Before taking any form of CBD you should do your research and see what is the best fit for you. So, here are some facts to help get you started.
- Although cannabis consumption dates back thousands of years, CBD was first discovered in 1940 and was isolated that same year by chemist Roger Adams
- CBD is one of over 60 cannabinoids found in cannabis- many of them are present in low amounts that they’re difficult to detect at all
- CBD doesn’t get you high
- Hemp- derived CBD is the exact same compound as marijuana-derived CBD
- CBD oil and hemp oil are not the same- they both come from hemp but CBD is derived from mostly the flowers or buds, while hemp seed oil is derived solely from the seeds of the plant and contains no cannabinoids
- CBD’s effects are enhanced by other cannabinoids
- CBD is increasingly being administered to pets
- Though now federally legal, CBD products are not regulated by the FDA
