CBD LEGAL

Is CBD legal?

When we talk about cannabis or hemp, we are actually referring to the same plant, which is further divided into Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica. These two varieties represent the same plant with different characteristics and uses. The use of CBD extracted from industrial hemp in the European Union is legal as long as it does not contain levels above 0.2% of THC.

Is CBD oil intoxicating? 

CBD oil is not intoxicating and does not induce feelings of being high or drugged. It is important to note that CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, which means that it does not produce the psychotropic effects associated with THC.

Will CBD appear in a drug test?

No alterations have been observed in the main physiological parameters, such as blood pressure and heart rate, nor have significant adverse effects been identified in psychomotor functions in clinical studies. The few identified side effects, mostly observed in in vitro studies or animal models, include the reduction of fertility, the inhibition of liver enzymes involved in the metabolism of pharmacological substances, and alterations of cell viability.

  • Coexistence of various health issues
  • Simultaneous intake of medications.

How long does the CBD effect last?

The effect and duration of CBD vary significantly, depending on several parameters involving the pharmacokinetics of the active substance. These include the method of administration, individual-specific factors (gender, age, weight, etc.), and psychophysical characteristics of the individual.

How long does CBD stay in the human body?

The technical parameter indicating the duration or 'presence' of a substance in our body is called the half-life, which is the time required to reduce the substance's plasma concentration by 50%. Current research on CBD reports a half-life of 27-35 hours for inhalation and 2-5 days for oral administration.

How long does it take for CBD to take effect?

As documented in current literature, the fastest effect is achieved through inhalation (5-10 minutes), while with oral administration, there is an increase in CBD plasma concentration after about 1 hour (likely onset of CBD effects), reaching its peak around 3 hours. Subsequently, elimination via feces and urine begins. In a research study, the peak of CBD in urine after oral administration of >150mg was recorded after 6 hours. Therefore, it can be inferred that CBD effects last at least 6 hours.
