They all are in the same family called Cannabaceae. CBD (Cannabidiol) is a chemical generated from Cannabis alongside THC.

There are more than 80 other specific chemicals.

CBD oil is extracted from cannabis plants using various procedures. Many people are using CBD oil for its beneficial effects on different health conditions. However, there is always a chance for side effects when you use physiological body-changing health supplements. Unfortunately, when it comes to CBD, the answer is yes, it has. We can divide its side effects into two main categories; Short-term and Long-term. Let’s find out more about those two with details.

Short-Term Side Effects of CBD

Short-term side effects only occur when CBD remains in the body. It means, most of the time, the symptoms will start to vanish after CBD wears off from the body. In other words, the short-term side effects may happen just after CBD takes effect. There is a potential that can last from 2 or 3 minutes to a few hours. Sometimes, they’ll run for a day or two. 

The below list includes the most reported short-term side effects of CBD.

  1. Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension)
  2. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)
  3. Loss of Appetite
  4. Diarrhea
  5. Fatigue
  6. Skin Rash
  7. Nausea & Vomiting
  8. LightHeadedness

Long-Term Side Effects of CBD

These only happen as a result of your regular usage. According to several health reports, people who suffer from long-term side effects of CBD are more likely to be addicted to drugs. Some of them are already addicted to things like smoking and vaping. Especially, combining CBD oil with pharmaceutical medications can cause long-term side effects. But, there are few long-term side effects reported from CBD. 

The below list includes long-term side effects of CBD.

  1. Signs of Liver Injury
  2. Low Immunity
  3. Changes in Weight
  4. Drowsiness & Tiredness

                What Causes the Side Effects of CBD?

CBD oil contains its chemicals. When you use CBD, it interacts with your receptors in the body. The receptors can control organ functions. Eventually, the result of the interaction gives you both benefits and side effects. You can’t control it as it happens automatically from your body.

But more things cause side effects. Therefore, you should be concerned about all of them. They are,

Excessive Use 

Using high doses of CBD oil is a massive concern that we’re facing right now. Many people don’t know how to use CBD oil with control. Others don’t care about it at all. 

Interactions With Other Medications

Other medications don’t often interact with CBD. But sometimes, CBD helps other drugs to become stronger or weaker than expected within the interaction period and after. It could lead to side effects. 

Other Health Problems

CBD has a good record of using it for various diseases like cancer, arthritis, epilepsy, and more. Sometimes, it may go in the wrong direction. Some people have aggravated their health disorders by using CBD. It always happens according to the various types of internal structures of the body. 

Allergies

Just like other drugs, allergies can happen with CBD oil. It drives to side effects such as swelling, loss of consciousness, skin rashes, elevated blood pressure, and other usual effects of allergies. 

Low-Quality Products

When it comes to the extracting process of CBD oil, there’s a chance that they can contaminate from cultivation to manufacture. Mostly, this happens in cheap hemp cultivated places full of soil contamination. As a result of these things, the final product may contain harmful compounds. And it causes side effects like skin rashes, confusion & memory loss, vision loss, and headaches.

     How Could I Overcome the Side Effects of CBD?

Don’t be too afraid after knowing all the side effects of CBD. You can get rid of it all at home despite some of the long-term side effects. But they also can be passed through some medical treatments. Here are the things you should do at home.

  1. Drink more water, fruity juices, and chew gum (For Dry Mouth)
  2. Take CBD oil with meals (For Poor Appetite)
  3. Take CBD alongside caffeine (For Fatigue)
  4. Lie down for a while (For LightHeadedness)
  5. Limit the dose of CBD oil 

You can reduce other effects from taking medications under a proper guideline from your doctor.

                               Is CBD Oil Safe for Me?

Everything affects different people in different ways. Therefore, CBD oil also should be avoided from the people who belong to the below categories. 

  1. People Trying to Conceive a Child
  2. Pregnant or Breastfeeding Mothers
  3. People with Liver Disorders
  4. People suffering from Low Blood Pressure 

Those four are the main categories. Furthermore, don’t use (or be careful when using) CBD oil if you’ve allergies to cannabis products. And always take instructions from your doctor before taking CBD oil if you’re using other drugs and medications.

Almost all of the above side effects of CBD oil wear off with time. Keeping the best practices such as drinking more water, take CBD oil with food will always reduce those side effects. Especially, please use CBD oil with a proper limitation. And take care of your health before everything else.

 Benefits of CBD? and What about CBD? https://www.bbncommunity.com/benefits-of-cbd/ Sun, 29 Aug 2021 17:10:45 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=33356 According to a survey of 5,000 people, more than 60% of CBD users use it to relieve anxiety. Is there a point?

 Benefits of CBD
Benefits of CBD

The CBD industry is growing successfully and is projected to reach $ 16 billion by 2025. Herbal extracts have already been added to cheeseburgers, toothpicks, and breathing sprays. According to a survey of 5,000 people conducted by the Brightfield Group, a cannabis market research firm, more than 60% of CBD users suffer from anxiety disorders. Followed by chronic pain, insomnia, and depression. Kim Kardashian, for example, turned to production when she was “terrified” about the birth of her fourth child. Professional golfer Bubba Watson goes to bed with it. 

