General advice for consumption and dosage of CBD oil

The effects of CBD oil vary on how it is taken. There are two main methods: ingested orally or by sublingual administration. In the first case, it will take 30 to 60 minutes to feel the effects, since it must first be assimilated by the digestive system in order to start circulating in the body, thus producing a more prolonged effect. In the second case, it can be applied under the tongue (that is, by lifting the tongue and dropping the single drops, avoiding swallowing for about 60 seconds, avoiding drinking or smoking for the previous five minutes and the following five minutes): with this method, the effects will be more pronounced and quicker, but they won't last long. It is therefore important to reflect on what leads to taking CBD oil and whether it is possible to take it more frequently throughout the day.

How much and which CBD oil to use?

CBD oil comes in three different concentrations.

The best-selling dosages are:

Depending on the needs, there are those who choose to take 1 drop of 30% CBD oil and those who, on the other hand, prefer to take 3 drops of 10% CBD oil. What changes is the pleasantness of taking it.

It is essential to understand the importance of the optimal dosage of CBD oil, the one that produces the best results, so that its consequences can be taken into account. To understand this, you need to follow some basic guidelines such as relying on body weight - as with any other drug, the amount of CBD is also dictated by body weight, this is because each person has a different level of tolerance, which is why it is more convenient than the body react to the right amount of natural ingredients to notice positive results.

Approximately the dose of CBD for every 6 kg of weight should be around 4 mg.

Another suggestion is to always start with a low dosage. This is also a general rule for the consumption of drugs, natural or not: you can try a low dosage at the beginning and gradually increase it if you do not get positive results. Finally, the professional opinion of a doctor, who has knowledge of the natural product, is another important step to get an idea of ​​the ideal dose of CBD oil.

What are the possible side effects of CBD oil?

Assuming that herbal and organic ingredients can be taken in any amount desired, based on the fact that they are deemed harmless, is always a big mistake people make despite the warnings of numerous competent doctors. They are therefore not entirely free from side effects.

For this reason, before using it, it is advisable to carefully evaluate the dosage , for example even water can have harmful effects if taken in quantities greater than 10 liters of water per day.

Each person's experience with CBD oil is unique. You need to familiarize yourself with the expected effects before incorporating the cannabinoid into your daily regimen. Below is a summary of the most common side effects of CBD oil and what you can do to limit or manage their impact.

Dry mouth
Dry mouth, or dry mouth, is a fairly common side effect of CBD that doesn't exclusively occur when smoking or vaping it. This cannabinoid interacts with our receptors attached to the salivary glands, temporarily reducing saliva production. Fortunately, dry mouth isn't harmful, and even if it does occur, it's a side effect that can be easily countered by drinking water or fruit juice.

Tiredness
While less common, fatigue has been reported as a possible side effect of CBD. In most cases, the use of CBD mainly tends to improve concentration and to have a positive effect on sleep. However, if you experience fatigue, reduce the dose by a few drops before gradually increasing it again. If you are new to CBD, start with low strength oils and use them a couple of times a day. This way your body will get used to its action.

Changes in appetite
Appetite is a mechanism strongly influenced by physical and mental well-being. Given CBD's potential influence on both, changes in appetite are quite common. CBD oil can both stimulate and decrease appetite. If the result you experience is not what you want or is counterproductive to your current lifestyle, reduce your daily dose of CBD oil until your appetite returns to normal.

Low blood pressure
In most cases, a slight drop in blood pressure is nearly impossible to feel. However, for those with certain health conditions, even a small reduction in blood pressure can be significant. If in doubt that the product may affect blood pressure, consult your doctor.

Diarrhea
Diarrhea could be one of the side effects of CBD oil, however this issue could be related to the choice of carrier oil. Commonly used carrier oils, such as olive, hemp, and coconut (TCM), are used to enhance the body's absorption of CBD, as well as have a number of nutritional benefits of their own. Some, however, could be due to irritation of the mucous membranes of the gastro-intestinal tract. Again, it is good to start with a low dose and, if diarrhea occurs, change the type of oil.

Dizziness
In some cases, larger doses of highly concentrated CBD oil can cause drowsiness or dizziness. We all react to CBD oil a little differently, and while generalizations can be made about some of the compound's effects, you never know how you'll react until you've taken it for the first time. Also in this case the advice is to always start with a low concentration oil and gradually increase the dose over two weeks.

Pay attention to the dosage and quality of your CBD

It is understood that the side effects and the precautions to be taken when taking CBD are negligible compared to those that can be read in the leaflet of a common over-the-counter drug , if used in the right dosages and by people in good health.

 

Note: the quantities are indicative for an adult weighing approximately 60-90 kg. The dosage varies from person to person. It is usually good to start with small doses, observe the body's reaction and then later increase the number of drops, evaluating over the first week of the trial.

While using it, it is suggested to observe the bodily and psychic functions and, for further clarity, write them down in a diary. Always make an assessment of the condition after one month and in the light of this decide whether to continue or suspend the treatment.

