Regarding the health benefits of CBD, scientific research has yielded new results almost daily over the past decade. These results are very promising. Many media outlets have capitalized on this by promoting CBD as a “miracle cure for everything.” Producers, in turn, exploit the vague regulations surrounding cannabis. This often leads them to promote CBD with unsubstantiated claims.

Although this may help with the legalization and decriminalization of cannabis, there are still few fully proven medical effects. The results of research into CBD are very promising and optimistic. Nevertheless, many major claims are still in a preclinical phase. Therefore, they are often awaiting official scientific confirmation.

CBD is one of approximately 115 different cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. Cannabinoids, also known as phytocannabinoids, interact with your body and brain. This happens through a very complex endocannabinoid system (ECS). This system appears to influence the regulation of physical and cognitive functions and processes. These include fertility-pregnancy, the immune system, appetite, emotional moods, memory, and even pain.

It is believed that our endocannabinoid systems produce our own “cannabinoids.” These are also known as endocannabinoids. Cannabinoids originating from cannabis plants (phytocannabinoids), when ingested, will enhance our naturally occurring cannabinoid production and/or behave in the same way our internally produced cannabinoids would.

No, CBD does not make you high. Cannabidiol (CBD) is known for its many health benefits. CBD does not have psychoactive, euphoric, or other mind-altering effects like THC does. CBD is usually used as a relaxing, but not intoxicating, agent. Most users experience feelings of relaxation, calmness, and peace. In the vast majority of cases, the effects are not comparable to those of THC.

Although CBD does not make you “high” like THC, cannabidiol has other effects. These effects can influence your state. Therefore, we recommend starting with very low dosages. This way, you can learn what effect CBD has on you.

Generally, you should feel the CBD (Cannabidiol) effects within the first 1-5 hours. The time can be longer or shorter based on the method of intake, dosage, body health, metabolism, sensitivity, body mass, and many other factors.

Most experts agree that the majority of CBD's beneficial effects can be achieved through daily consistency. This means you should use CBD in a consistent dose and for multiple days. That way, you will experience ha whole spectrum of CBD effects. It is also known that different people can react differently. Some can experience very rapid onset and strongly noticeable effects. While others may only have a mild reaction, even after continuous weekly use.

Therefore, we recommend starting slowly. Begin with a low CBD dose (10-30 mg per day). Only increase your intake after you have monitored/analyzed your body and personal reactions for at least one or two weeks.

No, CBD is not psychoactive. Among users, in the vast majority of cases, CBD does not exhibit psychoactive effects.

When used in its pure form (without THC), Cannabidiol will not intoxicate you. Therefore, you will not get high or stoned. That being said, CBD can have a very relaxing effect. Do you plan to drive or operate heavy machinery while using CBD? Evaluate yourself and determine if you are able to do so safely. 

Most cannabis/hemp plants contain a large portion of the approximately 115 possible cannabinoids. This means that almost all cannabis strains contain some amount of CBD. The biggest difference lies in the concentration of these cannabinoids.

In the last 20 years, the recreational cannabis industry has primarily focused on cultivating THC-rich cannabis. This has led to a significant increase in the average THC content in most strains. Consequently, CBD levels have rapidly declined. As a result, most marijuana plants now contain high THC/low CBD combinations.

For a few years now, a change has been underway. More and more research is being conducted, and the potential health benefits of cannabis are also becoming known to the general public. This has led to a large wave of cannabis legalization around the world. For now, this seems to have a greater impact on recreational, THC-rich, cannabis use than on the CBD industry.

Most cannabis plants in nature contain approximately equal amounts of THC and CBD.

Cannabinoids are chemical compounds produced by cannabis. There are approximately 115 different types, the best known being THC and CBD. Most cannabinoids work by mimicking other natural compounds (endocannabinoids). Endocannabinoids are naturally occurring substances in the body that act on various receptors. They primarily affect our nerves, brain, central nervous system, and immune cell functions.

No, CBD is just one of 115 different known cannabinoids. Cannabis (hemp or marijuana) plants often contain the majority of these 115 types.

The entourage effect is a well-documented phenomenon that occurs when CBD is taken in combination with other cannabinoids. These cannabinoids, as well as many different terpenes (certain plant compounds), are present in cannabis plants. These compounds enhance each other when taken together, making them much more effective than when cannabinoids are taken separately.

In principle, the theory is that compounds in cannabis work better when taken together rather than separately. Therefore, the expectation is that you will always get better results when taking cannabinoids together, instead of using them individually in purified form.

The short answer would be: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a recreational psychoactive substance that makes you high. CBD (cannabidiol) is a calming, non-toxic substance known for its health benefits; it does not make you high.

In practice, it's much more complex than that. CBD and THC are known as the “main balancing components of cannabis.” They are therefore the most studied cannabinoids among the approximately 115 types found in all hemp/cannabis plants. Why balancing components? CBD is known to reduce the side effects of THC. Both compounds are also known to balance each other in most natural cannabis varieties. This means that when the THC level increases in a crossbreed, the CBD level decreases. The reverse is also true.

This means that CBD and THC have a great deal to do with each other on multiple levels. Scientists are beginning to discover and understand these complex connections and correlations better and better. As a result, the potency and effects of these substances are becoming increasingly clear.

CBD oil is oil in which CBD (Cannabidiol) is found as the active ingredient. In rare cases, the oil portion is also derived from another plant (such as coconut oil). In that case, the CBD is added in its pure form to create a unique supplement.

Hemp oil (or hemp seed oil) is oil made from hemp seeds. It contains no or almost no CBD. However, it contains many other cannabinoids and compounds found in cannabis seeds.

Both oils may have their own unique potential health benefits.

Most cannabis plants naturally have a balance between THC and CBD. This means that if a plant has 10% THC, it should also have approximately 10% CBD. Over the past 20 years, large-scale recreational cannabis cultivation and plant breeding (hybridization) have enabled us to create increasingly THC-rich cannabis strains. This provides recreational users with a stronger high. At the same time Have CBD levels in most popular cannabis strains grown today drastically decreased.

In Europa bevatten recreatieve cannabis soorten gemiddeld ongeveer 15%THC en 3%CBD. In Noord-Amerika kan dit zelfs 25%THC en slechts 0,2%CBD zijn. De meeste ervaren cannabisgebruikers kunnen dit bevestigen. Sommige gebruikers omschrijven de verschillen als: At extremely high THC levels, the high feels less natural and more synthetic. Instead of being taken to a cool, dreamlike, tranquil place, you're hit with a stick and thrown into a fast elevator that doesn't stop going up..

Furthermore, the entourage effect tells us that you can expect better results when different cannabinoids are taken together. The ratio in this case should be approximately 1/1.