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a lesser-known component of the cannabis Sativa plant; its more well-known sibling, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the psychoactive component of marijuana. The plant’s origins are thought to be in Central Asia, and it was first used medicinally — or for rituals – around 750 B.C., though there are other estimates.

Cannabidiol and THC are just two of the 100 cannabinoids in the plant. THC is psychoactive and may or may not be CBD, but it is debatable. THC can increase anxiety; If CBD is present, it is not clear what the reduction effect will be. THCs can cause addiction and cravings; CBD is studied to help those recovering.

Cannabis contains 0.3 percent or less THC. Although the Farm Act last year legalized cannabis under federal law, it also protected food and administration oversight of products derived from cannabis.

What are the claims?

Anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder are all symptoms that CBD is said to help with. It is also marketed to promote sleep. Part of the popularity of CBD is that it can be said to be “non-mental” and consumers can enjoy the health benefits of the plant without the hassle (or midsummer pizza munchi).

Cannabis seedlings are widely grown and marketed throughout the United States. From oil and nasal sprays to lollipops and candles, no place seems to be sacred for CBD. On the use of weeds for CCD, Dr. Brad Ingram, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, said: “The room is occupied by a monster. He is leading a clinical trial to give CBD to children and adolescents with drug-resistant epilepsy.

Does CBD work?

Michael G., co-director of the Cannabis Research Center at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. “It’s relatively safe and can be relied upon for a variety of therapeutic approaches,” said James McIlropp, co-director of the Degroot Center.

Last year’s F.D.After three randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled clinical trials with 516 patients taken with other medications, Epidiolex, a purified CBD extract, has been approved to treat rare epileptic seizures in patients aged 2 and up. These types of studies are the golden standard of medicine and participants are randomly divided and the subject or investigator does not know which group is taking placebo or medication.

Epidiolex is the only drug available from CBD approved by the F.D.A with the hope of treating other conditions with herbal extracts. Much of the research on cannabidiol has been done on animals, and its current popularity goes far beyond science. Ryan Vandrey, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, said: “We have not yet found the 101 courses on CBD.

Is CBD effective for anxiety and (PTSD)?

A four-minute talk with little time to prepare can be debilitating for students with generalized social anxiety.CBD appeared to reduce nervousness and cognitive impairment in patients with social anxiety in a simulated public speaking task, according to a small study published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology.

In contrast to the placebo group, healthy volunteers who were given CBD showed little to no difference in their emotional response to unpleasant images or words in a double-blind study. Harriet de Wit, the co-author of the study and a professor in the University of Chicago’s department of psychiatry and behavioral neuroscience, explained, “If it’s a calming drug, it should change their responses to the stimuli.” “However, that was not the case.”

Many soldiers return home haunted by war and PTSD, and they avoid activities, places, and people who remind them of their traumatic experiences. The Department of Veterans Affairs is funding the first CBD-psychotherapy study.

Mallory Loflin, an assistant adjunct professor at the University of California, San Diego and the study’s principal investigator, says, “Our top therapies attempt to break the association between reminders of the trauma and the fear response.” “At least in animal models, we believe CBD can help that process move along much more quickly.”Despite the fact that large clinical trials are currently underway, psychologists say there isn’t enough evidence to prove that this is a viable treatment.

Is CBD beneficial for sleep and depression?

Stuck watching puppy videos at night? CBD can promise as a sleep aid; According to McIlroy, co-author of a review of cannabinoids and sleep, Drowsiness was one of the Epidiolex epilepsy side effects. “It can be a clue if you’re looking for new sleep treatments,” he said.

But he warns that side effects can be caused by interactions with other medications that children take to control the epidemic. For sleep disorders and CBD, there has yet to be a randomized placebo-controlled, double-blind test (gold standard).

According to a recent chart review of 72 psychiatric patients treated with CBD, they experienced increased anxiety but did not sleep. Above all, we found that “we could not find that it was considered a useful treatment for sleep” by the Assistant Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado at Denver and the lead author of a review in The Permanent Journal.

Sleep problems can be caused by a variety of factors, including depression. Mice seemed to adapt better to stressful situations after taking CBD and did not show behaviors such as depression, according to a review in the Journal of Chemical Neuroscience. “Surprisingly, CBD seems to work faster than conventional antidepressants,” wrote Samia Joca, a professor at the University of Sහස්o Paulo in Brazil and a professor at the University of Sao Paulo in Denmark. In an email interview. Of course, animal depression is difficult to diagnose, but studies by Ms. Joka and her colleagues have suggested that mice and rats treated with CBD are more resistant to exposure to chronic stress.

However, psychologists say CBD’s antidepressant effects are still hypothetical and not an evidence-based treatment because no human clinical trials have been conducted.

Is CBD dangerous in any way?

Marcel Bonn-Miller, an adjunct assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine, stated, “If you take pure CBD, it’s pretty safe.” Diarrhea, sleepiness, fatigue, weakness, rash, decreased appetite, and elevated liver enzymes were all reported as side effects in the Epidiolex trial. Also, the safe daily amount to consume, or whether to consume any at all during pregnancy, is unknown.

Curaleaf Inc. was recently issued a warning letter by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for making “unsubstantiated claims” that the plant extract treats a wide range of ailments, including pet anxiety, depression, cancer, and opioid withdrawal. (The company said in a statement that some of the products in question were discontinued and that it was working with the FDA.)

