We answer the questions; can cbd get you high? What is THC? and more…

Many people have heard about CBD. Still, more and more people are discovering this naturally derived chemical as the CBD craze continues to spread. One fun fact that always makes people pause for thought is that CBD is one of the many chemicals found in the Cannabis Sativa plant, aka marijuana.

The big question is always, “Does CBD get you… high?” The quick answer is no. It doesn’t get you high. Read on to find the specifics.

THC Vs. CBD: Only One Will Get You High

The Cannabis Sativa plant contains over 400 chemical entities, but the two most famous are CBD and THC or cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol, respectively. These two chemical compounds are classified as cannabinoids, but they have opposing effects! Best to not get them mixed up.

Sativa has a high THC content, so it’s popular among cannabis smokers. This implies that THC is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that gets you high. Symptoms associated with marijuana use include feeling high or euphoric and being in a relaxed or sleepy state.

However, the effects of THC can also include increased anxiety and impaired coordination, judgment, and memory, depending on the dose and the person’s body chemistry. These are precisely the sort of effects that made marijuana use illegal worldwide. But people are starting to recognise its potential benefits to help the critically ill and others that have not responded to traditional forms of treatment.

But not all chemicals in cannabis make you high, which is where CBD comes in. This is wonderful news for users who want to experience the benefits of cannabis without the high. The trick is to remove THC from the equation and isolate the beneficial compounds. This is where CBD has appeared from all around the world.

As mentioned, cannabidiol and tetrahydrocannabinol have opposing effects. While THC can induce psychotic symptoms and feelings of euphoria, cannabidiol (CBD) has antipsychotic properties and neuroprotective effects. Research indicates that it can block the psychosis-inducing effects of hallucinogenic THC.

CBD is responsible for the calming, relaxing effect that cannabis can produce. It also counteracts the THC found in the compound. Many culinary experts that now use cannabis in cooking, use THC at the start to bring the diner ‘up’ and use higher levels of CBD at the end of the meal to steadily bring them back ‘down’.

So, How Does Cannabidiol Make You Feel?

CBD on its own does not make you high (this can’t be overemphasized enough!). Its effects are generally beneficial because of its ability to interact with the human body’s endocannabinoid system. Users may experience the following effects:

  • Calm – It can help alleviate anxiety and make you feel calm. However, this calm state is not similar to the high or sense of euphoria induced by THC. It’s a relaxed state that’s more balanced. Browse our balance range.
  • Improved energy – Unlike THC, which causes slower reaction times, cannabidiol can provide a much-needed energy boost or help bring your body into a state of equilibrium. Browse our Boost range.
  • Improved well-being – It has a wide range of beneficial purposes. For instance, it’s now approved to treat epileptic seizures. It may also help treat insomnia, anxiety, pain, and inflammation. Browse our Bed Range.

These effects are far from those experienced when THC enters your system. So not only does cannabidiol not intoxicate, but it’s also typically safe to use and comes with many health benefits.

However, it is worth noting that as every human is a unique creation of chemicals and organisms that all cannabinoids can effect people differently.

Do CBD Products Contain THC?

If you’re thinking of incorporating CBD products into your wellness ritual, no worries! You should know that legit manufacturers extract cannabidiol from hemp, not marijuana. Hemp is a type of cannabis plant that contains 0.3% or less THC. At these levels, the amount of THC is nowhere enough to make you feel high or induce psychosis.

If you’re shopping from your favourite CBD dispensary, it’s common to have the amount of THC stated on the product label as verified by third-party lab testing. In the UK, it’s completely legal to use products that contain cannabidiol, provided the manufacturer uses ingredients derived from an EU-approved industrial hemp strain.

This automatically means that all products derived from hemp will not make you high since hemp doesn’t have a high THC content. That being said, it’s always best to do your due diligence. Always shop from trusted websites and stores that offer properly authorized products.
