CBD FAQs…. Here’s what you need to know
What is the Endocannabinoid System?
One of the most frequently asked FAQs… Is what is the Endocannabinoid system? (ECS).
Every human and many animals too have a system present in their bodies known as The Endogenous Cannabinoid System.
The Endocannabinoid System: A formal definition says the Endocannabinoid system “is a group of Endogenous Cannabinoid receptors located in the mammalian brain. Throughout the central and peripheral nervous systems, consisting of neuromodulatory lipids and their receptors.”.
In simple words: It is a vital system that affects just about every other system.
This system is so heavily involved in supporting our health that it can restore and improve balance, when we are run down or make poor lifestyle choices.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is just one of over 85 Cannabinoids presently identified in the Cannabis plant. The two main ingredients that are found in the Cannabis plant are CBD and THC. Theses are also known as Cannabinoids.
CBD is known as a non-psychoactive Cannabinoid meaning, it won’t get you high. This unique feature of CBD is what makes it so great and appealing for taking care of ourselves.
Our bodies naturally produce Endocannabinoids – a compound similar to CBD. That’s why taking CBD is so important in supporting our health and wellness.
How much CBD should I take?
Each person’s endocannabinoid system works differently and reacts differently with each person body. There is no straight, solid scientific information that states how much CBD you should be taking at any one time, always start off with a small dose and work your way up.
Height and weight play a part as well as the quality of the CBD oil. If you are bigger or taller than the average person you may need more and visa versa.
Its advised you do not go over the daily dosage recommendation of 200mg.
Will CBD get me high?
Another particularly common CBD FAQs…. Will CBD Get me high?
No, Cannabidiol (CBD) will not get you high. CBD is non-psychoactive.
In other words, after using CBD products, you will not experience significant changes in mood, awareness or state of your mind.
THC is the psychoactive cannabinoid – the one that recreational users use to get “high”.
Can I use CBD if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Cannabidiol (CBD) products are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Why cant I pay by PayPal anymore?
You will find most CBD companies in the UK, will no longer be able to offer PayPal payments through their website.
This is because PayPal is governed by US laws which classifies hemp-derived products as narcotics.
We can offer various other methods of payment.

When it comes to taking CBD with other medications, we only ever advise one thing- if you are unsure, check with a medical professional before using it as it can, on occasion, interact with other medicines. Always stick to the recommended dose too and if you are taking other meds keep a two hour window between taking CBD and whatever else you take.

I get drug tested at work... will I be ok?
Drug tests are carried out because THC is known for the feelings of euphoria it provides and this is the illegal part! CBD products to be legal in the UK must be less than 0.2% THC, and there should be less than 1 mg (THC) in any subsequent container of CBD oil or product that is sold.
To summarise, although you shouldn’t have a problem passing a drugs test, consumers that take full spectrum CBD products may fail a urine test for traces of THC. However, further testing such as a blood test, will show that the levels of THC from a full spectrum CBD product are none psychoactive.