CBD isn’t recommended for anxiety, PTSD, sleep, or depression, according to Dr. Smita Das, chair of the cannabis workgroup of the American Psychiatric Association’s Council on Addiction Psychiatry. She is concerned that patients will delay seeking appropriate mental health care if they turn to these unproven products: “I’m also concerned about how exposure to CBD products can lead someone to continue using cannabis products.”

Unwanted surprises could be lurking in some CBD products. Virginia Commonwealth University forensic toxicologists tested nine CBD e-liquids that claimed to be 100 percent natural. According to a study published last year in Forensic Science International, they found one with dextromethorphan, or DXM, a synthetic cannabinoid that can cause anxiety, psychosis, tachycardia, and death when abused and used in over-the-counter cough medications. They also found four with Spice, a synthetic cannabinoid that can cause anxiety, psychosis, tachycardia, and death when abused.

A previous study discovered that only about a third of the 84 products tested contained the amount of CBD listed on the label. Some CBD users have also failed drug tests because the product contained more THC than was stated on the label.

According to the American Association of Poison Control Centers, 1,090 people have called poison control centers this year about CBD. Over a third of those who were exposed to other products or had drug interactions were treated, and 46 were admitted to a critical care unit. Concerns about 318 animals were also expressed to the Animal Poison Control Center of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Is CBD a scam or not?

Researchers claim that a few drops of CBD oil in a mocha or smoothie won’t help. The placebo effect, according to doctors, may also be at work in making people feel good. When a person believes a drug is working and their symptoms appear to be improving, this is referred to as a positive response.

“CBD is not a sham,” said Yasmin Hurd, director of the Mount Sinai Addiction Institute in New York City, who led a double-blind study of 42 recovering heroin addicts and discovered that CBD decreased cravings and cue-based anxiety, both of which can lead to relapse.“It has medicinal potential, but putting it in mascara and tampons, for God’s sake, I think that’s a rip-off.”

Cannabidiol (CBD)  https://www.bbncommunity.com/cannabidiol-cbd/ Mon, 09 Aug 2021 08:27:23 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=32965 cannabidiol (CBD)
cannabidiol (CBD)

Cannabidiol, also known as marijuana or hemp, contains the chemical Cannabis sativa. Cannabinoids are a group of over 80 chemicals found in the Cannabis sativa plant. While the main active ingredient in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol can also be obtained from hemp, which contains only trace amounts of THC.

The 2018 Farm Bill made it legal in the United States to sell hemp and hemp-based products. However, this does not mean that all cannabidiol products derived from hemp are legal. Because it is still being studied as a new drug, cannabidiol cannot be legally included in foods or dietary supplements. Additionally, cannabidiol cannot be used in products that make therapeutic claims. It is now legal to sell hemp and hemp products in the United States, thanks to the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. That isn’t to say that all cannabidiol products derived from hemp are legal. Cannabidiol cannot be legally included in foods or dietary supplements until it has been studied as a new drug. Furthermore, cannabidiol cannot be used in products that claim to be therapeutic.

What we know and don’t know about cannabidiol (CBD)

Cannabidiol (CBD) has received a lot of press recently, and you might have seen it as a supplement in your post-workout smoothie or morning coffee. What is CBD, exactly? What’s the deal with it suddenly becoming popular?

Cannabidiol differs from marijuana in what ways?

CBD is the abbreviation for cannabidiol. It’s marijuana’s second most common active ingredient (marijuana). CBD is a component of medical marijuana that comes from the hemp plant, which is a relative of the marijuana plant. While CBD is one of the hundreds of components in marijuana, it does not produce a “high” by itself. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, “CBD has no effects Suggests that in humans it may be abusive or addictive. There has been no evidence of any public health issues associated with the use of pure CBD to date.”

Is cannabidiol legal?

CBD still exists in many parts of the United States, despite its legal status. CBD is legal in all 50 states with various restrictions, and the federal government considers CBD a marijuana class, but it is rarely active. The FDA relaxed regulatory requirements in December 2015, allowing researchers to conduct CBD experiments. Many people who do not have a medical cannabis card now buy CBD online. The government’s position on CBD is unclear, depending on whether the CBD is obtained from cannabis or marijuana. The legal status of the CBD is likely to change and it is difficult to ban the CBD as there is currently bipartisan support in Congress to legalize hemp.

Cannabidiol’s health benefits are supported by evidence.

CBD has been touted for a variety of health issues, but the strongest scientific evidence is for its efficacy in treating some of the cruelest childhood epilepsy syndromes, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which do not respond to anti-seizure medications.CBD has been shown in numerous studies to reduce the number of seizures and, in some cases, to completely stop them. Videos of the effects of CBD on these children and their seizures can be found easily on the Internet, and they are quite impressive. Epidiolex, which contains CBD, was recently approved by the FDA as the first cannabis-derived medicine for these conditions.

CBD is commonly used to treat anxiety, and studies suggest that CBD may aid in falling and staying asleep in patients suffering from insomnia.

