CBD, or Cannabidiol, is one of over a hundred organic compounds found in the cannabis plant.
These compounds interact with the endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors intertwined with the body’s central and peripheral nervous systems, that has an effect on a number of bodily functions including mood, sleep patterns, appetite, pain, immune response and hormones.
Is CBD Oil Legal In The UK?
Yes, CBD oil is legal in the UK.
Many people assume that CBD oil is illegal because it is made from the cannabis plant. However, it’s THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol, that is the controlled substance found in recreational Cannabis.
CBD, on the other hand, is not a controlled substance, and is made from strains of cannabis that contain naturally low levels of THC. Only CBD oils made from these approved strains of the plant are legal.
As CBD Oil is a completely natural product, it’s considered exceptionally safe.
All of our products are manufactured to an extremely high standard, and our cannabinoid profiles are lab verified so you can be certain you know exactly what you’re putting into your body.
We do advise if you have never used CBD before to start with a smaller dose and work your way up, and if you are already taking any form of medication we recommend consulting your doctor or healthcare professional beforehand.
Does CBD Oil Have Any Side Effects?
While users claim there are many benefits of CBD oil, side effects are extremely rare and are typically very mild if they are encountered.
Taking too much CBD oil too quickly could make you feel a little tired, or may cause an upset stomach, this can be resolved by simply taking a little less for a while to allow your body to get used to the cannabis oil.
Will CBD Show On A Drug Test?
While a high quality CBD oil should not cause a positive result on a drug test, there is a chance that excess levels of THC present in unverified, lower quality products will cause users to fail a drug test.
If you’re worried about CBD oil showing up on a drug test, we have recently launched our CBD patches. They’re designed to give you the full benefits of CBD, but contain no THC, making them perfect for people, such as top level athletes, who are subject to regular drug testing.
Can I Rub CBD Oil On My Skin For Pain?
