What is CBD Oil Canada? 

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound found in hemp and cannabis plants. More specifically, CBD is a cannabinoid that acts as a moderator to the body’s endocannabinoid system.  Unlike the cannabis compound most frequently associated with Get Kush edibles, concentrates such as online hash in Canada, and flowers (aka THC), CBD does not lead to intoxication, making it an ideal medication for times when getting high is not an option.  

Is CBD Safe?

According to the World Health Organization, CBD is deemed relatively safe and possesses minimal to no risk of abuse or serious harm.  Also, CBD does not get users high and is known to have minimal to no side effects. It is important to note that CBD can interact with certain medications and it is recommended to check with a physician if other medications are being used.  

How Does CBD Work?

Basically, CBD works as a regulator to the endocannabinoid system by moderating how other cannabinoids interact with the body’s receptors. Since CBD does not attach to the brain’s receptors, CBD does not get the user high in the traditional sense. What CBD does do is ensures a perfect balance of effects from other cannabinoids that are naturally produced by the body.

Effects of CBD

The main benefit of CBD is that it is non-psychoactive so it doesn’t get the user intoxicated because CBD doesn’t bind to cannabinoid receptors in the brain.  Acting as a regulator, it does interact with the body’s cannabinoid receptors spread throughout the body, allowing the receptors to hold higher concentrations of endocannabinoids. 

Increasing numbers of medical marijuana patients and recreational cannabis users are delving deep into the world of CBD and adding it to their daily lives. Some of the more common medical uses of CBD in Canada are to treat conditions related to pain relief, anxiety, depression, focus, sleep, inflammation, epilepsy, mood disorders, skin conditions, and eating and cognitive and immune functioning.