CBD could be an effective treatment for a number of chronic pain conditions. Applying CBD to the skin can reduce the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, according to a study published in the European Journal of Pain. Another study showed how CBD inhibits inflammatory and neuropathic pain, two of the most difficult types of chronic pain to treat. More human research is needed in this area to back up CBD proponents’ claims about pain relief. More human research is needed in this area to support CBD proponents’ claims about pain control.

Is CBD a safe substance?

Nausea, fatigue, and irritability are some of the CBD’s side effects. Just like grapefruit juice, CBD can raise the level of thinner chlorhexidine in your blood as well as other medications in your blood. CBD is primarily marketed and sold as a supplement, not a medication, which raises serious safety concerns. Dietary supplements are currently uncontrolled by the FDA in terms of safety and purity. As a result, you can’t be certain that the product you buy contains active ingredients in the dose specified on the label. Other “unknown” elements may also be present in the product. Other (unknown) substances could be present in the product. We also have no idea what the most effective CBD therapeutic dose is for any given medical condition.

How does it work?

The brain is affected by cannabidiol. The exact cause of these side effects is unknown. Cannabidiol, on the other hand, appears to prevent the breakdown of a brain chemical that affects pain, mood, and mental function. Preventing this chemical’s breakdown and increasing its blood levels appears to reduce psychotic symptoms associated with conditions like schizophrenia. Cannabidiol may also inhibit some of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol’s psychoactive effects (THC). Cannabidiol appears to be effective in the treatment of pain and anxiety.

What are the benefits and how effective are they?

Seizure disorder is likely to be effective (epilepsy). The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a prescription product (Epidiolex, GW Pharmaceuticals) to treat seizures caused by Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex. It’s unclear whether other forms of CBD can help with seizures. For the time being, sticking to the prescription product.CBD has sparked interest for a variety of other uses, but there isn’t enough reliable data to say whether it will be beneficial in these situations.

Likely Effective

Epilepsy is a type of seizure disorder (epilepsy). The US Food and Drug Administration has approved a prescription product (Epidiolex, GW Pharmaceuticals) to treat seizures caused by Dravet syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, or tuberous sclerosis complex. It’s unclear whether other forms of CBD can help with seizures. For the time being, stick to the prescription product.

CBD has sparked interest for a variety of other uses, but there isn’t enough reliable data to say whether it will be beneficial in these situations.

Possibly Effective

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease that affects people of all ages (MS).In people with MS, a prescription-only nasal spray containing both 9-delta-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (Sativex, GW Pharmaceuticals) has been shown to help with pain, muscle tightness, and urination frequency. Outside of the United States, this product is used in over 25 countries. However, the evidence for cannabidiol’s effectiveness in treating symptoms of multiple sclerosis when used alone is mixed. According to preliminary research, using a cannabidiol spray under the tongue may improve pain and muscle tightness in MS patients, but not muscle spasms, tiredness, bladder control, mobility, well-being, or quality of life.

Side Effects

CBD is possibly safe to take inappropriate doses when taken by mouth. It has been shown that doses of up to 300 mg per day can be safely used for up to 6 months. Higher doses of 1200-1500 mg per day have also been taken for up to 4 weeks with no side effects.

CBDs can cause side effects such as dry mouth, low blood pressure, mild headaches, and drowsiness. Signs of liver damage have also been reported in high doses of the CBD prescription Ebidiolex.

There isn’t enough reliable data to say whether CBD is safe or what the potential side effects are when applied to the skin.

Warnings and Special Precautions for CBD

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Taking CBD while pregnant or breastfeeding may be dangerous. CBD products may contain other ingredients that are harmful to a developing fetus or infant. Stay away from it if you want to be safe.
  • Children may be able to take a specific prescription CBD product (Epidiolex) by mouth in doses up to 25 mg/kg per day. This product is safe to use in children over the age of one who has certain medical conditions. It’s unclear whether other CBD products are safe for kids.
  • People who have the liver disease may need to take lower doses of CBD.
  • Parkinson’s disease: Some preliminary research suggests that high doses of CBD may exacerbate muscle movement and tremors in some Parkinson’s patients.

Cannabidiol’s final word

The government has chastised some CBD manufacturers for making unsubstantiated claims, such as that CBD is a cancer cure, which it is not. More research is required. but CBD could be an effective treatment for anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. We can’t pinpoint effective doses because there isn’t enough high-quality evidence from human studies, and because CBD is mostly available as an unregulated supplement, it’s difficult to know exactly what you’re getting. If you decide to try CBD, check with your doctor to make sure it won’t interact with any other medications you’re taking.

Make Healthy CBD -Infused Baked Goods – why Decided Jenny Argie https://www.bbncommunity.com/why-she-decided-to-make-healthy-cbd-infused/ Sun, 04 Jul 2021 08:03:38 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=31828

Jenny Argie was sick of feeling sick. Surviving breast cancer and three active kids left her feeling worn out, without the energy she needed to not just thrive but survive. She started eating a plant-based diet and using healthy CBD in the form of full-spectrum hemp oil. While it was the start of her road to recovering her health, Jenny took it to the next step, creating Jenny’s Baked at Home.

Baked at Home Is About Food as Medicine

She found the market saturated with low-quality CBD. Every company was selling artificially flavored cannabidiol drinks or healthy CBD edibles filled with processed junk, and couldn’t find quality products to incorporate into her cooking. She took the ideas behind her plant-based diet to help inform the kind of hemp she was looking for. With that blueprint in mind, she formed a partnership with organic hemp farmers and extractors to create full-spectrum, organic hemp oil. 

