    What Is CBD?

    CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD does not produce a "high" or intoxication. CBD has been found to have potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-anxiety effects. It is used in a variety of products, such as oils, capsules, and edibles. CBD is also used in medicine to treat a variety of symptoms and conditions.

    Where Does CBD Come From? 

    CBD is a compound found in the cannabis plant, specifically in the flowers, leaves, and stalks. It can be extracted from both the marijuana and hemp varieties of cannabis. CBD is a phytocannabinoid, which means it is a naturally occurring compound found in plants. Hemp, a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species, is known for its low THC content and high CBD content. It is used to produce a variety of products, including textiles, food, and supplements. While marijuana also contains CBD, it is also high in THC and is primarily used for recreational and medicinal purposes. CBD can be extracted from the plant using various methods, such as CO2 extraction, ethanol extraction, and oil extraction. The method of extraction can affect the purity and quality of the final product.

    What's The Difference Between CBD and THC? 

    CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are both compounds found in the cannabis plant, but they have different effects on the body.

    THC is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis and is responsible for the "high" or intoxication that users experience. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system to produce a variety of effects, including increased appetite, reduced pain, and altered mood.

    CBD, on the other hand, does not produce a high or intoxication. It is non-psychoactive and has been found to have potential therapeutic properties, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anti-anxiety effects. It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system in a different way than THC, and does not bind directly to the body's CB1 receptors like THC does.

    While both compounds are found in the cannabis plant, marijuana typically has higher levels of THC and lower levels of CBD, while hemp typically has higher levels of CBD and lower levels of THC. This is why hemp-derived CBD products are legal in most countries, while marijuana-derived products are not.

    What Type Of CBD Products Are Available?

    There are a variety of CBD products available, including:

    Oils: CBD oil is one of the most popular forms of CBD. It can be taken orally, added to food or drink, or applied topically. CBD oil is typically made by extracting CBD from the hemp plant and then diluting it with a carrier oil, such as coconut or hemp seed oil.

    Capsules: CBD capsules are another popular form of oral CBD. They are convenient and easy to take, and are a good option for people who don't like the taste of CBD oil.

    Edibles: CBD can also be added to a variety of food and drink products, such as gummies, chocolate, and tea.

    Topicals: CBD topicals are products that are applied directly to the skin, such as lotions, balms, and creams. They are often used to treat localized pain or inflammation.

    Vape: CBD e-liquid can be vaporized and inhaled as vapor, it's a popular way of consuming CBD among people who want to avoid the taste of CBD oil.

    Tinctures: CBD tinctures are similar to oils, but they are typically made by steeping CBD-rich hemp flowers in high-proof alcohol, and then evaporating the alcohol to leave behind a concentrated liquid.

    Transdermal Patches: CBD patches are placed on the skin, which slowly release CBD throughout the day.

    These are just a few examples of the many types of CBD products available. It's always important to read the label and check the ingredients and dosage before using any CBD product.

    What Is The Entourage Effect?

    The entourage effect is a term used to describe the synergistic relationship between the various compounds found in the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids (such as CBD and THC), terpenes, and flavonoids. These compounds work together to enhance the therapeutic effects of each individual compound.

    The idea behind the entourage effect is that these compounds interact with each other and with the body's endocannabinoid system in different ways, and that the combination of these interactions leads to a more pronounced therapeutic effect than any individual compound could provide on its own.

    For example, certain terpenes found in cannabis have been found to have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. When these terpenes are combined with CBD, they may enhance CBD's ability to reduce pain and inflammation. Additionally, THC and CBD interact with each other in a way that modifies the effects of each compound, modulating the psychoactivity and the therapeutic effects.

    The entourage effect is one of the reasons why many people believe that whole-plant cannabis extracts, which contain a full spectrum of compounds, are more effective than isolated CBD or THC.

    Is CBD Psychoactive?

    CBD is not psychoactive, which means it does not produce a "high" or any changes in perception, mood or consciousness. The psychoactive compound in cannabis is THC. While CBD is a non-psychoactive compound, it does interact with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes such as pain, appetite, sleep, and the immune system.

    How Does CBD Work?

    CBD works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex system of receptors and neurotransmitters that plays a role in regulating various physiological processes such as pain, appetite, sleep, and the immune system.

    CBD works by interacting with the receptors of the ECS, specifically the CB1 and CB2 receptors. While THC directly binds to CB1 receptors, CBD does not bind directly to either CB1 or CB2 receptors. Instead, it works by indirectly influencing the activity of these receptors and by increasing the levels of naturally-occurring endocannabinoids in the body.

    CBD has been found to have a number of potential therapeutic effects, including:

    Pain relief: CBD may help alleviate chronic pain by impacting the endocannabinoid receptor activity and reducing inflammation.

    Anti-inflammatory: CBD has shown potential in reducing inflammation, which could benefit conditions such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and multiple sclerosis.

    Anxiety & Depression management: CBD may have anxiolytic and antidepressant properties, offering a potential alternative to pharmaceutical treatments for anxiety and depression.

    Sleep improvement: CBD may help with insomnia and improve sleep quality by addressing the underlying causes, such as anxiety or pain.

    When Was CBD Oil Made Legal In The UK?

    CBD Oil was essentially legalised in the UK in 2016. In October 2016, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) acknowledged CBD as a medicine. However, for a CBD product to be legal in the UK, it must meet specific criteria:

    1. It must be derived from an industrial hemp strain that is EU-approved.
    2. It must contain no more than 0.2% THC (the psychoactive compound in cannabis).

    By adhering to these guidelines, CBD products such as oils, tinctures, and capsules became legally available for purchase and consumption in the UK, provided they are sourced from approved hemp strains and contain minimal THC.
