ALL ABOUT CBD

What is CBD?

CBD, short for Cannabidiol, is one of over a hundred naturally occurring compounds known as cannabinoids, which are found in the Cannabis sativa plant. This plant species is commonly referred to as cannabis or hemp, depending on its specific strain and THC content.

Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis that causes the sensation of feeling "high", CBD is non-psychoactive. This means that it does not alter a person's state of mind or produce any intoxicating effects, making it a more accessible and legally accepted option for those seeking potential therapeutic benefits without the mind-altering consequences associated with recreational cannabis use.

The Legal stuff

Is CBD legal?

In the UK, CBD is legal, provided it meets strict guidelines – including containing less than 0.2% THC and being derived from approved industrial hemp strains. As a result, CBD has gained significant popularity and is widely available in various forms such as oils, capsules, gummies, creams, and even beverages.

Recent estimates suggest that approximately 1.3 million people in the UK regularly use CBD products. Many turn to CBD in the hope of managing symptoms related to chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders like insomnia.

Health & Safety

Is it safe?

While scientific research into CBD’s full range of effects is still ongoing, early studies and anecdotal evidence have prompted a growing interest in its potential health benefits.

As awareness and accessibility continue to grow, CBD is becoming an increasingly mainstream option in the realm of wellness and alternative health.
