What are the Effects and Benefits of CBD Oil?

The first question on your mind right now might be, will CBD oil get me high?  The short answer is no, most will not. But that can depend on where you’re buying your CBD oil in Canada.

On its own, CBD is a non-impairing compound.  Any CBD products you purchase online or at retailers like grocery and drug stores are required to contain less than 0.3% THC; that trace amount of THC will not result in detectable euphoric effects.

However, when shopping at your local cannabis shop, it’s important to note how much CBD and THC are in a product.  Products that contain both CBD and THC are increasingly common at cannabis retailers and suit the needs of many consumers.  But it you’re looking to avoid any noticeable high, consult your budtender and read the label of the product you’ve selected: Generally speaking, products with less that 1% of THC (or less than 2mg of THC) will not get you stoned, but it really varies from person to person.

CBD oil may not get you high, but that doesn’t mean it’s completely undetectable in your body.  Depending on your dose, your unique biology, and how you consume it (e.g., tincture, lotion, vaporized oil, etc.), CBD oil can have a range of subtle effects including physical relaxation, stress relief, or a slightly alerting or sedating effect.

The most obvious effects of CBD oil should come in the form of symptom relief.  Although research has yet to explore the full range of CBD’s utility, most people use CBD oil in Canada to manage symptoms related to:

• Epilepsy and seizures
• Pain and inflammation
• Anxiety
• Insomnia

But how effective is CBD oil at treating these conditions?  Early studies and anecdotal reports are promising, but due to strict federal laws around cannabis, controlled clinical trials are lacking.  So far, the safety profile of CBD appears to be very high, but it’s also important for consumers to take caution with potential drug interactions or products with questionable ingredients.

Finding the Best CBD Oil for You:

Because CBD oil is not yet regulated, it’s up to the consumer to discern between high-quality concentrates and snake oil.  As a general rule, we recommend purchasing organic, third-party tested oils sourced from domestically grown cannabis.

First, there are three distinct types of CBD oil you should know:

• Full-spectrum CBD oil contains the full array of compounds produced by its source plant (CBD, THC, and any other cannabinoids and terpenes)
• Broad-spectrum CBD oil contains a wide array of the compounds produced by its source plant, but THC is removed.
• CBD isolate contains only CBD-all other compounds have been removed.

The wide variety of therapeutic compounds found in full-spectrum CBD oils make them popular among consumers wanting all the helpful ingredients they can get.  Broad-spectrum CBD oil or CBD isolate, however, would be a good choice for those wanting to avoid even trace amounts of THC due, to let’s say, an upcoming drug test.
