What Is CBD Isolate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD available today. At 99% purity, there\u2019s little room to make this any more concentrated than it already is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cannabinoids interact with our endocannabinoid system<\/a> to produce a range of effects, depending on the cannabinoid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of CBD<\/a> include reduced anxiety<\/a>, pain relief<\/a>, reduced inflammation<\/a>, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How To Use CBD Isolate<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best part about CBD isolate is its versatility. Because of its odorless, flavorless profile and powder form factor, you can add CBD isolate to just about anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are three ways to use CBD isolate powder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>1. Make Your Own CBD Tinctures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the best uses for CBD isolate powder is to make your own DIY CBD tinctures<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD dissolves well in fats but poorly in water. You can easily make your own CBD oils at home at whatever potency you want. You can also add terpene concentrates<\/a> to add any flavor you want to the tincture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, weigh out your dose of CBD isolate. Most CBD oils contain increments of 300, 500, 1000, 1500, or 2000 mg of CBD per 10z (30 mL) bottle. Double each amount if you\u2019re using larger, 2 oz (60 mL) bottles instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a chart to compare the potency of the oil based on the total amount of CBD you decide to add:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/td>Potency (mg\/mL)<\/strong><\/td>Potency (mg\/drop)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
300 mg CBD Isolate<\/strong><\/td>10 mg\/mL<\/td>0.3 mg\/drop<\/td><\/tr>
500 mg CBD Isolate<\/strong><\/td>17 mg\/mL<\/td>0.6 mg\/drop<\/td><\/tr>
1000 mg CBD Isolate<\/strong><\/td>33 mg\/mL<\/td>1.1 mg\/drop<\/td><\/tr>
1500 mg CBD Isolate<\/strong><\/td>50 mg\/mL<\/td>1.7 mg\/drop<\/td><\/tr>
2000 mg CBD Isolate<\/strong><\/td>67 mg\/mL<\/td>2.2 mg\/drop<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Next, pour the powder into an empty tincture bottle and fill it up to the neck with any carrier oil of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t fill the bottle to the top because once you add the dropper, it’s going to cause everything to spill out and make an oily mess everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some good carrier oil options<\/a> are hemp seed oil, MCT oil, or sweet almond oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seal up the tincture bottle and give it a good shake. Let the bottle sit overnight and shake it some more. Repeat the process until you see no more CBD isolate sediment sitting at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also add a few drops of terpene extract or some essential oils to give it some flavor. Don\u2019t exceed about 5 drops for a 1 oz bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>2. Use it In Cooking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can use CBD isolate powder in cooking. There are a few ways to do this, but the best is to dissolve it into some butter or another cooking oil first using the same method outlined above for making tinctures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then use this CBD-infused cooking oil to use in baking or cooking as you please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If using butter, make sure to melt it in a pot or in the microwave first so the CBD isolate will be able to dissolve completely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A standard stick of butter is about 120 mL. So a good starting point would be to add 2000 mg (2g) of CBD isolate per stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>3. Make Your Own Vape Oils<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Making CBD-infused vape oils<\/a> follows the same process as making a tincture. You can either buy premade vape oil or make it yourself by mixing vegetable glycerine and propylene glycol together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The usual formula is to use equal parts VG to PG and anywhere from 300 to 2000 mg of CBD isolate per 30 mL of oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add flavor, pick up some concentrated terpenes and add about 4\u20136 drops per 30 mL of vape oil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>4. Vape it Directly In a Mesh or Mod Vaporizer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mesh vapes are designed to vaporize concentrates. They work with CBD powders<\/a>, shatters, pastes, and waxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every vape is different, but the general idea is to open the top compartment, expose the stainless steel mesh, and pour on the desired dose of CBD isolate powder. Close it up and hit the power button to instantly vaporize the entire dose in one puff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be careful how much CBD powder you\u2019re using because these vapes will evaporate the entire dose with one click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start with about 10 mg of CBD isolate and go up from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This method has a bit of a learning curve but delivered the strongest CBD hits possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also use other cannabinoid concentrates with this same method. It\u2019s a popular method for people using delta 8 THC distillates<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What\u2019s The Dose of CBD Isolate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The dose of CBD is going to be different for everybody. The dose can change depending on your individual metabolism, sensitivity to CBD, and tolerance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start low and increase the dose once you\u2019re familiar with how CBD feels for you<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD is non-psychoactive, but very high doses can have a psychoactive-like effect. It\u2019s unlike the high from THC, but it may still be strong enough to affect your ability to drive<\/a> or work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good starting dose for CBD is around 10 mg. Experienced users often take closer to 50 mg per dose once they\u2019re familiar with how CBD makes them feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>CBD Isolate vs. Full-Spectrum Extracts: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are technically three different types of CBD extracts \u2014 isolates, full-spectrum extracts, and broad-spectrum extracts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the pros and cons of CBD isolate vs. full-spectrum hemp extract<\/a> or broad-spectrum CBD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>1. Full-Spectrum CBD<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Full-spectrum CBD products<\/a> contain CBD as well as other cannabinoids, terpenes<\/a>, and flavonoids extracted from the cannabis or hemp plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All hemp and cannabis plants contain more than one compound. During the extraction process for full-spectrum CBD products, those other compounds are extracted along with the CBD. Then, they end up in the product you buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your full-spectrum CBD products might include trace amounts of CBG (cannabigerol<\/a>), THC (tetrahydrocannabinol<\/a>), CBN (cannabinol<\/a>), or any other cannabinoid<\/a> present in the original plant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that all CBD products have less than 0.3% THC, so you’re unlikely to feel high or experience any psychoactive effects from a full-spectrum CBD product, even if it contains some THC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
