What is the effect of CBD?

It's amazing how powerful one plant extract can be – and the health benefits that this extract brings. The benefits of CBD far outweigh the drawbacks (side effects) of CBD. Before we get into this, we would like to remind you what it is and where CBD comes from.

 

CBD (also known as Cannabidiol) is the most well-known substance that originated in the "Cannabis Sativa," or the hemp plant. In addition to CBD, more than 100 other cannabinoids have been discovered; these occur naturally in the hemp plant. Other well-known cannabinoids are THC, CBG, and CBN.

 

How does CBD Oil make you feel?

It's natural to wonder how you're going to feel when you take CBD. A big misconception is that you will feel “high” from CBD, like THC. CBD is non-psychoactive, which means that you cannot experience the same feelings as other types of cannabis with a high THC content. The hemp strain from which CBD is extracted has only 0.3% of THC in the whole plant. Therefore, this hemp strain “Cannabis Sativa” is also considered legal and is widely cultivated for the industry.

 

In continuous surveys of people who use CBD, many users report that CBD makes them feel calmer, relaxed, and sometimes even better able to cope with everyday problems.

 

What does CBD Oil do to you?

CBD directly affects the endocannabinoid system. First, a short explanation of the endocannabinoid system. Every human being and most animals have a body's own endocannabinoid system, abbreviated the ECS. Like your immune system, the ECS is a complex system. It is a network of special receptors (receivers) throughout your body that interacts with cannabis-like chemicals. We call these cannabinoids. Together they ensure that our body and mind are brought into balance. 


The Endocannabinoidsystem and bodysystems 


CBD oil consists of phytocannabinoids. Especially CBD, but also from other cannabinoids such as CBDa, CBG, CBN, CBC, etc. These are all substances that occur naturally in the hemp plant. CBD is thought to replenish your endocannabinoid system when it is depleted, restoring an out-of-balance body. For best results, a “full-spectrum” CBD oil is recommended. This CBD oil contains all the cannabinoids (substances) that are needed. Together they create the “Entourage effect”.

 

Is CBD oil safe?

The American institute NCBI has conducted extensive research into the safety and side effects of cannabidiol (CBD). The researchers concluded that CBD is safe for both humans and animals at a normal dose. CBD oil is non-toxic and has minimal side effects. CBD does not affect your heart rate or body temperature. These are called physiological parameters. The WHO (World Health Organization) also approved CBD oil as safe, non-toxic (toxic), and with little to no side effects.

 

So you can safely use a "good quality" CBD oil daily without any risk. It does not give you an unpleasant psychoactive feeling like THC does. You cannot get “high” from CBD.

In addition to the usual dribbling under the tongue, CBD can also be added to any dish or your favorite drinks. Combine your CBD oil with other foods and flavors. CBD has many uses, and it's fun to experiment with a product that also promotes health and well-being.

How long does CBD stay in your system?

CBD remains in the system for two to five days in most people. However, depending on the amount of CBD you ingest, your body may break down substances faster, but it takes a little slower for some. But after five days, there will be no more CBD molecules in your system.

 

CBD is legal in most European countries and US states. Should you need to take a Cannabis drug test, you don't have to worry about passing the test, as most urine tests do not detect CBD.

Does CBD have side effects?

Before you start using CBD oil, you would like to know whether CBD also has side effects. We can reassure you that in most cases, there are no side effects, and if this does happen, the symptoms are extremely mild. You need to know that CBD oil is not psychoactive, you cannot get "high" from CBD like you can from THC. Every human body reacts differently to CBD. It is important not to panic when using CBD oil for the first time. This causes all kinds of suggestive (imaginary) complaints, and you will feel very unpleasant and unwell. This would be a great shame because CBD is a beneficial product from nature. Our advice is to always start with a low dose, for example, one drop at a time, and slow build-up to the desired amount. If you notice any side effects, simply reduce the dose and let your body get used to the dose that feels comfortable at the time.
These are the most commonly reported side effects from research. Dry mouth, a slight drop in blood pressure (this can be very positive), light-headedness, drowsiness, and risk of increased tremors in Parkinson's patients. Below we will explain all the side effects.

Dry mouth

A possible mild side effect of CBD oil is a dry mouth. You may get a little more thirsty when using CBD.
The cause of dry mouth — as a 2006 study suggests — comes from the salivary glands in the mouth (the submandibular glands). The interaction of CBD with the cannabinoid receptors of your endocannabinoid system is responsible for less saliva production in your mouth.

A slight drop in blood pressure

When using CBD oil in higher doses, a possible side effect is a slight drop in blood pressure can take place. This usually happens within a few minutes of ingesting CBD. You need to know that this is a slight decrease, you cannot become unwell or even faint because your blood pressure drops very quickly or too much.
However, we recommend you consult your doctor before using CBD oil if you are taking blood pressure medications.
 

Lightheadedness (dizzy)

You may experience lightheadedness or dizziness when taking high doses in rare cases. This side effect is only temporary and short-lived. Lightheadedness is caused by a drop in blood pressure and can be resolved by sitting quietly for a few minutes.
 

Increase in Parkinson's disease tremors (high-dose CBD only)

Early research on the effect of CBD in patients with Parkinson's disease suggested that they may experience exacerbated tremors and muscle movements with very high doses of CBD.
However, recent studies claim that people can safely take CBD with Parkinson's disease. In any case, we recommend that you always consult a doctor before using CBD. It is also advised to start with very low doses to reduce the possibility of side effects.
 

drowsiness

Because CBD has a different effect on each body, it is possible that CBD in higher doses can cause drowsiness. If you experience this side effect, we recommend that you do not drive or operate heavy machinery. You can simply lower the doses to function with a clear mind.
 
Through ongoing scientific studies and clinical trials, we are learning more and more about CBD and the human body. It has been suggested that CBD may have positive health benefits for our bodies, including:

  • The ability of pain relief
  • The ability to reduce inflammation
  • The ability to reduce anxiety
  • The ability to fight cancer
  • The ability to treat some neurological disorders and seizures
  • The ability to relieve nausea
  • The ability to promote a good night's sleep / help with insomnia
  • The ability to promote cardiovascular health
