What is CBD?
CBD (or cannabidiol) is a molecule taken from the hemp plant. Hemp has over a hundred different cannabinoids.
The best known is THC, however, CBD and THC should not be confused.
While THC has psychotropic effects, CBD is devoid of it.
Cannabidiol does not exhibit psychotropic effects and does not induce dependence.
It is used for its relaxing properties.

2% THC.
CBD is not classified as a narcotic or a criminally-offensive drug.
What is CBD used for?

Being able to relieve stress and anxiety, it can be effective in treating muscle pain thanks to its analgesic properties.
Its anti-emetic properties reduce the side effects of chemotherapy.
Known to help fight against addictions, cannabidiol is effective in weaning from THC, tobacco or even opiates.
How does CBD work?
The human body has an endocannabinoid system which is connected to many systems: nervous and peripheral central, digestive and immune system.
This cannabinoid receptor system is present throughout the human body from head to toe! It is then necessary to evoke a system of locks and keys.
The systemendocannabinoid (locks) requires certain cannabinoids (keys) to be activated.
The takeaways: CBD is a naturally occurring molecule in the hemp plant and it’s perfectly legal.
CBD either has no THC or it can contain up to 0.
2% at most to be compliant.
CBD molecules fix a wide array of health issues
This molecule has many virtues which are particularly effective for the problems of mental health, nausea, sleepiness, sleep, anxiety, muscle pain… This cannabidiol molecule offers benefits for the brain and the body, and that, naturally.
Now that CBD is no longer an alien concept for you, we’ll cover these essential steps to get started.
Step 1 – Choose how to consume CBD.
Before starting the use of cannabidiol, the modes of administration are important and preponderant to obtain the desired effects.
The bioavailability of each form of product containing CBD is different.
Bioavailability
Bioavailability indicates the proportion of CBD that can reach the bloodstream.
The digestive tract:
This is CBD in the form of capsules, herbal teas or oil, these products, containing cannabidiol, can be ingested directly or mixed with food or drink.
The active principles of hemp will take longer to appear, less intense, but will be diffused throughout the day.
The sublingual route:
CBD will be offered in the form of oil or crystals to be placed directly under the tongue.
This method of administration is even more effective if the product is left for a minute under the tongue.
The bioavailability of CBD in this form is important because the molecule is quickly found in the blood.
The effects will be more intense and will last quite a long time.
Learn how to increase effects of CBD to maximize effectiveness
Transdermal way
It is possible to apply creams containing cannabidiol directly on the skin. This mode of use is not the fastest way to feel the effects of CBD.
You can also find patches that allow a prolonged action of CBD.
Inhaling CBD
There are also e liquids containing CBD to vaporize with an electronic cigarette.
This mode of use has a very good bioavailability, because the CBD molecule arrives quickly in the blood.
CBD flowers, resin, and pollen can also be inhaled via a dry herb vaporizer.
Rectally or vaginally
the CBD molecule is also found in the form of suppositories and these products also have excellent bioavailability.
It is important to know that not all varieties of CBD hemp offer the same benefits.
Each of them has different virtues. Some act on the cerebral side, others on the body.
It is therefore essential to choose the CBD adapted to your expectations.
- You feel stress, anxiety.
- You have trouble falling asleep and sleeping.
- Want to take care of your body and restore its balance.
- You want to wean yourself off THC.
- You suffer from temporary or chronic muscle pain (fibromyalgia).
Step 2 – Measure out your Dosage of CBD
The use of the CBD molecule can bring certain well-being and meet your expectations.
It is advisable to start with a low dose, in order to be able to estimate whether the product is sufficiently dosed according to the expected effects.
Cannabidiol levels are shown in percentages or milligrams.
If you are new to CBD, it is recommended that you start at a low or medium rate.
After your first few tries, you will be able to tell whether or not you need to increase your level and dosage of CBD.
The route of administration is also important depending on its bioavailability.
If you used to use a product with low bioavailability with a high level of CBD and you wish to switch to inhalation for example, it will always be advisable to start with a low level of cannabidiol.
Each mind is different, each metabolism is different… In summary, we invite you to start with a low rate, then if necessary increase the dosage little by little, until the desired balance.
The recommended dosage according to your weight is to be taken in 2 doses: one at the end of the day and another before bedtime.
The recommended dosage according to your weight is to be taken in 3 doses: morning, noon and evening.
These dosages are given as an indication.
Start with a low dosage to gauge the effects of CBD on your body.
If you feel that the dose is not strong enough, increase the dose by 2to 3 drops.
If, on the other hand, you find that the effects are too strong, lower the dose by 2 to 3 drops.
What about CBD Dosage for Anxiety?
For relieving symptoms of anxiety with CBD oil products, we recommened taking 4 drops of your favorite CBD product underneath your tongue, and waiting 2-3 minutes before swallowing.
Once you’ve swallowed the contents, be sure to take a good glass of water and rinse your mouth, unless you enjoy that strong, herbal taste!
