CBD Oil: Natural Relief with OTC Medical Cannabis

People get very excited about CBD oil owing to it being sourced from the hallowed cannabis (weed, ganja, marijuana, etc.) plant. Unfortunately, CBD does not get you high though- because it does not have psychoactive properties. 

However logic and reason are not strong points of stoners. I have, on multiple occasions, had them reach for my bottle of CBD oil- already high as a kite on their joint, their bloodshot eyes lighting up momentarily with awe and excitement to see what kind of novel effect this new entity could bring to their mundane lives. 

They’re always disappointed of course. CBD at its typical dosages has a very mild effect- especially compared to the usual black market weed. 

So What Is CBD?

The cannabis plant is a very complex biological system. It has a vast variety of chemical compounds with varying physiological effects- cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, etc. Among them, the cannabinoids are the most well-known. And among the cannabinoids, two in particular are the most abundant, the most well-studied, and known to be responsible for most of the primary effects of cannabis consumption- THC and CBD.

THC- Tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC, is the principal psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. It has a range of effects on the body, but iIts most prominent impact is the sense of euphoria or "high" that users experience, often accompanied by alterations in perception, mood, and sensory perception.

CBD-Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is the prominent non-psychoactive compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not induce euphoria or alter one's state of consciousness. It doesn’t get you “high”. It interacts with the body in a more subtle manner. CBD is primarily associated with potential therapeutic benefits, including its use for pain management, anxiety reduction, and anti-inflammatory properties.

So what does it feel like? The most prominent effects experienced upon CBD consumption are relaxation, feelings of calmness, reduced anxiety, and help with sleep and pain relief.

CBD oil and other CBD-containing extracts are a massive industry today. Cannabis extracts containing equal to or less than 0.03% THC enjoy a fairly good level of legal acceptance in most parts of the developed world.

Annual sales of CBD products in the USA have been over 4 billion USD for the last 5 years [1]. You get CBD-infused products of all kinds ranging from soft drinks and candy to CBD-infused nut butters!

Topical usage of CBD is very popular too. CBD-containing pain relief balms and roll-ons are common. You can also just add a few drops of CBD oil into your massage oil for an extra dose of relaxation!
