    How Well Do You Know Your CBD? 7 CBD Facts Everyone Should Learn

    If there’s one ingredient that managed to become synonymous with health and wellness, that has to be CBD. This compound extracted from the cannabis sativa plant experienced a meteoric rise in popularity in recent years and it shows no signs of stopping. Its fame is partly due to the scientific research that has been carried out over the past few decades, but it was also fueled by the support and endorsement received from various public figures. Long story short, CBD became the talk of the town and there’s not a single soul on earth who hasn’t heard of it by now. 

    And yet, despite its popularity and the wealth of information we now have on the topic, there are many people out there who still believe in common CBD myths and misconceptions. Indeed, it can be quite difficult to discern facts from fiction or opinions when there are so many different sources stating different things. That’s how misinformation gets spread around, and the CBD stigma continues. 

    So, whether you’re a CBD consumer or you’ve never tried CBD products before but you’re curious about it, it’s time to set the record straight on CBD and get educated on this subject.  Hopefully, these 7 CBD facts will answer some of your questions and help you become more canna-savvy. 

    CBD is legal

    CBD legality is one of the issues that concern people the most. The fact that CBD can be extracted from both hemp and marijuana causes some confusion in this respect, as marijuana is illegal unless it is used for medical purposes and prescribed by a certified physician. 

    However, you should know that CBD is legal at the federal level, but only if it’s extracted from the hemp plant and contains less than 0.3% THC. Anything over this value is considered illegal and can get you in trouble. It’s also important to keep in mind that laws on cannabis and cannabis-derived products vary from state to state, so before you purchase a CBD product, make sure to check the regulations in your area just to stay on the safe side. 

    CBD is non-intoxicating

    Another thing that many people worry about is the possibility of getting high from consuming CBD. Again, this issue stems from the confusion between CBD and THC. As long as the CBD product is legal, meaning it contains less than 0.3% THC, there are zero chances of getting high from it, because THC is the substance with intoxicating properties, not CBD.

    On the other hand, saying that CBD is non-psychoactive is wrong, since the cannabinoid does interact with the central nervous system. But it does not affect judgment or the perception of reality in any way. The bottom line is, CBD is a non-intoxicating psychoactive substance.  

    CBD works better with other cannabinoids 

    Depending on how it’s processed and the chemical makeup, there are three types of CBD you can choose from: full-spectrum, board-spectrum, and CBD isolate. Apart from CBD, the full-spectrum form also contains other compounds found in the cannabis plant, such as essential oils, terpenes, or other cannabinoids like THC. Broad-spectrum CBD is quite similar to full-spectrum, with the only difference being that it contains zero or very low amounts of THC. CBD isolate, on the other hand, contains nothing but CBD. 

    As experts at Organic CBD Nugs explain, CBD works better when combined with other cannabis substances than when it’s consumed on its own – a phenomenon known as the entourage effect. So, if you’re looking for CBD products with higher therapeutic effects, full-spectrum or broad spectrum oils might be a better choice. 

    CBD has many potential therapeutic effects 

    The reason so many people decide to give CBD a try is because of its many potential health benefits. In the past few decades, research on the effects of CBD on the body has grown and there have been many interesting finds in this area. Find out more about how to use CBD intimacy oil to take your personal life to new heights.

    Several scientific studies have suggested that CBD could help offset anxiety and depression, improve symptoms of seizures and epilepsy, alleviate chronic pain, protect against neurological disorders, treat opioid addiction, or ensure better sleep quality. Although research on CBD is still in its early stages, current finds are very promising. 

    CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system 

    Although we now have evidence that CBD can be beneficial for our mental and physical health, the way it interacts with our bodies is not yet fully understood. Scientists still have a long way to go to decipher the mechanism behind how CBD works. 

    But what is known is that the effects we experience from consuming CBD are mostly due to the compound’s interaction with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our body. The ECS is made up of different receptors that cannabinoids bind to and trigger certain responses, thus producing a range of effects. However, the specifics of how this happens remain a mystery for now. 

    There’s a wide variety of CBD products on the market 

    If you’re thinking of jumping on the CBD bandwagon and trying out a few CBD products, brace yourself because you’ll be spoilt for choice. There are so many CBD products on the market right now that you won’t know which one to try first. From oils and capsules to edibles and topicals, CBD can be found in all types of products to cover all needs, tastes, and preferences.  

    So, you might want to do a bit of research before choosing a CBD product, just to make sure you’ve made the right decision and you won’t be disappointed in it. Purchasing products from reputable providers can certainly enhance your chances of having a pleasant CBD experience. 

    CBD is generally well tolerated 

    For those who worry about the negative side effects of CBD, we have good news. CBD is generally well tolerated by everyone, so the possibility of having negative reactions after using a CBD product is very slim. 

    However, there have been some reports about people experiencing sleepiness, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting due to CBD use. So, if you want to stay safe, it’s recommended to start with small doses of CBD and work your way up until you find the right dosage and talk to your medical provider for guidance.
