THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CBD_ EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CANNABIDIOL

1. THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO CBD: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CANNABIDIOL

2. What is CBD? CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the Cannabis Sativa plant, which is also known as marijuana or hemp. It's a naturally occurring substance that's used in products like CBD oils and CBD Vape to impart a feeling of relaxation and calm. Unlike its cousin, Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is non-psychoactive.

3. So CBD won't get me high? No. The cannabis plant is made up of two main components: CBD and THC. "CBD is the non-psychoactive portion of the plant, so what that means is you won't have any effects like euphoria," says Junella Chin, DO, an osteopathic physician and a medical cannabis expert for cannabisMD. "You won't feel sedated or altered in any way." There are two possible exceptions to this - The first is that some people, for unknown reasons, just react differently to CBD. It's also crucial to buy third-party tested CBD for quality assurance. Due to the lack of regulation around CBD, it is possible to buy a product that is more or less potent than advertised, or even contains small amounts of THC.

4. Where does hemp come in to all this? You've probably heard the terms cannabis, marijuana, and hemp all tossed around in relation to CBD. The plant Cannabis Sativa has two primary species - hemp and marijuana. Both contain CBD, but there's a much higher percentage of CBD in cbd hemp chocolate, which also has very low (less than 0.3%) levels of THC compared to marijuana. When people talk about hemp oil, they're referring to oil extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant. There are no cannabinoids - CBD or THC - in hemp oil.

5. What are the benefits of CBD? Over 6 million people in the UK acknowledge using CBD in the past year, while there are currently 1.3 million regular users. The CBD oil market in the UK is projected to grow to a £1 billion industry by 2025. Many people swear CBD has helped with a slew of health conditions. However, Houman Danesh, MD, director of integrative pain management for the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, states that despite a lot of anecdotal evidence around the health benefits of CBD, "it's still very difficult to say" what the real benefits are due to a serious lack of research. "Right now, you just have pharmacies trying to make some sort of sense out of it and say, 'Yes, it works for this,'" he says, "but that's not the way medicine is practiced - it should be based on evidence, and there's not a lot of evidence to really support these claims."

6. The Smoking Dilemma There has been some buzz around CBD oil being helpful to people trying to quit cigarettes, and one small, short term study published in 2013 in the journal Addictive Behaviors supports this idea: A group of 24 smokers received inhalers with either CBD or a placebo substance and were encouraged to use those inhalers for a week whenever they felt the urge to smoke. Over the treatment week, placebo treated smokers showed no differences in the number of cigarettes smoked. In contrast, those treated with CBD significantly reduced the number of cigarettes smoked by ~40% during treatment.

7. I've heard of CBD tinctures, CBD edibles, CBD vape pens...What's the best way to take CBD? The biggest differences between tinctures, edibles, and vape pens are speed of delivery and how long the effects last. CBD vape relief is faster but wears off faster too - usually in about two hours, says Dr. Chin. "Say you wake up in the morning and pulled your back out, you might want to take CBD through a vape pen, which delivers in 10 minutes." CBD tinctures and CBD edibles take longer to work but last four or five hours.
