CBD over the last 18 months has been in demand and a massive
interest in a wide range of people. There is still a lot of confusion over CBD.
In this blog, we will be helping you to understand CBD in more detail. Some of
the questions that we revive on a daily basis are what is CBD and what it does
to the body.
Cannabinol or CBD, this is a compound found within the
original cannabis plant, this plant also can potentially hold medical benefits
to many individuals with medical conditions in recent studies it has been shown
to affect neurological disorders such as epilepsy, neuronal injury, psychiatric
diseases and neurodegenerative disease. CBD is very different from THC element
of the cannabis plant this is because CBD does not hold psychoactive effects. A
lot of users of CBD have reported an improvement in general health and
well-being as well as improvements to preexisting medical conditions, In the
last 12 months of it being a mainstream topic and product. There are ongoing
medical studies into CBD oil including studies regarding the properties and
safety of using a CBD product. But it has been branded safe to use with no
significant side effects. CBD can come in many forms for consumption some of
these include; vaping CBD in an E-Liquid form, CBD tinctures, edible products
such as gummy bears, creams and many more products.
For starters CBD is found in the cannabis plant a lot of
people have been confused with the legalities of using and possessing the CBD,
this also includes the legal use of CBD within the UK this is a crucial
question asked by many of you. In short, the answer is yes it’s legal in the
UK. This is the answer because it’s used as a medicinal product which is being
sold in many high street shops and sold online too!
Most confusion comes from differentiating between “black
market” CBD oil which has a thick, sticky oily like consistency this comes from
cannabis flower resin this contains high levels of THC with CBD as well. CBD
oil itself is produced from HEMP, this type of CBD only contains less than 0.2%
THC.
Depending on the level of THC( tetrahydrocannabinol ) this
can determine to weather a CBD product is deemed legal or illegal within the
UK. As THC is what is know to give a user a “HIGH”. CBD products only contain a
minuscule amount of THC this is so users can get the full Ben if it’s of the
cannabinol within the psychoactive effects.
