How Can I Use CBD Oil?

If you have heard raving reviews and experiences about Cannabidiol or CBD Oil, then chances are that you are already waiting for the perfect opportunity to try out your luck with this helpful and beneficial product. After all, not everyone could be lying about the never-ending list of benefits that it has in store for us. However, the idea of using CBD oil can be scary enough with all the paranoia and stigma surrounding it without knowing how to use it properly. As a first-time user, you may be unsure how much CBD oil to take in a single dose, how often to take it, or where to apply it. To resolve that issue, here is a detailed guide on how to take CBD oil and other forms of CBD supplements. It might surprise you to learn just how many ways you can take CBD. Overview All the products discussed in this article are Cannabis CBD supplements only. CBD is a cannabinoid derived from the non-toxic member of the cannabis plant family. (1) CBD oils and drops which are permitted as food supplements come from the hemp plant as it primarily contains non-toxic compounds like CBD or cannabidiol and others like THC but in trace amounts only. You may hear a lot about the use of the cannabis plant and CBD to combat symptoms of health concerns like stress, sleep issues, arthritis, and pain. However, it must be noted that an insufficient number of research studies with results have been carried out as of today to confirm such health benefits as factual. How Can I Use CBD Oil Or Add It To My Diet? One of the easiest and most common ways to take CBD oil is through an oral CBD oil tincture. This method is simple and fast-acting due to its properties as a product. To use an oral tincture or bottle of oil: Fill the dropper to about one-third of the way full Put a few drops of CBD oil beneath your tongue (The reason why you take oral tinctures sublingually is because there are many minute capillaries near the surface of your skin under your tongue. CBD oil can be more easily absorbed into the bloodstream due to the proximity of these capillaries, whereas absorption through digestion is a much slower process) Let the oil sit under your tongue for about 90 seconds before swallowing; this gives your body ample time to absorb it. CBD oil can also be added to food or used topically. As it is an oil, there is no limit to what food you can add it to. Adding CBD oil to food is not as effective or fast-acting as taking it sublingually, but it can be more pleasant if you dislike the taste or feeling of taking it orally. Research has shown that up to 50% of the CBD can be lost in the digestive system meaning it is 50% less effective when digested. (2) Additionally, you can apply it directly to problem areas topically and let your body absorb it through the skin. This method is also not as potent as taking it sublingually, but it does bring faster relief to the specific area you apply it to. If you are still unsure about taking CBD oil along with other medications then you are best to speak with your doctor first. Whatever way you choose to take CBD into your body just remember that it should be a quality product and taken daily like any other vitamins, minerals, or multivitamins you add to your diet. CBD Oil For Pets And Its Dosage Just like how CBD Oil is used for human beings, it is often also used for pets as well. (3) There are several methods for delivering CBD oil to pets, a few of which have been discussed here: Method 1 The most foolproof technique is to simply add it to their food intake. Work out the dosage and add it to their wet food or foods like treats they may get during the day. Start with a small amount first; if they don’t mind the taste, keep adding more until you reach the correct dosage. Method 2 The second method to give pets CBD oil is to give it to them orally. This method is extremely dependent on if your pet is willing to cooperate. Gently hold their mouth open and deliver the dose with a dropper. If they are agreeable, they will merely swallow it. Reward them with a treat after to ensure they continue this good behavior. Another useful method that you can use if your pet is fussy is to add CBD oil to treats. Use porous treats that absorb the oil well, or buy pre-made CBD treats. This way, your pet will enjoy taking CBD and see it as a reward. Other Methods Of Consuming Cannabidiol While CBD oil remains the most popular form of CBD consumption due to its versatility and relatively low price, there has been a recent rise in the variety of CBD products available on the market. Other CBD products tend to be more expensive than CBD oil as more ingredients and processing go into making them. However, the convenience they provide is often worth the price to many people. While you can take CBD oil through several different means, not everyone enjoys how it tastes, feels, or the application process. If you have mobility issues, poor eyesight, or just bad coordination, using a dropper can be pretty tough. Many people prefer to avoid this method and skip right to edibles, creams, and capsules. With more and more people taking CBD, producers have risen to the challenge of finding a form to suit every person’s tastes. Here are a few of the most popular forms CBD can take and how to use them. CBD Gummies CBD gummies are one of the most enjoyable ways to receive your daily dose of CBD. To take a CBD gummy, you need only chew

