What is CBD oil – and how does it work?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive CBD oil is an extract from the hemp plant that is mixed with a carrier oil (e.g. MCT or hemp seed oil). It can be precisely dosed and used discreetly – ideal for everyday use, at home or on the go.
The effect unfolds via the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which regulates many bodily functions such as sleep, stress management, the immune system and pain perception.

❓ FAQ – CBD Öl oder CBD Blüten
Was ist besser für Einsteiger*innen – CBD Öl oder Blüten?
CBD oil is usually the better choice for beginners. It is easier to dose, has a more neutral taste and is more discreet to use.
Wie schnell wirken CBD Blüten im Vergleich zu CBD Öl?
CBD flowers (e.g. via vaporizer) take effect within a few minutes. CBD oil takes a little longer – around 30 to 60 minutes – but has a gentler and longer effect.
Ist CBD Hasch stärker als Blüten?
CBD hash contains a higher concentration of cannabinoids – the effect is more intense. For beginners, we recommend starting with flowers or oil first. 👉 Discover CBD hash
Kann ich CBD Blüten auch einnehmen oder kochen?
In Switzerland, flowers are primarily sold as a flavoring product or incense. Legally, ingestion is not intended – so it is better to use CBD oil or CBD cosmetics if you are looking for something for external use.
Kann ich CBD Blüten und Öl kombinieren?
Yes – many users rely on CBD oil in the morning for clarity and concentration, and on flowers in the evening for relaxation and calm. Also CBD accessories such as vaporizers can also have a supportive effect.
Wie finde ich die richtige Dosierung bei CBD Öl?
Start with a few drops and increase slowly. Every body reacts differently – you can find more information on the effects in our Blog on the effects of CBD oil
