What is Cannabidiol?
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a cannabinoid that comes from the cannabis plant. While cannabis is a controlled substance, CBD is not. This is because it does not contain the psychoactive part of the plant, THC. THC is not found in CBD oil, or in very trace amounts. This would not be enough to get you high.
This cannabinoid has been used as an alternative medicine for thousands of years. It is non-addictive, safe and offers therapeutic benefits and relief from ailments and illnesses. These include nausea, cancer symptoms, Parkinsons, epilepsy, headaches, pain and inflammation, menstrual cramps, sleep disorders, depression and anxiety, to name a few.

What are the effects of CBD
The effects of CBD depend on who is taking it and what their condition is. Some might report that their symptoms are relieved. Others may notice the absence of seizures, lower stress levels, better sleep, fewer headaches and feelings of wellness.
Some people are more sensitive to it than others. We always suggest that while you don’t know the effect CBD will have on you it is best to start on a lower dose. This way you can increase to find the sweet spot for you personally.
However, as CBD contains no THC it won’t make you feel high. If you had a bad reaction to marijuana then you should not worry that you’ll have the same issue with CBD. However, if you are allergic to cannabis then you might be best to talk to a physician.
How do I take it?
There are a number of different ways in which you can take CBD. You can vape it, eat it, drop it on your tongue or even use cream.
The fastest ways to take CBD to enjoy the therapeutic effects is through vaping. You can use a dry herb vapouriser with flowers, or a vape device with CBD e-liquid. The second most bioavailable way to take CBD is through tincture drops. Another alternative is to use it in your cooking. We personally love brownies topped with CBD.
