CBD, or cannabidiol, is a molecule found in cannabis that possesses therapeutic properties without producing psychoactive effects. In this article, we'll present 10 trends and different ways to consume CBD in 2024.
CBD oil
One of the most popular and simple ways to consume CBD is in oil form.It can be added to food or drinks, or simply taken directly under the tongue for a quick effect.
CBD capsules
For those who prefer to avoid the taste of oil, capsules CBD are an excellent alternative. They offer precise and consistent dosing while being discreet and easy to carry.
CBD-infused food products
The growing interest in CBD has led to an explosion of creativity in the culinary world, with all sorts of food products containing CBD. A few examples include:
- CBD chocolates
- CBD-infused honeys
- CBD cookies and pastries
- CBD sauces and dressings
CBD drinks
In addition, a range of CBD- is also available:
- CBD teas and infusions
- CBD-enriched coffees
- CBD energy drinks
- Alcohol-free CBD cocktails
CBD cosmetics
Because CBD has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, it is also available in cosmetic products for skincare. These include moisturizing creams, lip balms, serums, and purifying masks containing CBD.
CBD e-liquids
Vapers are not left out, with a wide selection ofe-liquids sold in various concentrations. CBD can be vaped on its own, by mixing a few drops with your favorite e-liquid, or even by using a specific vaporizer for concentrates.
CBD flowers
For those who prefer to consume the plant directly, CBD flowers are now available. They generally contain less THC than traditional cannabis (less than 0.2%) and are therefore legally sold in several countries.
CBD crystals
Crystals are a very pure and isolated form of CBD. They can be dissolved in oils or e-liquids to create custom concentrations, or used in cooking to add CBD to your recipes.
CBD infusions
CBD is also perfect for use in the form of an infusion. The advantage of this method is that it allows for a slower and more gradual absorption of the effects, which can be particularly beneficial for chronic problems such as stress and anxiety.
CBD ointments and balms
Finally, CBD ointments and balms are ideal for relieving localized pain, particularly muscular and joint pain. They are often combined with other natural ingredients such as camphor and arnica to optimize their analgesic effect.
With this range of possibilities, there's no doubt that CBD will continue to become more prevalent in our daily lives and well-being. However, it's important to remember that while CBD consumption is legal, driving under its influence remains illegal. Similarly, it's best to consult a professional before regularly incorporating CBD into your routine – especially if you're undergoing medical treatment or have specific allergies.

Julien Cordobes is the editor of CBD.fr. Born in 1978 in the Paris region, he first trained in e-commerce before turning to natural health approaches, a dual perspective that now structures his way of writing about cannabidiol: reading the scientific literature as it is, without hardening the conclusions, and presenting it in a language that everyone understands.
He discovered CBD at a time when the French market was developing faster than the information available to it. He acquired CBD.fr in 2022 and then took on editorial responsibility for the blog. Since then, he has published numerous articles covering the daily use of CBD, the interpretation of laboratory analyses, the evolution of the legal framework, and precautions for use.
