Frequently Asked
Everything you need to know about CBD.
CBD – THE BASICS
CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol… unlike THC, CBD is not psychoactive (won’t make you feel “high”) and is appealing for self-care.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of 60+ naturally occurring cannabinoids in the hemp plant… second most abundant compound in cannabis… non-intoxicating and not psychoactive like marijuana.
CBD oil is derived from hemp sativa… naturally low THC so legal in the UK… contains high CBD and many cannabinoids… not psychoactive or physically addictive.
THC and CBD interact with cannabinoid receptors but have very different effects… THC is psychoactive (“high”), CBD is non-psychoactive and more common in supplements.
CBD works via the endocannabinoid system (CB1/CB2 receptors)… supporting balance by binding with this system and helping the body respond to cannabinoids.
No — CBD isn’t psychoactive and won’t impair you or make you high; hemp with very low THC can yield high-purity CBD.
Yes in the UK; products may contain very small THC as long as below the UK legal limit (0.2% or less).
Tests look for THC; high-quality CBD with minimal THC is unlikely to trigger a positive, but low-quality products may contain more THC than claimed.
CBD is generally considered safe; people react differently, and it’s recommended to consult a doctor before adding supplements.
Under tongue, capsules/edibles, topical creams, or inhaled via vaporizer; method affects onset speed (vaping fastest).
