CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound that is found in hemp. The "high" that’s usually associated with cannabis is not produced by this cannabinoid. Instead, it works with the body's endocannabinoid system, which helps support things like sleep, mood, and recovery.
CBD and THC are both cannabinoids, but THC is the main part of hemp or cannabis that makes people feel high, while CBD does not. A lot of people use CBD to help them relax, heal, and sleep without getting high, which can happen with products containing more THC.
Broad-spectrum CBD is made to contain only trace amounts of THC, with levels usually being too low for third-party lab tests to measure. It contains many different types of cannabinoids and plant terpenes. This form is meant to give you an "entourage" effect from several plant compounds without measurable amounts of THC.
All the naturally occurring cannabinoids in hemp extract are in full-spectrum CBD. This includes up to 0.3% THC, which is legal on a federal level. Some people like full spectrum because it gives them the most complete benefits from the plant's natural profile.
CBD products made from hemp that use broad-spectrum formulas are made so they only contain trace amounts of THC and do not give you a high. Full-spectrum CBD may have small amounts of THC that are less than the 0.3% legal limit. This is still a long way below the levels that most people use for recreational purposes.
CBD is delivered in different ways by tinctures, gummies, softgels, and topicals. The type of product you should choose depends on whether you want to support your whole body or just help a specific area. A lot of people use oils, gummies, and softgels to help their whole bodies and topicals to target specific areas like their muscles and joints.
CBD intake amounts are different for everyone because it depends on your weight, metabolism, and goals. A popular method is to start with a small amount, stick to it for a few days, and then slowly increase it while keeping an eye on how you feel.
Because they go to work before they are digested, CBD oils that are put under the tongue usually work faster than gummies or softgels. It might take longer for edibles to work, but for many people, they can have a more gradual, long-lasting effect.
A lot of people take CBD every day as a supplement to help them stay balanced, deal with stress, and heal. Everyday use may help keep the body's amounts of cannabinoids more stable over time.
CBD is often taken with other health products, like herbal blends, vitamins, or minerals. But people who are already on prescription medications should talk to a doctor before adding CBD to their routine.
CBD products that don't get you high shouldn't get in the way of your daily routine, but everyone reacts differently. Before using CBD in situations that need your full attention, especially when it comes to products that contain THC, you should see how it affects you at home.
Broad-spectrum products are made to only contain trace amounts ofTHC, but no CBD product can promise that a drug test will never show a positive result. Full-spectrum CBD does have small amounts of THC, which can make that more likely.
Talking to a doctor about CBD is always a good idea, but it's especially important if you have a medical condition, take prescription medications, or are thinking about taking bigger doses. A doctor can help you figure out how to use CBD in a way that is best for your health.
