Does CBD oil work?
The cannabis Sativa plant has two main components: THC and CBD. While THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid, CBD is the relaxing cannabinoid. When we say that THC is psychoactive, we mean that it causes addiction to users, therefore, products that contain more than 0.3% THC are considered illegal by federal law. Cannabidiol or CBD shortly does not cause that effect to users, and that makes it very much valuable and beneficial. To be more precise, CBD’s main job is to alleviate the effects of THC. CBD oil is the most used product of CBD, proving to be very effective in fighting depression, anxiety, inflammatory pain, etc. This substance does work and does work well.

Does CBD oil get you high?
CBD oil will not get you high, because is very much different from THC. We stated above that THC has the psychoactive effect that causes addiction to those who use it. Besides being non-psychoactive, CBD also fights addictivity and fights the effects that THC causes. It acts as the counterpart of THC cannabinoid. This question is very normal to ask because both THC and CBD are cannabis components. But, it is very important to clear something out. It is a known fact that marijuana as a cannabis Sativa variety is illegal because contains more than 0.3% limit of tetrahydrocannabinol. But, cannabis Sativa has another strain or variety called hemp, which in most cases has less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol or no THC at all.
This strain may contain up to 20% CBD (there are others that contain more, as Fenocan states). This makes it a perfect plant to cultivate in order to get CBD oil. Because hemp contains up to 20% cannabidiol and less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol it is legal. You may cultivate it, transport it, sell it in a regulated way. There are special stores, cannabis-related stores everywhere these days, and the number of stores is increasing constantly. Before using it though, it is always a good practice to consult your doctor, especially if you are using other medications. So, as a final statement let’s just say that: CBD oil is safe, it doesn’t get you high, and last but not least it has numerous health benefits.