10 CBD Experts Give Warnings About the Cannabidiol Industry

10 CBD Experts Give Warnings About the Cannabidiol Industry

What does the future hold for the CBD industry in Europe and the rest of the world? Many issues surrounding CBD continue to evolve and change. When taking a look at what’s next for CBD, it helps to consult the experts. Welcome to the Dr. Hemp Me 2020 CBD Expert Roundup Talk. I contacted a wide variety of CBD experts from across Europe to gather their opinions on the biggest challenges facing the CBD industry. They explained where they think our industry is heading in the next five years. Their answers cover a wide range of topics, including legal issues, banking, retail opportunities, and much more. As you’d expect, the novel food issue, potential legalization, and changing public opinion also came up frequently. Ready to learn more about what the future has in store for CBD? Let’s dive into the details: Brian Cusack Founder Dr. Hemp Me Finding Reputable Banks One of the biggest issues I hear about is banking. How can CBD sellers find a secure, accessible way to handle their financial transactions? The two main areas sellers have issues with are the following: Setting up a business bank account Working with online payment processors such as PayPal and Stripe Almost everyone in our industry feels most of Europe’s banking laws need updating and reform in regards to CBD. However, it’s important to note that many believe we’ll only see significant banking reform after we see changes regarding the legality of CBD. The Novel Food Issue The legality of CBD in Ireland is complex. When we talk about CBD sold legally in the country, we’re almost always talking about hemp-derived CBD. It’s divided into two types: CBD Isolate A pure version of CBD without oil, chlorophyll, wax, or other parts of the hemp plant. It contains no traces of THC. It’s the only type of CBD sold in retail stores and pharmacies. Full-Spectrum CBD This type is made from the entire hemp plant. It contains waxes, chlorophyll, oils, and cannabinoids. The only way to buy it in Ireland, and much of Europe, is from online retailers. Full-spectrum CBD can have up to .2% of THC – trace amounts for sure, but still detectable. Novel Food Issue That trace amount of .2% THC is a big deal, legally-speaking, due to what’s often referred to as the “novel food issue.” What does that mean? The European Food Safety Authority recently changed the classification of CBD to that of “novel food.” They developed a set of guidelines for CBD products. While not legally binding, most EU countries follow these guidelines when developing their own CBD regulations. In Ireland, CBD is only legal if it has no traces of THC. However, if a CBD product is processed in a way that removes all traces of THC, that product then becomes subject to novel food authorisation from the European Commission. The Food Safety Authority of Ireland requires that the European Commission authorises all CBD isolate products as a novel food. The alternative is to use cold-press processing, which produces oils and other CBD products that have a trace amount of THC. However, the problem is that those trace amounts of THC mean the product violates the Misuse of Drugs Act 1977, which bars all cannabis derivatives that contain THC. The Next Five Years & Beyond The novel food issue traps businesses in a no-win situation, where they’re either violating Ireland’s food safety regulations or the law. Fortunately, public opinion on cannabis use is softening. Most industry experts, myself included, believe public opinion towards both CBD and cannabis will increase in favorability during the next five years and beyond. Changing CBD Classification In the next five years, I predict Ireland will finally determine whether or not to add CBD into the medicinal cannabis range. If so, that means hemp-derived CBD could only be obtained with a prescription, because it would no longer be classified as a food. Personally, I believe classifying hemp-derived CBD oils within the medicinal cannabis category would be a mistake. The medicinal part of the plant is THC, so only cannabinoids should be classified as such. Hemp-derived CBD, which is THC-free, should remain classified as a food supplement. CBD Medicinal Claims CBD is currently classified as a food supplement, which means no company should make medicinal claims about its use. Unfortunately, an increasing number of CBD companies make medicinal claims about their products. I and many others in the industry worry about this trend. If CBD manufacturers continue to make medicinal claims about their products, eventually governing bodies will intervene to assess these claims. Ultimately, they might decide to reclassify CBD products from food to medicine, which I believe would harm the industry as a whole. As a member of the Cannabis Trade Association, I will continue to remain committed to a thorough screening of every brand that joins. All CTA members are forbidden from making medicinal claims about their products. Industry Classification Finally, I believe all facets of the industry will focus on developing and strengthening regulations related to the manufacturing of CBD projects. As we see an increase in cheap CBD oils made with substandard extraction methods, it’s important to always fight for fair, consistent production standards. Poor quality CBD products tarnish the industry and turn away customers. However, high-quality standards have the opposite effect. They entice customers and help project an image of responsibility for the entire industry. BRIAN CUSACK Founder Dr. Hemp Me Marc Garrett Founder of the Prime Spectrum CBD From the unnecessary negative stigma to the percentage of accepted THC value (Right now is 0% for CBD products) to Ireland relying on the billions the Pharmaceutical Industry gives the Irish economy and Trump wanting these industries back, to the Novel Food Act, there are so many unknowns that many would have to think twice or even three times before wanting to get into this Industry. There is so much wrong in this space right now. It’s not unjustified in thinking the industry is not up against
