…in some cases it might be true. So, let’s look at both sides and get a more complete and factual look at CBD, shall we? Many people claim that CBD is just a product of man-made hype that’s made up to sell CBD products.
But CBD isn’t a modern-day snake oil it does have actual scientific research supporting some of its claimed benefits. It’s just that there isn’t a much, if any, clinical evidence supporting the notion that it could cure diseases. Many of the more unbelievable claims about CBD like it being a cancer-cure are simply untrue.
There is some evidence supporting the notion that CBD has beneficial effects like anti-inflammatory effects. However, that doesn’t mean CBD will always work for your pain problem for example.
Really the right view to take is a neutral one. CBD does have scientific backing for some of its reported benefits. But more research is really needed before we can say for sure and remember CBD can have different effects on everyone.
The amount, quality, and form of CBD you take will all impact its effects. To say CBD doesn’t work is a bit too simplistic because many things need to be taken into consideration. So, my best advice is to be realistic with your expectations when taking CBD.
CBD is Illegal
Considering how wildly available it is nowadays you would think this myth would be quite easy to disprove. However, despite this many people do still incorrectly think CBD is actually illegal, but rest assured in the vast majority of cases it isn’t.
So, let’s get right down to it and look at the legality of CBD products, shall we? CBD products are legal in most countries although with certain restrictions. For example, in the US CBD products are legal on a federal level although they need to have incredibly low levels of THC less than 0.3% to be exact. In the UK CBD products are legal if they contain a maximum of 0.2% of THC. Again, the best way to be safe is to buy your CBD from a safe supplier/ manufacturer.
CBD Will Work Quickly
One of the most commonly reported perks of CBD is that it provides instant results and is very fast-acting. This is again something that has been widely reported and you will likely see it on the back of CBD capsule packets but it’s a myth.
Now the good news is some people have reported feeling the effects of CBD quite quickly. But it really seems to be down to the individual, what they’re using CBD for and the type of CBD they’re taking. With so many variables it’s easy to see why there are so many different reports about the speed of effects of CBD.
But in most cases, you shouldn’t be expecting instant results or effects this doesn’t mean the CBD isn’t working or not doing anything beneficial it just means you need to be more patient. Give yourself at least a few weeks and then see how you feel. One study done on epilepsy patients, for example, found that CBD becomes more effective the longer it’s taken.
So, that is a look at some of the most commonly believed myths about CBD. Hopefully, as more research is carried out into CBD, we’ll have a better idea of exactly how it works.
