🧪 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.
