Cannabidiol 101: CBD Canada

 

What is CBD (Cannabidiol)?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound called a cannabinoid that is naturally produced by cannabis plants. It is the second most active cannabinoid found in marijuana, second to only tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). 

However unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and does not cause intoxication. This makes CBD a popular product for many cannabis users in Canada. 

What CBD does is it interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and modulates how other cannabinoids interact with receptors in the body. This in turn, helps regulate and enhance the therapeutic benefits that cannabinoids provide. 

 

Is CBD Safe?

Since CBD doesn’t get people high like THC does, it is unlikely it will cause any accidents or bring any physical harm to the user. 

Also, CBD oil is said to rarely have any side effects and has been deemed relatively safe by the World Health Organization.

However, CBD oil can potentially react unexpectedly with certain medications. It is therefore suggested to consult a physician before taking CBD if on any other medication. 

 

Is CBD Legal in Canada?

CBD is considered a controlled substance in Canada and fall under the same rules and regulations that apply to Cannabis. As of October 19, 2018, CBD products are legal in Canada for recreational use for those above the age limits. 

 

How to take CBD in Canada?

There are many different CBD products in Canada, and there are many different ways to take them. CBD oils and tinctures are normally taken sublingually by placing drops of oil under the tongue.

There are also CBD products that can be applied externally to the skin. Some of the most popular CBD topicals include: CBD creams, CBD lotions, CBD balms, CBD rollers and CBD sprays. 

 

What does it Feel Like When Taking CBD?

Since cannabidiol doesn’t get users high, there will not be any of the traditional intoxicating effects normally associated with cannabis products. For example, euphoria, sedation and effects to sensory perception are not commonly linked to CBD oil use. 

What CBD does is it modulates and regulates the endocannabinoid system, resulting in a balanced and enhanced experience.
