Wholesale CBD Paste

What does full spectrum mean?

Full spectrum CBD products contain all the compounds found in the cannabis plant, including THC. THC can be controversial as it's the psychoactive component that gives the "high" associated with recreational cannabis, and THC levels are generally used to calculate legality. If buying full spectrum CBD products, including CBD paste, in the UK, it will be made from plants with less than 0.2% THC to ensure it complies with the law.

Full spectrum CBD stands in contrast to broad spectrum, which contains most cannabis compounds but excludes THC, and CBD isolate, which is CBD on its own with all other compounds removed. If a consumer wishes to avoid all THC, this is the way to go.

As to why some people choose full spectrum CBD products over broad spectrum or isolate, it's because of what's known as the “entourage effect”, when all the cannabis compounds within work together to make the product more effective as a whole.

How does CBD paste compare to other forms of CBD?

CBD paste is known for being one of the most potent fors of CBD. The only thing that might top it is smoked cannabis concentrate. This is because CBD paste is also a highly concentrated form, which means, if a consumer wants higher doses of CBD, it's more effective than oil or capsules. The fact that they can get a more powerful hit from a smaller dose means that consumers need to use less of the paste at a time, which can also be more cost-efficient in the long run.

How do I use CBD paste?

You will often find CBD paste sold in syringes, making it easy to squeeze out a small amount at a time (syringes will often have convenient measures on the side). It can then be added to drinks or food. It can even be eaten directly, whether by swallowing or just dissolving it under the tongue. For CBD paste mixed with oil, it may be used in the same way as with any CBD oil.

What are the benefits of CBD paste?

CBD paste is particularly potent, meaning that the consumer doesn't need much to get a powerful effect and it is easy to take a high dose. This can also save money in the long term. It can be purchased in broad spectrum, full spectrum or whole-plant forms, meaning that it contains many of the most important cannabis compounds, and it can be consumed in a variety of ways. Paste can easily be added to food and drink.

What are the disadvantages of CBD paste?

Whilst buying CBD paste may be more cost efficient in the long-term, it can be a more expensive initial outlay as it often has a higher price than other CBD products. CBD paste that does not have extra oils and flavourings can be very bitter. The thick texture can cause it to stick to the teeth and gums, which can be unpleasant. If a consumer is taking other medications, they must talk to their doctor first in case there is a risk of side effects.

Is CBD paste legal in the UK?

Yes, CBD paste is legal in the UK, as long as it complies with the country's regulations on CBD products. For CBD paste to be legally sold in the UK, it must contain less than 0.2% THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, which ensures the product is non-intoxicating. It is important to buy CBD paste from reputable suppliers who comply with these legal requirements to avoid any risks associated with unregulated products.

How should I store CBD paste?

CBD paste should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources to maintain its potency and freshness. Many products come in syringes or airtight containers, which help preserve the paste’s integrity. If stored properly, CBD paste can last for several months without significant degradation of its quality. It’s also recommended to avoid storing it in humid environments, as moisture can affect the paste's texture and consistency.

How long does it take for CBD paste to take effect?

The time it takes for CBD paste to take effect can vary depending on how it is consumed. When taken sublingually (under the tongue), it can be absorbed quickly into the bloodstream, typically within 15 to 30 minutes. If added to food or drink, it may take longer to feel the effects, as the paste must first be digested. The potency of the CBD paste also plays a role in how quickly its effects are felt, with higher concentrations providing faster and stronger results.

Can I mix CBD paste with other CBD products?

Yes, CBD paste can be mixed with other CBD products like oils, capsules, or creams, as long as the overall dosage is monitored to avoid overconsumption. Some people like to combine different forms of CBD to tailor their intake to specific needs. For example, they might use CBD paste for a stronger, faster effect while using CBD oil for consistent, slower-acting relief. Mixing products allows for more flexibility in how CBD is consumed throughout the day.

Is CBD paste suitable for people with allergies or sensitivities?

Most CBD pastes are made from natural ingredients, but it’s essential for people with allergies or sensitivities to check the ingredients list before purchasing. Some CBD pastes may contain added oils (like coconut oil), flavorings, or beeswax, which could trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Vegan versions are available that use plant-based waxes instead of beeswax, making them suitable for those with specific dietary restrictions.

Can I use CBD paste for targeted relief of conditions like pain or anxiety?

CBD paste can be an effective option for individuals seeking targeted relief, especially for conditions like pain or anxiety. The high potency of CBD paste means that users can take a higher dose in a smaller amount, which may lead to faster and more pronounced effects. Many users report that CBD paste helps manage pain, reduce inflammation, and alleviate anxiety, making it a versatile option for therapeutic purposes. However, it is important to consult a healthcare professional before using CBD paste for any medical condition, especially if taking other medications.
