Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a non-intoxicating natural medicine that is derived from the hemp plant. CBD is just one of numerous active compounds called cannabinoids that can be extracted from hemp and used for therapeutic value.
Cannabinoids like CBD bind to special receptors in the body that form part of our endocannabinoid system. This biological network of receptors regulate mood, memory, emotional outlook, sleep/wake cycles, pain sensation, motor control, immune system function, and body temperature.
It’s scientifically proven that this endocannabinoid system is part of our natural immune system. Nature doesn’t do this for fun, your system needs to be ‘fed’.
How does CBD work?
Granjacia’s CBD is pharmacologically active. In other words, it can bind to various receptors within the endocannabinoid system and interact with them in a way that causes physical changes as a result.
CBD has a highly diverse receptor profile. Therefore, it exhibits a broad range of actions as it affects neural pathways in the spinal cord, the brain, the hippocampus, and the amygdala. Many of the benefits from CBD are not yet fully understood but are likely due to complex pharmacological interactions that point to CB receptors 1 and 2.
Both CB1 and CB2 receptors are directly affected by CBD. The majority of CB1 receptors are found in the hippocampus and amygdala, but they also span across pain pathways of the spinal cord and the brain. These areas are part of a system that controls memory, pain sensation, and emotion. CB2 receptors are found in immune cells, lymph tissue, and peripheral nerve terminals, where anti-inflammatory responses are activated..
What does “full-spectrum” CBD mean?
When a CBD formula is “full-spectrum,” it means that it contains the entire range of phytocannabinoids derived from hemp. This includes an insignificant amount of THC that is less than 0.2%
Will I get high if I take CBD?
No, CBD is non-intoxicating and cannot cause psychoactive effects.
How much CBD should I take?
Gradually increasing and moderating your CBD intake to find the most effective daily dose is called titration. This process ensures that you are taking the right amount of CBD, based on your individual response to the formula.
Begin by taking 5-10mg CBD oil. Wait between doses. Increase the number of drops per dose as needed until effects are apparent.
CBD maintains an excellent safety profile, That means it’s safe to vary your daily CBD intake to find what feels right for you over time.
How much CBD you take may differ from that of others. Some users, for example, only need to take CBD as needed while others take CBD two or more times daily for best results.
When will I see benefits from CBD?
Most people taking CBD for the very first time report noticeable benefits within just one or two days. The time it takes for you to see benefits will vary from that of other CBD users, because everybody is unique.
CBD benefits should not take longer than two weeks to become apparent. Only you know how much CBD is helping you to feel better.
CBD may not be right for everyone. Stop use and talk to your doctor if you experience no benefit whatsoever, or, if you experience an adverse reaction after taking CBD.
Will CBD cause side effects?
Clinical studies show that CBD is remarkably safe to take — even in very high doses — and side effects are extremely rare.
Reported CBD side effects include appetite changes (decrease/increase) or somnolence. Side effects are typically mild and transient, lasting no more than four to six hours.
Is CBD legal?