While you’ll find the more traditional tinctures, balms, and gummies on her website, you’ll also find real food, items like CBD-infused olive oil, coconut oil, and brownie mix. So what exactly are these healthy treats supposed to do for you?

Benefits of CBD

healthy CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the hundreds of cannabinoids in hemp. Unlike its better-known sibling, THC, CBD does not have psychoactive properties that cause the “high” people associate with cannabis. cannabidiol, however, does have some of the same calming properties and is currently undergoing extensive scientific testing. Here’s what is known so far.

All cannabinoids interact with the human endocannabinoid system (or the ECS of any other mammal). The ECS is still being studied but it’s clear that it has a role in sleep, mood, memory, and pain processing. Autoimmune diseases are on the rise in the U.S. and while there are many ways they affect the human body, all are marked by inflammation. CBD has been shown to fight inflammation, with one study noting that cannabinoids “constitute a potent treatment modality against inflammatory disorders.”  

Besides its anti-inflammatory properties, initial studies and anecdotal evidence suggest healthy CBD is helpful in treating anxiety, depression, and sleeplessness, as well as generally elevating mood. It’s even being studied as a potential treatment for seizure disorders that don’t respond to available medications. All of this without recognized side effects.

Benefits of Organic CBD

All of the benefits of CBD could potentially be undone if you aren’t making sure that the cannabidiol you use is organic. The USDA recognizes the “organic” designation to mean that it is non-GMO and free of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Pesticides have been linked to everything from Alzheimer’s and ADHD to cancer and birth defects. You can understand why Jenny found it important to find organic suppliers. These farmers make sure you’re healthy, the plant is healthy and the environment is too.

Jenny says, “After using full-spectrum hemp oil with highly potent cannabidiol, I was surprised. I felt rejuvenated.” If you want to see the results of healthy CBD for yourself, talk to your physician. Like any other supplement, it can potentially interact with your current medications.

Questions to Ask Before Buying CBD Gummies https://www.bbncommunity.com/questions-to-ask-before-buying-cbd-gummies/ Wed, 14 Apr 2021 03:11:28 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=31126 CBD Gummies
https://gethappyhemp.com/product-category/cbd-gummies/

You may have heard all the hype about CBD gummies and want to try some for yourself. As with trying any new product, you’re going to want to learn everything you can before buying it. The more you know, the better your chances will be that you’ll get the best kind for your specific needs. After all, you want all the benefits and no risks!

What Are CBD Gummies?

CBD gummies are edibles that are beneficial for those who don’t enjoy the taste of CBD oil alone or have trouble swallowing pills. They come in various flavors, so you can have the choice to pick your favorite. Because of how discreet and delicious they are, gummies have become an increasingly popular way to consume CBD.

Important Questions to Ask

If you’re not familiar with CBD, you’ll want to ask the seller these important questions before purchasing CBD gummies. Knowing this information will ensure you get the best quality product for your unique needs. You’ll also know what to look for so you can achieve your desired effects. Before buying CBD gummies, here are some things you want to consider first.

Where Is the CBD Sourced?

CBD can be sourced from industrial hemp or marijuana. Besides the fact that one is federally legal and the other is not, the other major difference between the two is that CBD gummies derived from marijuana may have higher TCH levels. This is why it’s important to know where the CBD in your gummies is sourced. Some people can be more hypersensitive to THC, and some states are stricter than others when it comes to the percentage of THC allowed in CBD products. 

What Else Are In the Gummies Besides CBD?

We all want to know exactly what we’re putting in our bodies, so make sure to check what else is in your CBD gummies before you purchase. Most of them are filled with artificial colors and flavors, and other ingredients can create additional effects. Be cautious of CBD products that contain propylene, glycol, and vegetable glycerin, as these can be harmful to the body.

How Was the CBD Extracted?

How the CBD was extracted can have a major impact on the quality of your product, so make sure to ask this question before buying. The main methods of extraction include oil extraction, solvent extraction, and CO2 extraction. Oil extracted CBD isn’t very potent and is also perishable. Solvent extracted CBD is incredibly dangerous and produces the lowest-quality CBD products. CO2 extracted CBD is costly and creates the most concentrated amounts of CBD.

Are There Third-Party Lab Results?

Reputable CBD vendors always ensure that a third-party lab tests their products. Quality control of these products is mostly in the hands of whoever is selling them since there aren’t any federal regulations surrounding the CBD industry. Most sellers have their lab results readily available on their website, or you can ask to see one. Be wary of vendors who don’t have third-party lab results.

How Much CBD Is There Per Serving?

Not everyone can tolerate the same amount of CBD, so you’ll want to know how much is in each gummy or serving. This is especially important if you’re trying CBD for the first time, as it’s recommended for beginners to start with a lower dosage. Other people may need larger doses to feel their desired effects.

Is It Full-Spectrum or CBD Isolate?

You might notice that some CBD products are labeled as full-spectrum or CBD isolate, but what does that mean? Anything labeled as full-spectrum contains CBD and all the other cannabinoids, terpenes, and amino acids you’ll find in hemp, including small amounts of THC. This allows you to experience what’s known as the entourage effect. CBD isolate removes all the extra components and contains pure CBD.

