What are CBD inhalers? Despite the rapid growth in the CBD industry, getting consumers to see the therapeutic benefits of hemp is a challenge. For years, legal issues surrounding the use of cannabis have muddied many people’s understanding of hemp vs. marijuana, and in turn, the difference between CBD and THC. For one thing, CBD is entirely different than THC, and it won’t get someone high or otherwise impair their ability to function. Enterprising CBD manufacturers are beginning to make CBD devices and products that resemble conventional medical devices. In this case, CBD inhalers.

What is an inhaler?

An inhaler is a small, portable device that’s used to administer medication straight to the lungs. Users place the mouthpiece of the inhaler in their mouth and pump the device a set number of times while inhaling. It’s important to understand that the inhaler itself is not a drug, but a device used to deliver drugs. The most common types of inhalers are used to treat asthma. Inhalers are life-saving devices because users can carry them in a pocket or a purse at all times, and quickly get a dose of medication if they are having an asthma attack or another serious medical issue.

There are two types of inhalers. The most common type is called a metered dose inhaler, or an MDI. Metered dose inhalers are similar to aerosol spray cans. The second type of inhaler is called a dry powder inhaler, and these devices deliver medication in a powder form, not in an aerosol spray form that happens with an MDI.

Inhalers are similar to nebulizers, but these two devices are not the same thing and should not be used interchangeably. A nebulizer is a small, stationary machine that turns medications into a fine mist, and the user places a mask that’s attached to the nebulizer over their face so that they can inhale the medication. While inhalers deliver a quick, rapid dose of medicine on-the-go, nebulizers can be used to administer drugs for a half hour or more while the patient is seated and wearing the mask.

What drugs are typically administered via an inhaler?

The majority of inhalers that are prescribed in the U.S. are used to treat asthma. Most will contain steroid drugs like prednisone. When someone has an asthma attack, their airways become inflamed and constricted. Prednisone and other steroid drugs treat the inflammation and when administered in an inhaler, can work very quickly. Some inhalers used for asthma will also contain a bronchodilator medication to expand the airways further. Inhalers are also used to treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Drugs used to treat influenza can also be administered via an inhaler.

Most inhalants will last for up to five hours after a user takes one to two puffs of the medication.

What do CBD inhalers do?

CBD inhalers appear similar to inhalers used to treat asthma and other respiratory problems. The devices create an aerosol spray mist when used that consumers can inhale to get a quick dose of CBD. What’s beneficial about CBD inhalers is that they deliver a precise dose per puff. When using things like CBD creams, tinctures, or concentrates, it can be difficult for users to measure out and get an exact dose. This can be especially difficult for users who are new to taking CBD.

A CBD inhaler will contain water-soluble hemp oil, which increases the product’s bioavailability and absorption rates. Most CBD inhalers use full-spectrum CBD oil so users can get the entourage effect of the different cannabinoids in the hemp plant, as well as the terpenes that give the product a distinct taste and smell. It’s also possible for CBD enthusiasts to find CBD inhalers infused with aromatherapy essential oils for increased benefits. A lavender-infused CBD inhaler can help someone relax, while lemon and spearmint inhalers can be invigorating. There are also scent-free CBD inhalers on the market too.

For consumers who like to inhale their CBD, vaping creates a misty cloud which can be attention-grabbing, and users have to continually measure the dose of vaping material they want to use. With an inhaler, the doses are already measured in a precise manner. Some would argue that CBD inhalers are more convenient and discreet than other CBD devices.

What are the risks associated with CBD inhalers?

No substance is 100% safe for every person to use. Some users may find inhalants irritating, especially if they are scented with additional essential oils. Also, CBD can interact with certain prescription medications. It’s critical that consumers speak to their physician before trying CBD. However, CBD is a non-addictive substance, and it’s not possible to overdose on it.

Do consumers need a prescription for a CBD inhaler?

The FDA does not regulate CBD, and it’s not considered medication or a prescription drug. CBD is a supplement, and it is not subject to strict, uniform requirements. Consumers can buy CBD products, including inhalers, over-the-counter. It’s possible to find CBD sold in grocery stores, health food stores, boutiques, pharmacies, and through online CBD retailers. But because CBD is not a regulated industry at this time, it’s important that consumers do their research into a CBD company before purchasing. Products can be mislabeled, and with mislabeled products, consumers run the risk of not being able to get a beneficial and accurate dose of CBD.
