Frequently Asked Questions about CBD
Here are some of the most common FAQs about CBD:
CBD (cannabidiol) is a chemical compound in cannabis that interacts with the endocannabinoid system in your body. Researchers believe cannabinoids have a range of potential therapeutic benefits, and many people use it as a supplement or natural remedy.
The endocannabinoid system, or ECS, is a biological system of receptors, enzymes, and endocannabinoids found throughout the body. These receptors interact with cannabinoids like CBD and THC, triggering specific physiological processes.
When we consume CBD and other cannabinoids, they interact with these receptors, aiding various functions in the body. This is because the ECS is responsible for many vital functions, including our immune system, digestion, sleep, mood, and more.

Although CBD may positively affect your mood and well-being, it will not make you feel “high.” CBD is non-intoxicating and will not alter your mental state in the same way that THC can.

How long it takes for CBD to have an effect will depend on several factors, including why you’re taking it. For example, if you’re using CBD oil for anxiety, it may take longer to have an effect than if you’re using it topically for pain relief.
Factors that will affect how long it takes for CBD to work include:
Your weight and body chemistry
The type of CBD product you’re using
How often and how much you take
The quality of your CBD product
In general, CBD may take anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours to work for some people. However, it could take a few days or even weeks to see results for certain ailments.

Full-spectrum CBD products contain a full range of different cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. These compounds all work together to create an effect known as the entourage effect, which is thought to provide more powerful therapeutic benefits than CBD can alone.
It’s important to point out that these products contain trace amounts of THC but not enough to cause a psychoactive effect. Including trace amounts of THC may enhance the effects of other cannabinoids, but if you’re trying to avoid it, broad-spectrum products contain the same compounds without THC.
