How to Use CBD Pouches

The boom in popularity of CBD has led to a rise in the types of products on sale. The original way to take CBD is as CBD oil, but coming a close second are CBD capsules and CBD gummies. As time goes on, and CBD becomes more mainstream, even more products are becoming available. Let’s take a look at CBD pouches, which are a simple, discreet and tasty way to get your dose of CBD. But how do CBD pouches work?

Not everyone has heard of CBD pouches, and they are still very much under the radar. However, for CBD connoisseurs, these handy little pouches of goodness are becoming a firm favourite. They’re full of flavour and they get to work quickly. Plus, they can be taken on the go and, as they are not chewed, no one knows you are using them. They are sure to become way more popular very soon.

CBD Pouches or CBD Dips?

CBD pouches are often called CBD dips instead, or even CBD dip pouches. If you see a reference to CBD dips, it basically means a CBD pouch – different name, same product. To keep it simple, we’ll call them CBD pouches.

What Are CBD Pouches?

CBD pouches are little pockets full of CBD-infused plant material with flavourings. They look like mini teabags and are similar to snus, the tobacco alternative so popular in Scandinavia. However, CBD pouches do not contain tobacco or nicotine, only plant-based, non-addictive material that may have a wealth of benefits. In addition, they are free from THC, so no worries about getting ‘high’ and, therefore, safe to use at any time.

Canndid CBD Pouches come in a little pot where you’ll find 20 individual pouches each providing 20 mg of CBD. The recognised dose is reassuring and easy to keep track of. People using CBD oil can be unsure of the amount they are taking, because the advertised CBD milligram content refers to the whole bottle. Unless you know how much is contained in one dropper, you might take too much or too little. But with pouches, you have that security and, of course, if there are ten pouches gone from your pot you’ve consumed 200 mg, or someone else has been dipping in!

Choosing CBD Pouches

Here at Canndid, we know our CBD pouches are the best and tastiest around, so our advice is to choose Canndid. All you really need to decide is which of the nine delicious natural flavours you want.

From Berry Blast to Mango Crush, we have something for every taste bud out there. If choosing a single flavour is too difficult, get a few different packs to try or go for the gift pack of three flavours. Check out our complete range here.

How To Use CBD Pouches

Once you’ve chosen your flavour, take out a pouch and insert it between the upper lip and the gum. Alternatively, if that doesn’t feel right, lodge it between the cheek and the gum so it’s secure. Now just get on with life and wait for the CBD to take effect.

It’s important to keep the pouch in place and not move it around. Definitely avoid chewing it. Either action could tear the pouch wrapper and spill the contents. CBD pouches mustn’t be swallowed either, so keep it securely in place and enjoy the fruity flavour and the CBD boost. A pouch should last for 30-45 minutes. Once the flavour has disappeared, dispose of the pouch responsibly.

How Do CBD Pouches Work?

CBD must be released into the bloodstream to take effect. Edibles like CBD gummies are metabolised through the digestive system and take time to work. Some of the concentration is also lost during the process meaning a 10 mg gummy will release less than 10 mg of CBD into the bloodstream. They also take a couple of hours to work. However, CBD oils, tinctures and pouches have high bioavailability, meaning the maximum amount of therapeutic compound reaches the bloodstream in the shortest time.

When CBD pouches are lodged between the gums and cheek, CBD can cross the thin mucous membranes in the mouth, and thereby reach the bloodstream quickly. There should be results once the pouch is finished.

However, as with many CBD products, they may take time to build up in the system. You may not feel any benefits with one pouch, but keep using them and, over time, the CBD should start working on the endocannabinoid system. Also, we are all individuals in unique bodies. Our physical weight and metabolism, combined with tolerance for supplements or medicinal drugs, can affect our reaction to CBD. Keep going with CBD pouches, as it may take some time to get a positive reaction. However, for some, just one pouch could make a difference. We recommended taking 3-5 pouches per day for at least three weeks.

Do You Spit with CBD Pouches?

This question only arises because certain types of chewing tobacco come as pouches and are consumed in the same way. The juices released while they sit inside the gum are spat out and, therefore, it is sometimes known as ‘spit tobacco’. However, there’s no need to spit with CBD pouches. In fact, the aim is to keep the extracts in the mouth so that any CBD not absorbed via the membranes is swallowed with the saliva. That way, it won’t be wasted and will be absorbed via the digestive process.

What’s Inside a CBD Pouch?

A CBD pouch contains ground or finely cut plant matter, including CBD, sucralose, crystalline microcellulose and food-grade flavourings. Some brands may contain coconut, so check the label if you have an allergy. They can also contain vitamins and herbs known to have therapeutic benefits that act as a companion to CBD.

Who Uses CBD Pouches?

Any adult can use CBD pouches. They are a particularly good option if you dislike the bitter, earthy taste, or texture, of CBD oil. They don’t have that classic CBD taste, but instead have a natural fruit or mint flavour that’s easy to like. Some CBD pouches are aimed at smokers and contain tobacco and/or nicotine. They are a popular choice for anyone looking to move away from cigarettes or alternative smoking products like vapes or CBD flower.

However, Canndid CBD pouches are free from tobacco and nicotine. That makes them available to anyone looking for a new way to take CBD, but also to people trying to cut down on, or quit, smoking. Limited research suggests that CBD can successfully help reduce withdrawal symptoms from tobacco and other addictive substances. Swapping tobacco or nicotine products with a CBD pouch could be beneficial on the road to becoming tobacco-free. If you are a non-smoker, be sure to check that your CBD pouch of choice does not contain nicotine or tobacco.

It’s advisable for anyone on medication to consult a medical professional before taking CBD. It is not recommended to take CBD during pregnancy or lactation.
