CBD oil dropper

Who would have thought that CBD oil would become a household staple for many people in recent times? We’re seeing celebrities, influencers, parents, and even dogs (Martha Stewart’s dog in particular) using CBD as a way to treat everyday ailments without turning to big pharma. With all of this interest that’s buzzing around CBD oil – it makes you wonder if it really works. Even The New York Times reported on the question “is CBD oil a scam” and the answer was: no, it’s not. There is both anecdotal and scientific evidence that indicates CBD oil works to treat anxiety, PTSD, and seizures, just to name a few ailments. As reported by the Brighten Group, a cannabis market research firm, more than 60 percent of CBD users have taken CBD oil for anxiety out of 5000 people surveyed. That’s a lot of people! If you’ve just gotten into CBD oil, or you’re looking for it in Eglinton, Weedjar is the dispensary to visit in Scarborough.

 

 

 

What is CBD?

CBD is a cannabinoid that is extracted from a cannabis plant. Short for Cannabidiol, this cannabinoid is one of approximately 100 cannabinoids that are found naturally in a Cannabis Sativa plant. For this particular cannabinoid, CBD is extracted from hemp. And although it does not get you “high”, CBD has become a lot more popular since cannabis has become legal in Canada.

Is CBD Psychoactive?

This is a question that comes up quite often with contradictory statements. The short answer is yes, but not like THC. While CBD has psychoactive properties, it actually does not make you “high” like you’d experience if you were to ingest THC – tetrahydrocannabinol. THC is responsible for the “high” feeling you experience with cannabis, and it can even produce adverse effects like anxiety, whereas CBD is used to treat or soothe anxiety. Each body responds to cannabinoids differently based on the endocannabinoid system, so our advice is to try what works for you and go from there.

How is CBD Oil Made in Scarborough? 

CBD oil is made through an extraction process using the flowers and buds of hemp or cannabis plants. A cannabis plant can either be classified as hemp or THC depending on the amount of THC found in the plant. For a plant to be classified as “mind-altering” or as marijuana, it has to have more than 0.3 percent of THC. Anything below that is considered hemp! Manufacturers in Scarborough will either use a hydrocarbon or ethanol extraction method to produce CBD oil.

 

What are the Benefits of CBD?

There are plenty of uses for CBD, some common ones that have been researched and reported on include: 

  • Easing anxiety and depression
  • Treating some epilepsy syndromes
  • Managing PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) 
  • Relieving chronic pain.

Can I Use CBD Oil Often?

Yes, there is anecdotal evidence that suggests that frequent use of CBD can prevent flare-ups amongst those who experience chronic pain, anxiety, or those who struggle with insomnia. However, if you are using CBD to treat daily ailments, please remember that we (your budtenders) are not medical professionals. If you’re concerned or curious about using CBD oil, make sure you speak to one! 

 

Why is CBD/Hemp Oil So Popular in Scarborough?

One of the reasons why CBD oil is so popular is due to its ability to treat common ailments without the feeling of being “high”. It can be used to help reduce pain, relax muscles, manage insomnia and treat anxiety.
