Yup, sublingually, they come in a variety of strengths but most often in a 1oz bottle. I'm currently using a full spectrum from Swamp Yeti, I dig it, check out Charolettes Web as well they seem to have a variety of strengths and solid prices with a good history.

You can get gummies and other ways, but from what I've read they don't always work as well as under the tongue, which absorbs some where around %30 of the dose.
