🧪 Understanding Cannabinoids
What is CBD and what are its benefits?
CBD (Cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. It doesn’t produce a “high” feeling but has been associated with potential benefits including anxiety reduction, improved sleep quality, and pain relief. Always consult a healthcare professional before using CBD for health purposes.
How does CBD differ from THC?
While both come from the cannabis plant, CBD and THC work differently in your body:
- CBD is non-intoxicating and won’t make you feel “high”
- THC is psychoactive and produces the euphoric effect associated with cannabis
- Legal CBD products in Greece contain less than 0.2% THC
- CBD is generally considered safe for daily use
🔍 Usage & Safety
How do I use CBD products correctly?
Usage depends on the product type:
- Oils: Place drops under your tongue and hold for 60 seconds before swallowing
- Edibles: Start with a small dose and wait at least 2 hours before taking more
- Flower: Can be used in a dry herb vaporizer at 180-210°C
- Topicals: Apply directly to skin as needed
Are there any side effects to using CBD?
While CBD is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience:
- Dry mouth
- Fatigue
- Changes in appetite
- Potential interactions with certain medications
We recommend consulting a healthcare professional before starting CBD, especially if you take other medications.