 

CBD oil is always to be considered a dietary supplement, not a pharmacological remedy. It is always a good idea to consult your doctor, especially and above all in cases of serious pathologies or in case of taking medicines, since it could alter their effectiveness.

FAQs

What is CBD?

CBD molecule

CBD – short for cannabidiol – is one of the 60 cannabinoids found in the Cannabis Sativa plant, together with Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It represents the main phytocannabinoid present in the entire plant complex (hundreds of chemical substances and over 70 phytocannabinoids, some of which are still little examined). Recent years have seen growing interest in CBD from the scientific and medical community; many studies in progress. Among these is the relationship between CBD and epilepsy which can be consulted on the World Health Organization website. It is very useful as: anxiolytic, analgesic, antidepressant, muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, antiemetic, anticonvulsant, neuroprotective, antipsychotic.

 

What are its effects?

CBD acts above all on the cannabinoid receptors of the Endocannabinoid System , CB1 and CB2, present throughout the body, incorporated in cell membranes; they are believed to be among the most numerous receptor systems .

CB1 receptors are present in the central ( brain ) and peripheral (nerves) nervous system and other peripheral organs , in lower densities in the heart, lung, testicles, ovary, bone marrow, thymus, uterus, and immune cells.

The CB2 receptors are instead mainly present on the cells of the immune system ; they are found in the central nervous system mainly in the spinal cord

CBD has the ability to inactivate these receptors, limiting the response of the immune system, in order to reduce inflammation, relax muscles, decrease blood pressure, dilate the airways of the bronchi and normalize overstimulated nerves .

Endocannabinoid system

 

In which cases does it help?

According to some studies, CBD can help in the treatment of the following diseases:

• States of anguish and post-traumatic stress
Various forms of anxiety
• Sleep disorders

How to take CBD

Decoction

It is possible to take CBD as an herbal tea, or rather a decoction, by infusing the inflorescences. However, it is a rather bland method, since when the temperature reaches the maximum of 100°, it does not completely allow the active ingredients to be activated.

Inhalation with consumption of inflorescences

The most classic method for consuming CBD is to make the so-called "joint" with light cannabis inflorescences. This is also not the recommended method, because in Italy the burning of hemp flowers is illegal, albeit legal ; moreover, in this case, the combustion exceeds 500°, a too high temperature which quickly degrades up to 40% of the substance. Among other things, combustion is carcinogenic .

Vaporization

Taking CBD via vaporizer is a healthy and functional method; to have a valid effectiveness it is necessary to be sure that the oil in question is not altered by the high temperatures induced by the vaporization, therefore it is important to make sure that the instrument used has a combustion range around 200°C. The intake by inhalation has an almost immediate effect and is very easy to manage as you just need to stop when you feel the relaxing and soothing effect. The beneficial peak arrives about 30 minutes after taking it but then it decreases quickly and does not last long throughout the day. It can be a good way to get relief in times of anxiety or even to help you fall asleep before going to bed.

Concentrated oil in drops

This is undoubtedly the most effective method of taking CBD, the recommended method for those suffering from inflammatory diseases or constant pain. It does not have the immediate effect of inhalation, but begins to act in a recognizable way usually after a few days from the first intake because it works by accumulation. In fact, it is advisable to take it constantly.
 

Differences between THC and CBD

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) are both among the two main and most well-known cannabinoids found in Cannabis Sativa L. . The first is a psychoactive substance: it is the main reason why Cannabis is classified as a narcotic; it is in fact the cause of the euphoric effect and of the high sensation, that of "high". It is the cannabinoid that interacts the most with our brain, from which the result of THC consumption can lead to alteration of cognitive abilities, perception of pleasure and coordination. On the contrary, CBD maintains the positive effects of cannabinoids on the body, without in any way generating psychotropic effects.

Why light grass? Is it legal then?

The herb defined as 'light' is legal and compliant with the Italian law 242/2016 , 639-2014 European decree and 1307/2013 European regulation . All CBD inflorescences, products and derivatives marketed by Lagraste are certified by laboratory analysis, in accordance with European legislation on hemp cultivation.

What if I had to undergo clinical tests?

Lagraste products are not drugs . The tests and clinical examinations that people undergo analyze the presence and intake of illegal substances, which do not include our products. In any case, the physiological response is subjective and Lagraste assumes no responsibility for any use of the product other than that explicitly stated on each package.

Can minors buy?

Due to legislative constraints, it is specified that the products are not suitable for pregnant women, children under the age of 18, and elderly people or people with pathologies.

How to best store legal weed?

According to several studies, the cannabinoids contained in CBD cannabis flowers can remain stable for two years if the inflorescences are stored correctly. So for optimal long-term storage you need to create the perfect environment.
What damages cannabis by ruining its conservation are exposure to light, especially humid air and high temperatures. The ideal is to keep it in the original container or transfer it to a glass jar, to be kept strictly in the dark.