Are You Interested In Trying CBD Gummies?

Now that you know the best questions to ask, it’s time for you to find the right kind of CBD gummies for your needs! Consider what you want to achieve from trying the gummies, and make sure you pick what can best suit you. This will make your experience much easier if it’s your first time trying CBD.

What are the Best CBD Edibles for Stress and Anxiety https://www.bbncommunity.com/what-are-the-best-cbd-edibles-for-stress-and-anxiety/ Wed, 14 Apr 2021 02:26:22 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=31115

One of the easiest ways of taking cannabidiol or CBD is to chew on them. Look for the best CBD edibles, which can be easily ingested, discreetly taken, and conveniently portable to manage stress and anxiety. What’s more, these edible cannabidiols are mighty tasty too. 

Are CBD Products Legal?

Did you know that plant-based CBD products containing less than 0.3% Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are legal federally, though not under some state laws? However, cannabis-based cannabidiol products are illegal federally, though they are legal under some state laws. 

It is heartening to note that 14 states have legalized cannabis-based C B D products. New Jersey voted in its favor last year. 

How to Choose the Best CBDs?

The best way to manage stress and anxiety without any side effects is to buy the best cannabidiol edibles with only natural and organic ingredients, which you can verify from the details printed on the label. Some cannabidiol products contain cannabinoids, terpenes, fatty acids, flavonoids, herbal extracts, and carrier oils.  Checking the hemp source is essential. 

The ones grown in the United States and the European Union are safe as the farming processes and guidelines are regulated and followed strictly. Hemp grown under such conditions is likely to be free of toxic chemicals, contaminants, pesticides, and heavy metals. Hemp sourced from the U.S. and EU has less THC, higher amounts of healthy fatty acids, and plant minerals that are good for general health.

Extract Types 

Most CBD edibles come in three types: isolate, full-spectrum, and broad-spectrum. a cannabidiol isolate is a preferred choice as it contains no THC, though full spectrum CBD may contain traces (less than 0.3%), which does not cause any psychoactive effects.  Broad-spectrum also is free of THC. cannabidiol edibles are offered as lollipops and gummies and are easy to carry and consume discreetly while on the go. 

How does CBD help manage Stress and Anxiety?

The human body has many types of receptors, which are protein-based chemical structures fixed to the cells. These receptors, namely CB1 and CB2, receive signals from any stimulus. CBD is known to react with these receptors, present in the central nervous system (CB1) and the peripheral nervous system (CB2). 

CBD is believed to affect the CB1 receptors by altering the serotonin signals. The neurotransmitter serotonin plays a significant role in human mental health. While low serotonin levels lead to depression and anxiety, enhancing serotonin levels acts as a mood elevator and helps manage anxiety and stress.  

Research by the National Institute of Drug Abuse indicates that CBD reduces stress levels in animals like rats. The research also states that, unlike the psychoactive THC, cannabidiol does not provide euphoria or intoxication. Several study subjects under observation displayed low behavioral signs of anxiety, while the physiological symptoms of anxiety significantly increased heart rate and showed marked improvement. 

A study conducted in 2016 indicated that CBD has antipsychotic effects in schizophrenia patients, though it does not cause any debilitating side effects that are usually caused by other antipsychotic drugs. 

Summing it Up

CBD edibles are the safest and easiest way to manage stress and anxiety without the risk of side effects. These edibles are easy to carry and take, even in public, producing the desired results quickly and effectively.

The Ultimate Guide to CBD for Seniors with Joint and Back Pain https://www.bbncommunity.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-cbd-for-seniors-with-joint-and-back-pain/ Sun, 04 Apr 2021 04:07:02 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=31032 Cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD, is a compound found in cannabis and hemp plants that can act as a relaxing and pain-relieving agent for the body. Ever since the legalization of hemp in many states, CBD products have been popular for anxiety reduction, pain relief, etc. 

Many products are currently in the market for different consumers. Though these products are not FDA approved yet, users have reported that they do indeed work well. Such items for seniors are also in the market and have positive effects on the consumer.

What is CBD & how does it work?

CBD is most commonly extracted from hemp instead of cannabis, contrary to popular belief. Since hemp contains less THC, the mind-altering component which gives a “High effect” to the user, hemp cannabidiol products, such as Sunday Scaries CBD, are not only beneficial but devoid of such effects.

These products, upon consumption, act as a relaxant and signal the body to calm down, resulting in reduced anxiety and lower levels of pain. These benefits also come with minimal side effects, making CBD the ideal product for its users.

cannabidiol targets receptors present in the endogenous cannabinoid system, causing the reduction of pain, anxiety, etc.

People might doubt its efficiency since it does not hold certification from the FDA, but regular users know that it is effective for them and believe that the FDA will soon approve such products. FDA has just approved one drug containing C B D for the treatment of epileptic seizures.

Is CBD safe for the use of seniors?

One of the biggest concerns of new users is regarding the safety of CBD due to a myth that cannabidiol comes from cannabis. Most products come from hemp, which contains low levels of the mind-altering component present in cannabis in more significant amounts. That makes the products safe for consumption since there is no risk of having a “high” feeling after consumption.

