What Are the Effects of CBD on the Body?

By Todd Dunsmore for the Observer

As with any substance, each body is going to respond to CBD in its own way. Everyone has something called an endocannabinoid system made up of receptors (CB1 and CB2), which are located all over the body. When studies started on cannabinoids, it was found that the body makes a similar substance called endogenous cannabinoids (endocannabinoids). These neurotransmitters affect the body in many different ways; they can regulate pain and even reduce anxiety. The role of endocannabinoids is to promote balance when it comes to mental, physical and emotional health.

There is a condition called clinical endocannabinoid deficiency (CECD) that some individuals suffer from. When the body does not create enough endocannabinoids, it can cause serious health problems. A few conditions scientists believe to be associated with CECD are:

• Multiple sclerosis (MS);
• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS);
• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD);
• Parkinson’s disease;
• Fibromyalgia;
• Neuropathy;
• Huntington’s disease;
• Seizures;
• And even autism. 

Consumers report that using CBD oil has helped reduce the effects of some disorders and diseases. It is speculated that they experience relief because of how the body uses CBD. Once introduced, CBD oil triggers the CB1 and CB2 receptors to produce more endocannabinoids. With an uptake in production, the body balances out and begins healing. Studies have been done to show that CBD helps reduce inflammation and treat pain caused by swelling.

Side Effects Reported While Using CBD Oil

As with most supplements, there are reported side effects that go along with using CBD. Most of the secondary effects are not life-threatening, but some patients have had signs of liver injury while using CBD. The common side effects are:

• Lower blood pressure;
• Dizziness;
• Fatigue;
• Irritability;
• And dry mouth.

Some consumers report taking CBD oil to acquire better sleep and to lower their blood pressure. For this reason, it may not have been reported as a side effect by some individuals while they were taking it. Not everyone is going to experience the same side effects, and some individuals have reported no side effects at all. Researchers have stated that this could be due to how frequent a person is using CBD or how much they are using at one time. Because each person is going to process CBD oil differently, side effects may vary.

If you are already taking prescribed medication, it is advised you speak with your doctor before moving forward with taking CBD oil. Some studies do show that CBD oil can interfere with other drugs, over-the-counter medicine and blood thinners. There is little known about how much CBD should be taken to treat an affliction. It is recommended that a person starts with the lowest dose possible and gradually move up until getting the desired effect.

Where Can CBD Be Purchased?  

CBD oil can be found everywhere. Major retailers are carrying it, gas stations, corner shops and even liquor stores. Everyone is looking to get in on the CBD movement. Recent news reports have issued warnings about purchasing CBD products online. With an influx in the market, there are many great CBD-related offers on the internet; but, according to a study cited by Consumer Reports, only a fraction of CBD oil purchased online actually contained CBD. Out of the bottles tested, some were found to have no CBD at all, while others contained unreported THC.

The safest way to purchase CBD would be to shop around. Find people who have used CBD products and ask them what company they recommend. Research vendors before you buy from them. Are they reputable? The cheapest product is not the best in this situation. The cost of reliable CBD oil may be a little high, but at least there is an understanding of what you’re putting in your cart. And one final note, make sure that the product is domestically sourced, lab tested and the retailer can provide a COA or Certificate of Analysis, like we can (the link that says "here" below has a documentation link for our COAs)!  Not many retailers provide a 60 day, empty bottle guarantee like we do!
