Method of Delivery: Which CBD Format is Right for You?

Choosing the right CBD product is more than just a matter of taste; it's about bioavailability and onset time. Use this guide to find your perfect match.

Sublingual (Tinctures)

CBD oil placed under the tongue is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through mucous membranes.
Bioavailability
12-35%
Onset Time
15-45 minutes
Best For
Systemic support, anxiety relief, sleep support, and general wellness.

Inhalation (Vaping)

CBD vapor is absorbed through the lungs directly into the bloodstream for rapid effects.
Bioavailability
34-56%
Onset Time
2-10 minutes
Best For
Fast-acting relief for acute symptoms, stress, or breakthrough pain.

Oral Ingestion (Edibles)

CBD is metabolized through the digestive system and liver before entering the bloodstream.
Bioavailability
4-20%
Onset Time
30-90 minutes
Best For
Long-lasting effects, chronic conditions, and convenient daily dosing.

Topical (Creams & Balms)

CBD is absorbed through the skin to interact with local cannabinoid receptors.
Bioavailability
Localized
Onset Time
15-45 minutes
Best For
Targeted relief for sore muscles, joint pain, and skin conditions.

CBD Topicals: Targeted, Localized Relief

Best For: Muscle soreness (DOMS), joint stiffness, and localized skin issues.

How it Works

Topicals are absorbed through the skin's epidermis. They interact directly with the CB2 receptors in your skin and muscle tissue without ever entering your bloodstream.

Onset Time

1–10 minutes.

Duration

2–4 hours.

The Green Planet Advantage

Our Extra Strength Pain Relief Salve is formulated with high-potency Nevada-grown hemp and essential oils to penetrate deep into the tissue quickly.

CBD Tinctures (Oils): Maximum Control & Absorption

Best For:
Fast-acting relief, precise dosing, and systemic wellness (anxiety or chronic pain).
How it Works:
Administered sublingually (under the tongue). The CBD is absorbed by the mucous membranes and enters the bloodstream directly, bypassing the digestive system (the "First Pass Effect").
Onset Time
15–30 minutes
Duration
4–6 hours
The Green Planet Advantage:
Our tinctures come in strengths up to 3000mg, allowing you to titrate your dose down to the exact milligram.

CBD Edibles (Gummies): Long-Lasting, Systemic Support

How it Works

Gummies are ingested and processed through the digestive system and liver. While this means a lower bioavailability compared to oils, it results in a much slower, "time-released" effect.

Onset Time
45–90 minutes
Duration
6–8 hours
Best For
Sustained relief throughout the day and improving sleep quality

The Green Planet Advantage

We use pectin-based, vegan-friendly formulas that won't melt in the Las Vegas heat, ensuring consistent potency in every bite.

Edible (Gummy) Moderate Slow Long Sleep / All-Day Relief

How to Choose Your Protocol

The "Hybrid" Approach

Many of our Las Vegas customers find the best results by "layering" their products.

Example:

Take a Full Spectrum Gummy in the morning for all-day balance, and apply the CBD Roll-on specifically to your lower back or neck when tension peaks in the afternoon.

Factors to Consider:

Your Goal

Is the pain in one spot (Topical) or everywhere (Oil/Gummy)?

Your Schedule

Do you need relief now (Oil) or do you need it to last all night (Gummy)?

Discretion

Gummies are the most discreet for travel or office environments