Minor side effects like nausea, lethargy, and low blood pressure, come with the consumption. But they are not severe and do not persist for long either. Since it is a relaxant, some drowsiness is natural, and most of these effects wear off after 2-3 uses.

A report by the WHO on CBD stated:

“CBD is usually well-tolerated in people with a good safety profile. Reported adverse effects may be as a result of drug-drug interactions between existing medications taken by the patients and CBD.”

It only confirms that cannabidiol is safe for consumption, and users will not have to face many side effects unless they consume other medications that may cause issues.

Why choose CBD for pain?

With so many FDA-approved pain relief medicines present in the market already, you must be curious as to why one should choose cannabidiol over them. CBD has proven to relieve pain in multiple instances for multiple purposes.

Research conducted at Cornell University in 2018 involved dogs with osteoarthritis. The dogs that consumed CBD showed more movement and signs of reduced pain. It showed that C B D has pain reduction capabilities and can work efficiently for humans too.

But so do other pain medicines, so what exactly is the difference between them? C B D comes with significantly lesser and less severe side effects than painkillers for the same purpose. In short, C B D offers pain reduction and comes with fewer side effects.

In their research article published in 2018, Corroon J and Phillips JA concluded:

“A large percentage of respondents indicate that CBD treats their condition(s) effectively in the absence of conventional medicine and with non-serious adverse effects.”

Thus, CBD products are popular among users who have benefitted from them.

Why is CBD great for Seniors?

Seniors often face joint and muscle pain issues, and though these issues are frequent and common, the discomfort caused by them often limits the person from doing all desired activities. The bone density lowers, and the person faces difficulties while performing physical activities.

That leads to even lesser activity and further pain. Most people opt for ointments or painkillers to fight such joint pain, but CBD is also very effective for curing such pain. CBD, through multiple research pieces, has been proven to be an anti-inflammatory and alleviate pain. 

Thus, C B D for joint and back pain reduction is also great, making the product ideal for seniors. There is an added benefit of the absence of severe side effects as-well-as no high-effect.

What are other benefits of CBD in seniors?

Apart from alleviating pain, CBD also helps in many other problems, especially in seniors. Some added benefits of CBD are:

  • Regulated sleep cycle- Seniors often face sleep issues caused by muscle spasms. Lack of sleep then leads to further problems in the body. C B D significantly reduces such spasms and improves the quality and duration of sleep.
  • Anxiety Reduction– Anxiety might also arise in seniors due to multiple causes, but CBD, being a relaxant, helps alleviate it.
  • Appetite Stimulation– Lack of appetite is a common occurrence for seniors, but C B D can increase and regulate appetite.
  • Fighting Heart Problems– Recent studies have discovered that C B D leads to healthy blood pressure and reduction of heart-related issues. 

What are the CBD products?

cannabidiol products come in various forms for a variety of purposes. We can categorize the products into two categories:

  • Consumables items like oils, gummies, tablets, etc.
  • Topical products like balms, lotions, etc.

While consumables are taken directly or with food and drinks, topical products are applied directly to the skin.

For seniors, topical products are more common since they are applied directly to the concerned area. Consumables, however, are a lot more effective than topical products since they are concentrated and work well too.

Before making a purchase, you must check to see THC levels and other components to ensure that they are below the legal limits.

Conclusion

CBD products have taken the market by a storm, and avid users recommend the product for pain reduction, anxiety alleviation, etc. Seniors can also access relevant products to help with chronic or occasional joint and back pain.

The product is efficient and has lesser reported side effects, making it ideal for seniors to consume. While we wait for further research and the FDA’s approval on the products, one can consume these products after some research to help with common issues.

3 Common Cannabis Accounting Problems & How to Solve Them https://www.bbncommunity.com/3-common-cannabis-accounting-problems-how-to-solve-them/ Sun, 21 Mar 2021 15:18:58 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=30892

As the cannabis sector continues its expansion, cannabis accounting problems are running rampant. In an industry that’s characterized by intense regulations and costly infractions, compliance is essential. Whether it’s limited access to traditional banking services, cannabis inventory management, or something else, accounting problems left unresolved can destroy everything you’ve earned up until this point.

So what are the most common cannabis accounting problems? And how can you solve them before they break the bank?

Keep reading to learn how to handle your cannabis business’s accounting problems effectively.

Cannabis Accounting Problem #1: Limited Access to Traditional Banking Services

One of the top cannabis accounting problems cannabis business operators have trouble with is the lack of access to traditional banking services. This is because many banks are nervous about the federal ban on these operations. 

This is actually a common myth: bank and credit unions can bank cannabis. However, institutions have to conduct customer due diligence that can be rather in-depth. This can include:

  • Contacting state authorities to determine whether the cannabis operation is appropriately licensed and registered.
  • Analyzing the license application and all related documentation from the cannabis business to obtain an appropriate state license to operate.
  • Asking state licensing and enforcement authorities for information about the cannabis business and all related parties.
  • Learning about the normal and expected activities for the business, including but not limited to the kinds of products it plans to sell and the customers it’s planning to serve.
  • Continuing to monitor publicly available sources for adverse information pertaining to the cannabis business and all related parties.
  • Continuing to monitor for suspicious activities.
  • Refreshing information to maintain due diligence.

