CBD Frequently Asked Questions

The chemical analysis of a cannabis plant shows that it contains more than 400 different organic compounds, with essentially two large chemical families: terpenes (10-30%) and cannabinoids, in this case phytocannabinoids since they are of plant origin.

While THC represents 12 to 25% of a cannabis plant, cannabidiol or CBD only represents 1 to 4%, explaining why this phytocannabinoid has long gone unnoticed.

It is a bicyclic, lipophilic plant cannabinoid, known under international chemical terminology as 2-[(1R,6R)-6-isopropenyl-3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl]-5-pentylbenzene-1 ,3-diol.

Although the two compounds are chemically close, the pharmacological effects are completely different.

THC is a potentially addictive psychoactive agent, acting on CB1 and incidentally CB2 receptors, leading to a reduction in alertness, with side effects such as paranoia or anxiety.

THC acts directly on the central nervous system like a drug. Binding little to CB1 receptors, CBD cannabidiol does not have this psychoactive action on the brain, has no known side effects such as inebriation or euphoria, and has absolutely no addictive effect.

A comprehensive WHO study (2018) very clearly proves the perfect safety of CBD.

In France, the ANSM, National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products, has long confused the two, explaining the debate and the legal vagueness existing a few years ago. It is now theoretically decided.

CBD hemp oils consist of a cannabidiol extract combined with an oil base , usually vegetable oil. Thanks to the fatty substance in which the CBD is mixed (hemp oil or coconut oil in particular), the latter is more easily assimilated by the human body : we speak of a lipid-soluble molecule (it is diluted in the fat, but not in the 'water). Buying hemp oil gives you two options: an oil with CBD isolate or a full spectrum oil which combines CBD with other cannabinoids naturally in the legal cannabis plant. The effects are then more pronounced thanks to the entourage effect .

CBD cannabis oils are certainly one of the most versatile and easy ways to consume cannabidiol . Different taking methods are available to you:

• CBD oil sublingually : the quickest way to feel the effects. Place a few drops under the tongue, wait 30 to 40 seconds, then swallow.
• CBD oil in capsules : simply swallow them then wait for digestion. The effects appear later, but the dosage is pre-established and taking is extremely simple.
• CBD oil in cooking : ideal for masking the taste. Place them on sugar, in a spoon of honey or in any dish.
• CBD oil for local application : directly on the skin, to relieve skin irritation, or as a massage.

Buying hemp oil allows you to enjoy the effects of CBD in a form that is versatile and convenient to use . The effects sought by consumers are numerous:

• Reduce daily stress,
• Relieve chronic pain,
• Fight against insomnia and benefit from better quality sleep,
• Encourage muscle recovery,
• Benefit from the antidepressant effects of CBD,
• Reduce skin irritation,
• Act against acne problems.

The advantage of CBD oils compared to other products derived from light cannabis is the gentleness of its method of taking and the richness of the dosages it offers: enough to easily control its effects .

CBD cannabis pollens and resins are the legal form of what is colloquially called hashish . I

It is quite simply an extraction of trichomes , small sticky balls located on the surface of cannabis flowers and containing cannabinoids, including CBD. This sticky material is then pressed.

When the concentration of CBD and other cannabinoids is particularly high, the pellet thus formed is very sticky : we speak of CBD resin . When the concentration is a little lower, the pellet is drier and crumbly : we then speak of CBD pollen .

Just like CBD flowers , CBD resin and pollen are perfectly legal, but nevertheless prohibited from consumption by combustion: it is therefore not possible to smoke them .

Both are, however, ideal for vaporization which will allow you, in addition to avoiding the harmful aspects of smoking, to fully enjoy the aromas offered by the variety from which your CBD cannabis pollen or resin was extracted. .

You can also choose to consume them as an infusion , by placing a small quantity in simmering water, accompanied by a fatty substance .

CBD cannabis pollens and resins contain a particularly high content of cannabidiol and therefore benefit from its effects ( relaxation, muscle relaxation, skin soothing, relief of certain pains, reduction of anxiety, better quality of sleep in particular). Directly extracted from light cannabis plants, they also contain other cannabinoids with beneficial effects naturally present in the plant (notably CBG ) as well as terpenes and flavonoids , reinforcing the effects at the same time as they confer all the interest of the aromatic bouquet of a variety.

CBD flowers are simply cannabis buds rich in cannabidiol and harvested from a legal variety. This therefore means that the variety has been specially selected for its richness in CBD and the almost absence of THC (<0.2%). Once the flowering cycle has been reached and the CBD flowers have reached maturity, they are harvested then dried and finally packaged so that they can be sent to you. The interest of CBD flowers lies in the fact that they are covered with trichomes , small vesicles containing cannabinoids , terpenes and flavonoids : it is thanks to them that you can benefit from the effects and aromas of legal cannabis. .

Smoking CBD flowers, even if they are legal, remains prohibited. However, it is possible to consume them in vaporization or infusion. Rich in color, they also make original decorative objects for certain collectors. Using CBD flowers is very simple :

• Vaporize CBD flowers : place the desired quantity in the tank of your vaporizer of plant materials then follow the manufacturer's recommendations for use to enjoy the vape .

• Infuse CBD flowers : roughly chop your flower then place a spoonful in simmering water for around ten minutes. Consume with a fatty substance (whole milk in particular) to benefit from the effects of CBD.
