Frequently Asked Questions
As you learn more about the potential benefits of Hemp, we recommend that you first learn about the Endocannabinoid System that was found in the human body, and how it is connected to several functions that impact human health and well-being.
Here are some frequently asked questions about CBD:
What is CBD and how does it work?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. It is one of the many cannabinoids present in the plant and is non-intoxicating, meaning it does not produce a psychoactive effect. CBD works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is involved in regulating a variety of functions including mood, sleep, and pain perception.
Is CBD legal?
The legal status of CBD varies depending on where you are in the world. In many countries, CBD is legal as long as it is derived from industrial hemp and contains only trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive cannabinoid found in marijuana. However, in some places, CBD is still considered a controlled substance and is illegal to possess or use.
How do I use CBD?
There are several ways to use CBD, including orally (by swallowing a capsule or oil), topically (by applying a cream or oil to the skin), and inhaling (by vaporizing an oil or using a CBD-infused inhaler). The most appropriate method of use will depend on the specific product and the condition being treated.
Will CBD get me high?
No, CBD is a non-intoxicating compound and will not produce a psychoactive effect. THC, another cannabinoid found in marijuana, is responsible for the psychoactive effects associated with marijuana use.
What are the potential side effects of CBD?
CBD is generally well-tolerated and is considered safe for most people. However, some people may experience side effects such as dry mouth, drowsiness, and lightheadedness. In rare cases, CBD may interact with certain medications and cause drug interactions. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before using CBD, especially if you are taking any medications.
Can CBD be used to treat medical conditions?
While CBD has been shown to have potential therapeutic benefits for a number of medical conditions, more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness and safety. It is important to note that CBD is not a replacement for traditional medical treatment and should not be used as a sole treatment for any medical condition.
