might just notice a quicker onset of calmness or relief from discomfort. This could unfold in minutes rather than the hour or so it might take with traditional ingestion. Like having an express ticket at an amusement park, you're riding the waves of well-being faster than the standby line. 

Quick Tips for Sublingual Success

Here’s a cheat sheet to make your sublingual journey smoother:

Quality Over Quantity Invest in a high-quality CBD oil, prioritizing purity and potency. Your under-the-tongue taste buds will thank you.

Timing is Everything Consider your schedule when taking CBD. Sublingual CBD can be ideal for those looking for quick support during stressful situations or seeking relief without delay. Consider Watermelon Gummies or Morning Magic for daytime use to help reduce inflammation, pain, and anxiety. 

Storage Smarts Keep your CBD oil in a cool, dark place to maintain its efficacy. Treat it like a fine wine—except it’s fine CBD.


The sublingual method is a not-so-secret hack in the CBD world, enhancing the efficacy and speed of absorption. Whether you're new to CBD or a seasoned user looking for a more efficient route, going under the tongue could be the game-changer you've been seeking.

As you embark on this journey, remember to consult your healthcare provider or Nurse Patti if you have any medical conditions or concerns.
