CBD edibles are one of the most common forms of consuming CBD oil. Whether it’s gummies, tinctures, cookies, or pastries, people are seeking out these products. The problem is that since CBD has only been federally legal since 2018, there’s still a large amount of inconsistency with products. One gummy could be stronger than the other without the packaging necessarily letting you know. You then might be asking yourself: “how long do CBD edibles stay in your system?”
The answer is typically up to five days, but it’s different for everyone. Depending on your body type, CBD could end up in your system for multiple weeks. There are several factors that go into what may keep CBD in your system for an extended period of time. One of the big ones is your frequency of use. The more CBD you consume, the more it’s going to store up over time. Here are a few other factors that go into how long CBD edibles may stay in your system.
Form of Consumption
There are two major types of CBD edibles—tinctures and food-based products like gummies or candy. With CBD tinctures, you’re consuming them under the tongue, or sublingually, which absorb into your bloodstream. This might result in them lingering around longer. With food-based edibles like CBD gummies, your digestive system is working to metabolize the CBD compounds. Eating edibles may also take a while to clear your system because your body needs to digest and absorb the compounds.
Body Type & What You Eat
CBD and THC and nearly every substance affects people differently. A CBD edible that may knock you out might not even make your friend flinch. Your overall metabolism, along with your BMI (Body Mass Index,) and water content play a role in how CBD edibles affect you. Not to mention the food you eat. Consuming CBD edibles on an empty stomach will metabolize them faster and eliminate them from your system quicker than on a fuller stomach.
When Will The Effects Kick In?
People often argue about how noticeable the effects of CBD edibles are, and how long it may take for them to kick in. This factor varies in the same way that your body type and how much or how little you’re eating affect how long CBD edibles stay in your system. Taking this into account, the strength of the edible, your body composition, and the size of the dosage all play a role in how it will affect you. Keeping this in mind, consuming CBD sublingually may bring on the effects within 15 minutes. Consuming CBD edibles though might take up to 1-2 hours to fully take effect.
Do CBD Edibles Show Up On A Drug Test?
If you’re consuming minimal amounts of CBD products on a weekly or monthly basis, it typically won’t show up in a drug test. But, if you’re consuming a lot of full-spectrum CBD edibles that contain trace amounts of THC, they might. There are three different types of CBD oils to look out for that edibles are infused with:
- CBD Isolate is just the CBD compound isolated. There’s absolutely no THC in this extraction.
- Full-Spectrum CBD utilizes all of the naturally occurring compounds from the plant they are extracted from. This means there’s small amounts of THC in this type of extraction. Hemp-derived full-spectrum blends are legally required to contain no more than .3% THC.
- Broad-Spectrum CBD is similar to full-spectrum in that it retains all the cannabinoid compounds, with the exception of THC. Broad-Spectrum oil goes through a process to eliminate the tetrahydrocannabinol compound.

At the end of the day, every body is different, and how CBD edibles affect them varies based on several factors. If you’re worried about testing positive on a drug test, you might want to steer away from heavily consuming full-spectrum CBD products.
