CBD is a chemical compound produced by plants from the cannabis genus. It’s usually extracted from the species cannabis sativa. There are two major strains of cannabis sativa which are hemp and marijuana. Many people think that CBD products you find in store or online come from marijuana, but that is not the case as marijuana is still illegal under U.S. federal law. The CBD products that are for sale usually contain extracts from hemp, which is a strain that contains negligible amounts of THC.

There are different ways to take CBD, but the best way is up to the preference of the user. The main ways to take CBD is by ingesting, inhaling, sublingual use, or topical application. Eating or swallowing CBD can take the form of gummies, capsules, drinks, and foods. When ingesting CBD, it may take longer to take effect since CBD has to be absorbed through the digestive tract. Inhaling CBD smoke or vapor is one of the fastest ways for CBD to enter the system, but the effect may wear off faster and may not be ideal for some people. Sublingual is when CBD oil tinctures, or lozenges are placed under the tongue for 30-60 seconds for CBD to absorb through the sublingual gland. Topical CBD is applied directly to the skin to help target a specific area. The best way to use CBD is up to the user and which benefits the user would like to experience.

Even though CBD may offer many health benefits, some people may experience adverse side effects. These side effects include a change in appetites, drowsiness, dry mouth, and diarrhea. If you experience any undesirable side effects, cut back on the amount you take or stop taking CBD altogether.

Yes, although allergies to CBD are rare, it is possible for someone to have an allergy to CBD. An allergic reaction to CBD can range from mild to severe.

CBD is gluten-free, but the other ingredients added to CBD products may not be. It’s possible that ingredients in a CBD capsule, pills, and gummies aren’t gluten-free. Read the labels before purchasing a product to make sure.

CBD may interfere with a few medications, either by amplifying their effects or diminishing them. Since this is the case, we recommend those who are taking medications to consult with their doctor or healthcare professional before adding CBD to their daily routine.
