What is CBD? Your Complete Guide to Understanding CBD

If you’ve been keeping up with health trends or looking for natural wellness solutions, you might have stumbled upon three letters making waves in the industry: CBD. But exactly what is CBD?

What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound derived from the cannabis plant. It’s one of over 100 such compounds, known as cannabinoids, found in the plant. However, unlike its more famous counterpart THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD doesn’t produce a “high” or psychoactive effect. Instead, CBD offers a range of potential health benefits without the intoxication commonly associated with marijuana.

What is CBD used for?

CBD has been studied for a variety of potential therapeutic uses. Many users and some scientific studies suggest that CBD can help with:

  • Reducing anxiety and stress
  • Managing pain
  • Improving sleep
  • Alleviating certain symptoms like nausea
  • And more!

For a more comprehensive list, refer to our article: Top 10 uses for CBD.

Is CBD a Drug?

Technically, CBD is a chemical compound, not a drug in the recreational sense. While it’s derived from the cannabis plant, it doesn’t induce a high. Most drug tests screen for THC, not CBD. However, it’s always advisable to consult with professionals (like our Customer Service team) if drug testing is a concern.

Is CBD Legal in England?

Yes, CBD is legal in England. However, there are some stipulations. The CBD must be derived from an industrial hemp strain that’s EU-approved and contains no more than 0.2% THC. Always make sure you’re buying from reputable sources, like us! Our products are fully lab tested and use premium CBD – check out our CBD gummy sample if you’re new to CBD or why not sign up to our CBD gummy subscription!

Who Should Avoid Taking CBD?

While CBD is generally considered safe, there are some cases where we advise not to take CBD:

  • If you are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • People taking other medications (always consult with a doctor if you are already taking medication)
  • Those with liver issues

For a deeper understanding of CBD’s effects on the body, consider exploring The Endocannabinoid System.

How Much CBD Should a Beginner Start With?

Determining the right CBD dosage varies from person to person. It’s commonly recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase until you find the amount that works best for you. Starting with a product like our 20mg CBD gummy sample can be a great introduction, allowing you to gauge its effects for a fraction of the price.

CBD’s popularity continues to surge as more people seek natural remedies for various health and wellness concerns. With its array of potential benefits and non-psychoactive nature, it’s becoming a go-to option for many. As with any wellness product, it’s essential to do your research and choose high-quality products to ensure the best experience.
