CBD and Hemp FAQs

Cannabidiol (CBD) is an active compound extracted from the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant. Unlike regular cannabis, it doesn’t contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient that produces a high when smoked or eaten.

CBD has exploded in popularity over the last few years, thanks to a rise in studies suggesting it may help with a variety of physical and mental conditions. People take CBD to ease anxiety, depression, arthritis, epilepsy, chronic pain, and much more.

Some people may feel lightheaded after consuming CBD, possibly due to changes in their blood flow, brain cells, and nervous system. This is a fairly rare side effect and usually wears off quickly, especially as you become more used to consuming CBD.

The euphoric effects (or ‘high’) caused by consuming regular cannabis come from the presence of THC, a psychoactive compound. CBD flowers are sourced from female hemp plants that have been selectively cultivated to have high amounts of CBD and minimal levels of THC, meaning they don’t cause any kind of high when consumed.

Our products contain less than 0.2% THC, so they don’t cause the psychoactive ‘high’ you’d get from smoking a regular joint. This makes them completely legal under UK law.

CBD oil and CBD gummies work essentially the same way – CBD gummies contain hemp oil infused with high concentrations of CBD, much like CBD oil and CBD capsules. Their only notable difference is in how they’re consumed, as gummies are meant to be chewed before swallowing.

Because of the presence of carrier oils and how quickly they absorb in the mouth, CBD oils tend to enter the body faster than their gummy counterparts.

Everyone’s body is different, so there’s no hard or fast answer to how many CBD gummies you can take. Most people take 1 to 5 a day, depending on how strong they’d like the effects to be.
