How Long Does CBDA Last In The Body?

Did you know that CBDA has been getting some attention lately thanks to new research that is emerging regarding its uniquely valuable effects?  This cannabinoid is becoming easier to find on the market as a result.  Plus, due to being non-psychoactive, it’s appealing to those people out there who value hemp but aren’t interested in a high of any kind.

Still, there are a number of people who want to know how long CBGA stays in the human system after the last dosage was taken.  This question is most common among those who are concerned about the potential for some kind of reaction between CBGA and something they take, whether it be a medication or otherwise.

How Long Do the Effects of CBDA Typically Last in Our System for?

Besides the length of time, it actually takes before CBDA is fully cleared from the body, you also need to consider how long you can actually feel its effects, and how long they are providing their properties to you through the endocannabinoid system (ECS).  Even after the effects have worn off, however, CBDA will still be in the bloodstream for a while as the cannabinoid metabolizes.

Now, for those who don’t know, cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) is the raw and acidic precursor to cannabidiol (CBD).  The raw buds of the hemp plant are naturally rich in CBDA, and only recently have we discovered that this non-psychoactive compound has a lot to offer thanks to its abundant properties that work with the body’s ECS.

Cannabidiolic acid will not get you high, since it has no psychoactive properties.  But, if you’re using CBDA because you want to experience one of its potential benefits, it’s good to know how long the effects will actually be active before wearing off.

• Inhalable Products (Vapes, Dabs, Flower): Any inhalable CBDA product, whether it be a disposable vape pen, pre-filled vape cart, flower, or concentrates, will absorb the fastest into the body, which means that its effects will last for the shortest period of time – 1-2 hours, on average.
• Ingestible Products (Edibles, Capsules): Any CBDA product that is ingested is going to take the longest to absorb into the body, whether it be capsules, gummies or some type of CBDA-infused beverage.  The effects of any product that’s ingested can last for up to 8 hours.
• Sublingual Products (Tinctures): A tincture absorbs through the sublingual tissue (below the tongue), allowing it to absorb somewhere between the rate of edibles and inhalable products.  The effects of sublingual CBDA can last for about 3 to 4 hours.

Is There a Duration of Time When CBDA is Supposed to Leave Our System?

We mentioned that cannabidiolic acid can remain in the body long after its effects have fully worn off.  This can be anywhere from 2-30 days, and even longer in rare instances – usually when a person’s metabolism is slow due to an issue related to their health.  Because CBDA isn’t a cannabinoid that is tested for, you really can’t know when it has fully left your system.

The process of metabolizing cannabinoids is done in stages.  

• After about a half an hour of the cannabinoid taking effect, 50% or so has fully metabolized.  
• Then, 30 minutes later, another 25%.  
• What remains in the body is 25% of the CBDA that was initially taken, which will now metabolize at a sluggish rate as the process slows down significantly.

What This Means for Drug-Testing Purposes 

Cannabidiolic acid, like we said, is not a cannabinoid that is tested for.  This means that if you are drug-tested, CBDA will not show up or influence the results.  Drug tests, whether they be urine, saliva, blood, perspiration or hair-based, are looking for evidence of THC usage, and do not check for CBDA whatsoever.

What Actually Plays a Role in How Long CBDA Could Normally Last in the Body For? 

How long it actually takes for cannabidiolic acid to fully clear out of the body is going to depend on a number of things that relate to both a person’s CBDA usage, and the way in which their metabolism works.  

#1: Frequency of Use 

How often you use CBDA plays a large role.  We said that the final stage of metabolization is slow, and if you’re constantly consuming CBDA, you’re going to end up with a traffic jam effect in which the cannabinoid is accumulating faster than the body can metabolize it.  Because CBDA is nontoxic, this is really not seen as a cause for concern.

#2: CBDA Delivery Method  

We talked about how the delivery method determines how long a person will experience the effects of CBDA.  This also likely has an impact on how long it takes for the cannabinoid to metabolize.  It’s likely that edible products take the longest amount of time, followed by sublingual products, and then inhalable products.

#3: CBDA Product Strength 

How strong a CBDA product is will definitely play a role in how long the cannabinoid takes to metabolize.  Similar to what we said about the frequency of using CBDA, consuming a lot of milligrams of the cannabinoid can cause the metabolization process to take much longer.

#4: Your Metabolism

For reasons relating to things like health, diet and even hormones, some people just metabolize compounds faster than others.  If you have a slow metabolism, then it may take longer for your body to clear itself of CBDA.

#5: When You Last Took CBDA

Obviously, recency of use is going to make a difference.  If you took CBDA two days ago, it’s more likely to be in your system than if it’s been over a month.

#6: Product Quality

Maybe to your surprise, the quality can make a difference.  CBDA products that are expired or are made using poor extraction methods may not be chemically stable enough to fully absorb into the body, allowing a lot of the cannabinoid to metabolize before it even takes effect.

How Long After Using CBDA is it Safe to Take Any Type of Medication (Prescription or Non-Prescription)?

Most of us are aware that cannabinoids can suppress the CYP3A4 enzyme that’s required to break down many common medications.  However, no studies have been conducted specifically on how cannabidiolic acid interacts with specific medications, which is why we can’t tell you exactly how long to wait until after your last dose of one to take the other.  The problem is that if enough CBDA is present in your body when you take a medication, the medication may fail to metabolize, and instead accumulate in the bloodstream which can become dangerous.

Because of this, we strongly urge you to talk to a doctor if you’re on a specific medication and want to try CBDA.  Only a physician can make recommendations regarding dosage, timing, and other aspects that relate to safety.

The Bottom Line: CBDA Can Last Up To 30 Days In Your System

Although cannabidiolic acid is an incredibly valuable cannabinoid, we’re only just starting to scratch the surface about its many promising and potentially game-changing uses.  But, some people have reasons for wanting to know how long CBDA actually remains in the body after the last dosage’s effects have worn off.  So, if you’re interested in trying this compound, but are on certain meds, once again, as we cannot stress this enough, have a word with your doctor, who can provide the most personalized guidance.

We mentioned that cannabidiolic acid can remain in the body long after its effects have fully worn off.  This can be anywhere from 2-30 days, and even longer in rare instances – usually when a person’s metabolism is slow due to an issue related to their health.  Because CBDA isn’t a cannabinoid that is tested for, you really can’t know when it has fully left your system.
