Surely you have seen very “green” and “peculiar” stores springing up in some corners of your city and heard the words CBD or legal weed both in the newspapers and on the web.

 

But what do we mean when we talk about CBD weed, light cannabis or legal marijuana? First of all, you should know that CBD, or cannabidiol, is a substance already naturally occurring within cannabis plants and, unlike its “counterpart” THC, has no psychoactive effects on the mind and perception of the user.

 

If anything, the only noteworthy effect, in addition to the unmistakable aroma typical of such products, is a pleasant feeling of relaxation that starts from the muscles of the body reaching the mind taking care, however, that the latter is always lucid and never “clouded.”

 

But how is such an effect possible? In truth, the answer is really simple, in CBD products the percentage of THC (i.e., tetrahydrocannabinol) is really low or bordering on nonexistent. In this way there will be no alterations in consciousness, giggling or other effects already well known in the news.

 

Speaking of numbers, to simplify it further, you must remember that light cannabis, or legal weed or whatever you prefer to call it, is such precisely because the percentage of THC never exceeds 0.5 percent. This way you can say goodbye to both psychotropic effects and possible problems with the law.

 

Since it can be sold and consumed in relative freedom, somewhat like many other far more harmful products such as alcohol or tobacco, if law enforcement should check you in your car or on foot you need not worry.

 

Exhibit the original packaging with attached receipt to prove not only the regularity of the purchase but also its safety. Besides, have you ever seen a drug dealer issue an invoice? Jokes aside now let’s get serious again!

 

Light cannabis, then, presents itself as an all-natural and safe remedy for those suffering from vomiting, stress, depression, states of anxiety, lack of appetite, migraine headaches, involuntary muscle spasms, various aches and pains, and even difficulty getting to sleep. In short, we could almost say that it is a completely legal panacea for so many ills, but let us be careful.

 

There are in fact categories of users toward whom we feel we would advise against the use of CBD products. In the first place, of course, are pregnant women or during the lactation period, people with low blood pressure and with those who are taking antidepressants or antibiotics at the same time because, in that case, the relaxing effect would be diminished.

 

So, if you really want to be sure, you have two options available to you before you start consuming CBD products:

• consult with your primary care physician first
• Read the product label carefully and calibrate your purchase according to your desired effects

 

All in all, it was not that difficult, don’t you think so too? Once this has been said, there is nothing left for us to do but wish everyone a good relaxation!
