What is CBD and is it safe?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis. This is an active compound in both plants. However, when CBD is taken by itself it does not produce a ‘high’. The World Health Organisation reported that “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

CBD is 100% safe. This is a naturally occurring, non-toxic and non-psychoactive compound is safe for use in both humans and animals. In the UK cannabis is illegal; however, CBD is a fully legal supplement as long as it contains no more than 0.2% THC (the compound that is associated to the psycho-active nature of cannabis).

When I take CBD what will it do to me?

The human body contains a system called the endocannabinoid system. This controls a variety of things including; sleep, appetite, pain and immune system response. The CBD can reduce the endocannabinoid receptors interactions with the neurotransmitters leading to a reduction in pain and inflammation.
