To better understand CBD, it's best to put in it in contrast with THC which is the most popular amongst the different types of cannabinoids derived from the marijuana plant, that alters the mind and used specifically for the “high”. CBD on the other hand, derives from the hemp plant and its main property is healing. 

 

"Is CBD Legal?"

CBD is legal in every state in the USA and every European country. As long as the product follows FDA regulatory requirements, it’s free to be sold anywhere and everywhere! Due to the Farm Bill making it virtually impossible to illegalize CBD, and legalizing research studies backing up the beneficial properties of CBD! 

​

"Does CBD Heal You?"

CBD is a herbal remedy and it has various healing properties. For example, it has been proven to lessen inflammation, relieve pain, reduce anxiety or depression, alleviate cancer related symptoms, may reduce acne, neuroprotective properties, benefits heart health, and many more!

​

"Is CBD Safe?"

CBD is completely safe, and as long as normal over the counter ibuprofen does not affect you, neither should CBD. It may increase blood thinning and other medicines in your system by competing with other liver enzymes that break it down. Grapefruit has a similar effect with certain medicines. So you should let your doctor know if you are taking CBD regularly. 

 

"How Can You Take CBD?"

There are many different ways CBD can be taken, and because the market is growing everyday, many brands have gotten really creative with the different variations. The different forms include oils, extracts, capsules, patches, vapes, topical preparations, skincare, hygiene products, and many more! 

 

Conclusion

Some CBD manufacturers come up with a lot of outlandish claims such as “CBD cures cancer and COVID-19” to manipulate people and increase sales. There is still a lot of research that is still needed for CBD, but it definitely can be a wonderful alternative option for helping anxiety, sleeplessness, or chronic pain. We can’t estimate beneficial amounts without enough high-quality information from human research, and because CBD is available as an unregulated supplement, it's hard to know what you’re getting. 

 

If you decide to try CBD, it’s important that you are getting it from a reputable source. And talk to your doctor to make sure it won’t interfere with any other medications you take!
