What are CBD crystals?
CBD crystals represent the most concentrated form of cannabidiol available on the market.
They contain up to 99% of this cannabinoid extracted from the hemp plant, most often from the Cannabis L. Sativa and Cannabis Indica strains. The manufacturing process removes virtually all other components of the cannabis plant such as THC, flavonoids, trichomes and other non-psychotropic cannabinoids, such as CBG, CBN and CBC, leaving only good CBD in the form white powder or crystalline solids.
To obtain these crystals, producers mainly use carbon dioxide (CO2) in the supercritical phase. It all starts with extraction, where gas is applied under high pressure to extract the CBD from the cannabis plant without the use of chemical solvents.
Subsequently, the raw CBD is purified to remove other plant substances. Finally, pure CBD is crystallized by coolingto form solid crystals or white powder.
Why consume CBD in crystal form?
Thanks to their high concentration, CBD crystals are effective even in small quantities. They are also tasteless and odorless, which necessarily appeals to consumers who do not like the organoleptic profile of more organic CBD products like hemp flowers and oils.
Also note that their purity guarantees the absence of additives and contaminants, which will particularly suit those who are attentive to the quality of the products they consume.
Of course, crystals increase the virtues of CBD due to their high concentration. The consumer will be able to benefit from the soothing, anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antioxidant effects of cannabidiol in its purest form.
How to consume CBD crystals?
You have the choice between several methods of consumption, starting with sublingual administration which gives almost instantaneous results (around fifteen minutes). Simply place the crystals under the tongue and allow them to dissolve for approximately 60 seconds before swallowing.
You can also dissolve CBD crystals in fats like butter or olive or coconut oil. Then use this product to cook and/or season your everyday dishes. Be careful, however, not to expose the CBD crystals to too high temperatures to preserve their properties.
You can also mix CBD crystals with body oils, creams or lotions, then apply the product to the skin. This method is effective in relieving localized pain and inflammation. If you suffer from an inflammatory skin condition, such as psoriasis, adult acne or even eczema, talk to your dermatologist about the benefits of incorporating CBD crystals into your care.
You can finally vaporize your CBD crystals in a vaporizer suitable for concentrates. Heat at a controlled temperature, no more than 180° C, to avoid combustion which generates harmful products.
