If you’re ready to try CBD, need information about where to find the best CBD products or want to learn more about the compound itself, you’ve definitely come to the right place. 

An abbreviation for cannabidiol, CBD is a compound known as a cannabinoid. Though it is one of the 100+ cannabinoids that naturally occur in the cannabis plant, it is one of the two most popular and well-studied – the other famous compound being THC. 

Distinct from THC, the compound known for causing the mind-altering effects cannabis is known for, CBD is not psychoactive. It does not cause that “high” feeling and can be safely ingested in any setting with no reservations. 

CBD is extracted from the plant, mixed with a carrier oil, such as coconut or hemp seed oil, to create CBD oil, the most common type of CBD product and the one you are probably most familiar with. Other less familiar products like edibles, topicals and e-liquids are typically made with CBD oil. 

Extremely helpful, CBD has been shown in studies to offer a wide range of medicinal and health benefits. When taking daily, it can improve your day-to-day activities and life.

CBD products benefit those who suffer from medical conditions as well as those that do not, and has become popular in health and wellness circles not only because of its many benefits on the body, but also because it does not have any side effects. 

This makes it is seen as a natural alternative for people suffering from medical issues that wish to avoid synthetic medications, people interested in living a more natural lifestyle as well as people interested in preventative health. 

The legal status of CBD is always in question and understandably so. It comes from the cannabis plant, which has historically been stigmatized, and until very recently has also been very illegal. 

CBD comes from a particular kind of cannabis plant – hemp. Hemp cannabis plants contain very low amounts of THC, and though the growing of hemp is strictly controlled, CBD products are legal to buy and use across the UK as long as they have been derived from EU-approved hemp and contain less than 0.2% of THC.

Often, marijuana plants, another type of cannabis plant, are associated with the making of CBD products. Marijuana plants are still illegal and it is illegal to buy or use any products that have been made with oil extracted from them without specific, documented medical need.

As long as the product you want to buy is made from CBD oil extracted from hemp (which is almost always the case), you are in the clear. 

Natural and effective, CBD has anti-seizure and anti-inflammatory properties that can be used to promote overall well-being and help manage a number of medical-related symptoms. 

Common medical conditions CBD has shown to help with are: epilepsy, chronic pain, anxiety, depression, inflammation, sleeping disorders, arthritis and much more.

Some people have experienced such positive results that, with the assistance and support of their physicians, they have been able to completely replace their synthetic medication altogether.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is an amazing system in the human body that, like the cannabis plant, also naturally produces cannabinoids – called endocannabinoids.

Named after the very same compounds found in the cannabis plant, this system consists of a highly complex grid of receptors and neurotransmitters which are spread throughout the entire body. The sole purpose of the ECS is to regulate several major organ systems. 

Your ECS is considered to be one of the most important systems in your body, regulating things like your appetite, memory, mood, stress, pain, tumor regulation, inflammation and muscle tone to name a few. 

When CBD enters the bloodstream, it influences the ECS to increase or decrease the production of a particular endocannabinoid. For example if your stress is high, CBD can influence your ECS system to decrease endocannabinoids that reduce cortisol, the stress hormone.

Basically, CBD communicates with your body’s ECS to help restore and maintain balance. 

For most people, there is a low risk of negative side effects when using CBD products. When the proper dosage is used, there have been very few reported side effects. 

The side effects that have been reported include: 

• Change in Appetite

Feeling hungrier than usual is side effect common with cannabinoid usage

• Dry Mouth

If you’re experienced cannabis products in the past, dry mouth is pretty familiar to you. It’s a feeling of unquenchable thirst and mild discomfort due to dryness in the mouth and lips. Having water nearby is usually enough. 

• Excessive Drowsiness or Fatigue

Taking larger doses of CBD can lead to tiredness, which may or may not be your intention. Just remember that you should avoid using this product if you must operate heavy machinery, including driving a car. 

• Diarrhea

Related to CBD interactions with the body’s digestive system, this side effect is common for those who are taking high doses of CBD oil

It is not possible to overdose on CBD, but it is important that you use it as directed.
