So, let’s make this very, very clear: CBD does NOT make you high. CBD or cannabidiol, does not have psychoactive effects, unlike the other popular cannabinoid THC.
Many people are under the impression that anything and everything related to cannabis or hemp MUST get you high. Well, this is simply not the case and is very far from the truth. The psychoactive chemical named THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the only known molecule found within the cannabis plant that causes a psychoactive effect, known as a high, to consumers. It’s also worth mentioning that ICARIA’s CBD oils are made from hemp and not marijuana. In addition to that, ICARIA’s products are made with CBD crystalline isolate to make sure that there is 0.00% THC in them.
Several consumers are consistently being deterred from CBD oil with the innocent assumption that it will make them feel high. They think it could make them unable to properly function and do their daily tasks in life. Well, this not the case by any means. CBD works fluently with your endocannabinoid system and has been known to have profound benefits on the body. CBD has a tremendous amount of potential to provide your system with the potent, effective, and essential properties needed for promoting health. This means not having to endure the psychoactive high feeling one would experience while consuming THC. Recent studies indicate that CBD may counteract the psychoactive effects of THC and, there are still a variety of studies underway to solidify and prove the extent of this theory.
If I won’t feel high, then how will I know if it works?
Rather than feeling high when consuming CBD, you may feel some of the following:
-
A sense of calm
-
Improved energy levels
-
And much more…
We still have so much to learn about these wonderful and seemingly miraculous plants! However, one thing has become undeniably clear, CBD does NOT get you high.
“CBD a pretty incredible and natural way to take care of yourself without the side effects of prescription drugs. ”
How do CBD and other cannabinoids work with my body?
There are two types of receptors: CB1 and CB2 receptors. CB1 receptors are the leaders of the endocannabinoid system and are responsible for maintaining the balance of the central nervous system which manages stress, anxiety, the immune system, and much more. CB2 receptors are believed to work hand-in-hand with CB1 by reducing inflammation, triggering healing, maintaining internal balance, and other types of behind-the-scenes functions within the body that are not directly related to emotional functions. When CBD binds itself to these receptors upon intake, it adds organic fuel to the fire of your endocannabinoid system allowing it to thrive and resulting in a chain reaction of positive effects throughout the entire body.