To solve this common cannabis accounting problem, you need documentation to prove the legitimacy of your business. Then, it comes down to finding a financial institution to suit your needs. Banking solutions exist; you just need to know where to look. You can contact every bank in your city for information on cannabis financial options. 

The right cannabis accountant will know the credit unions, the banks, and other financial institutions to fulfil your needs. If you need traditional banking for cannabis, keep your name clean of “420” and “cannabis” to avoid the company being too obviously associated with the plant. In some cases, it might be best to have a non-cannabis entity to gain access to banking.


Cannabis Accounting Problem #2: Expired or Irrelevant Licenses

Whichever state you’re in, it will have a set of cannabis licensing regulations. And, of course, you’ll need to remain compliant, regardless of whether you operate in medical or adult-use cannabis.

You’ll need all documentation in order. This means knowing whether your state demands business licenses or business licenses and retail licenses. You could also need to obtain a cultivation or dispensary license, depending on your operation.

While this might seem obvious, many cannabis business operators are making this key cannabis compliance error. They fail to:

  • Know what licenses they need
  • Maintain the right licenses
  • Pay all application and association fees

Thus, it’s crucial to have the appropriate documentation for your operation. Again, this is where a cannabis accountant will shine.

Your cannabis accountant will stay on top of county, state, and federal tax compliance. They’ll know all current regulations and maintain your documentation. This also involves checking and monitoring licensing needs, documentation, and application and associate fees.

Cannabis Accounting Problem #3: Failing to Report Inventory

Failing to report cannabis inventory is a big no-no. Inventory management is essential, and seed-to-sale tracking must be incorporated into every business dealing with these products.

California, for example, will issue a compliance infraction if you don’t report cannabis inventory. But other states have similar regulatory practices. These infractions can cost thousands of dollars and result in license forfeiture.

To solve this issue, you’ll need to monitor your cannabis inventory. Having a system in place makes this easier. This system will facilitate submitting compliance inventory reports regularly.

Cannabis inventory management is crucial for compliance. So if you haven’t been handling your company’s inventory management effectively, it’s best to set up some inventory management SOPs to get your business on track to avoid expensive infractions.

5 Essentials of High-Quality CBD Products https://www.bbncommunity.com/5-essentials-of-high-quality-cbd-products/ Thu, 18 Mar 2021 06:53:18 +0000 https://www.bbncommunity.com/?p=30852

CBD or Cannabidiol oil is sourced from the cannabis plant. It offers various therapeutic benefits, which include easing the symptoms of conditions like epilepsy, anxiety, or cancer. 

Some cannabidiol products contain trace amounts of THC or tetrahydrocannabinol. That way, you won’t get high after consuming them. THC happens to be the primary psychoactive cannabinoid in the cannabis plant.

There are a plethora of CBD oil products available in the market presently. However, not all of them are created equally. 

You won’t find any over-the-counter cannabidiol products approved by the FDA of Food and Drug Administration that are available over-the-counter or OTC today. Not all products are equally reliable and effective as others; consumers also react differently to different ones. 

Hence, it is essential that you know to choose the best quality CBD products. Here is a guide to help you out.

Guide to Choose High-Quality CBD Products 

When searching for CBD products to ease symptoms like anxiety, chronic pain, or anything else, it is always suggested that you do your research. This will help you determine the most suitable cannabidiol product that is legit and most effective. 

Here are some tips to help you –

  • Look at the Lab Tests 

    Lab testing is essential to make sure you are purchasing something pure. Any legitimate company will have the batches tested by a reliable third-party lab. So you should keep looking if the company from which you are buying fails to respond to questions to prove that their products have been lab-tested. The final product must be tested to ensure that the cannabinoids are intact. It should be your number one rule to pick up high-quality CBD products. The manufacturers should be testing their products for potency and contaminants like pesticides, heavy metals, and microbes.

  • Check How the Hemp is Grown

     All the hemp used in cannabidiol production should be grown in soil enriched with nutrients in the US itself. These should be natural-proprietary strains that are high in CBD. The farmers should be working with strict guidelines to improve the quality of the strains and to ensure that the products are consistent, safe, and their potency is unmatched.

  • How the Hemp Oil Is Extracted

    CBD oil is extracted typically by two methods – ethanol or CO2. Though CO2 is the more complicated extraction method between the two, it is always preferred, especially because of the purer end product. According to research, ethanol can destroy some of the health benefits that the plant offers. A majority of CBD devotees prefer the CO2 procedure of extraction because it is the cleaner of the two methods.

  • Read the Customer Reviews

     Do not buy anything online without going through at least a handful of customer reviews. Health claims are said to be the biggest accountability in the hemp industry. That is why you should know first-hand from the users if they experienced any benefits after using the particular product. People’s reviews on products can help you decide on what to purchase – be it a CBD product to help with anxiety or pain or a pet-friendly hemp CBD oil for your kitten or pup.

  • Check Out the Ingredients

    Before purchasing a CBD product, check what the company adds to the product, including the sweeteners and flavors. Many add grape seed, orange, or coconut oil for taste. But some sites recommend that you should stay away from junk ingredients like artificial corn syrups.

These are just some of the things that you should check before purchasing high-quality CBD oil products. Only then can you rest assured that you are getting the true value for money.
