You have likely already heard at least some of the fantastical claims surrounding CBD products and their many benefits, but how many of those claims have any validity? Though CBD oil has been used for many years as a treatment for a variety of symptoms, there isn’t much available to the general public for real guidelines on what to expect from using it. Even after the last decade of much more vigorous cannabis research, we have barely begun to scratch the surface of proving what this powerful element is capable of.

Since taking any new medicine or supplement can be an anxiety-inducing adventure, it is always best to arm yourself with the most knowledge possible before considering whether it might be worthwhile to take regularly. To help you decide, here you will learn all about what CBD is and what effects can be expected after using CBD products.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) was first discovered in 1940 and is one of many different phytocannabinoids that are found in both cannabis and hemp plants. It is a legal, non-toxic, non-psychoactive element that can be taken many ways, including orally, inhaled, spray, topically, vaped, eaten, and smoked.

What is CBD oil?

CBD oils are the purest form of CBD products and are made using one of several different extraction methods. All of which will require hemp seeds, or in the case of THC infused combinations, cannabis flowers. CBD oils are generally around 99% CBD, and the second most highly concentrated CBD products available on the market today.

The effects of CBD

A lot of people ask what the effects of CBD are, and expect a list of instantaneous sensations that can be easily described. Cannabidiol is not psychoactive like THC, so when it is ingested, it can take anywhere from minutes to days to feel much difference from any CBD products. The phytocannabinoid CBD works as a regulator of many things, including painful sensations, mood, blood sugars, metabolism, inflammation, and so much more. So, it’s essential to realize that if you do try CBD oil in any form, it might take some patience as you await the results. The most common adverse side effects from taking CBD products are sleepiness, diarrhea, and upset stomach, but these cases are incredibly rare, and generally caused by another ingredient in the CBD product, rather than the cannabinoid itself.

CBD products

Have you ever found yourself wondering what different ways that CBD can be used? Well, the truth is that there are so many CBD products on the market today, that it would be nearly impossible to list them all. However, some primary categories can help to give you an idea of what’s out there.

  • CBD oil
  • CBD tincture
  • CBD wax
  • CBD crystalline
  • CBD edibles
  • CBD drinks
  • CBD lotions
  • CBD beauty products
  • CBD vape oil
  • All the listed options above in THC included versions.

Should you try CBD oil?

The truth is that there is no right or wrong answer here. Though there is no denying that pretty much anyone could benefit more from adding CBD to their diet, then they would by using other popular manufactured supplements, it’s impossible for anyone but you to make such a personal decision. CBD products for many are an unaffordable expense, and for others, a risky endeavor due to CBD’s ability to interfere with the efficacy of many different pharmaceutical medications. If you do want to try cannabidiol, it’s a good idea to speak with your healthcare provider first to be sure that none of these complications may apply to you.
