Cannabidiol (CBD): What You Need to Know

These days, Cannabidiol (CBD) is talked about for its supposed benefits for everything from chronic pain relief to serving as a sleep aid. However, if you’re curious about how it can help you, you likely want to learn some more about it before trying it yourself. That’s why the team of CBD-infused edibles experts from What’s Your Treat have collected some important facts here.

How Does CBD Differ from Marijuana, Cannabis, & Hemp?

 

As the second most active ingredient in cannabis (marijuana), CBD is an essential component of medical cannabis. However, unlike other compounds like Delta-8 or 9 that contain psychoactive components, CBD is derived directly from the hemp plant, a cousin of marijuana. Reports have shown that unlike other compounds derived from cannabis, CBD has reportedly shown no effects indicative of chemical dependence or addiction.

 

Is CBD Legal?

 

In all states throughout the U.S., there are laws that have legalized CBD, although they do vary from state to state. The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp legal in the United States, removing all hemp-derived products, including CBD, from the Controlled Substances Act. This means that CBD is legal if it comes from hemp, but not if it comes from marijuana.

 

What Are the Reported Benefits of CBD

 

• Chronic Pain Assistance: Scientific studies have shown promising results when it comes to CBD and infused edibles, demonstrating effects to soothe chronic aches and pains like arthritis. Additionally, other research and users point to how CBD inhibits neuropathic pain and inflammation.

 

• Anxiety Reduction: Studies and clinical trials suggest that CBD can reduce anxiety and many users have reported that they take infused-CBD edibles to help them relax and feel more comfortable in social situations, stressful work scenarios, and more.

 

• Sleep Aid: Users have stated that CBD helps with falling asleep, as well as getting a better night’s rest by addressing chronic pains and anxiety that can disrupt sleep.

 

What Forms of CBD are there on the Market?

 

• Topicals: These include creams, lotions, and balms applied directly to the skin. They are ideal for targeting specific areas of pain or inflammation.

 

• Tinctures & Oils: These are typically taken under the tongue using a dropper. This method allows CBD to be absorbed directly into the bloodstream for fast effects.

 

• Edibles: These provide a more controlled dose of CBD. Edible CBD, such as gummies and chocolates, can be a tasty and convenient way to consume CBD.

 

• Patches: These deliver a steady dose of CBD through the skin over a longer period.

 

• Vapes: Inhaling vaporized CBD oil is the quickest way to feel its effects, though it may not be suitable for everyone, particularly those with respiratory issues.
