What is CBD? A Beginner’s Guide from Cornwall Based Dispensaries
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the most talked-about wellness products in the UK today. At Cornwall Based Dispensaries, we aim to demystify CBD and help you find the right product for your needs. Whether you’re completely new to CBD or just curious about how it works, this guide has everything you need to get started.
What Exactly Is CBD?
CBD is a natural compound extracted from the hemp plant. It’s one of over 100 cannabinoids found in cannabis, but unlike its cousin THC, CBD is non-intoxicating. This means it won’t make you feel “high.” Instead, CBD has gained attention for its potential to support overall wellness and balance in the body.
Understanding How It Works
CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors and chemicals in your body that helps regulate sleep, mood, appetite, and immune response. While research into CBD is ongoing, it’s thought to support the ECS in maintaining balance, or homeostasis, which may contribute to feelings of relaxation and wellbeing.
At Cornwall Based Dispensaries, we stock a range of FSA-compliant CBD products that are designed to complement your lifestyle and support your goals.
Popular CBD Products in the UK
Not all CBD products are created equal. Understanding the options can help you make an informed choice:
- CBD Oils and Tinctures:
These are the most versatile CBD products. Place a few drops under your tongue and hold for 30-60 seconds for quicker absorption. - CBD Capsules:
Ideal for those who want a consistent daily dose, capsules are easy to incorporate into your routine. - CBD Edibles:
From gummies to chocolates, edibles are a fun and discreet way to take CBD. Keep in mind that they take longer to work due to digestion. - CBD Topicals:
Balms, creams, and lotions infused with CBD are applied directly to the skin for targeted effects. These are especially popular for addressing localised discomfort.
All our products undergo third-party lab testing, ensuring they comply with UK regulations and meet the highest quality standards.
Is CBD Legal in the UK?
Yes, CBD is legal in the UK as long as it meets specific criteria. Products must be derived from EU-approved hemp and contain less than 1mg of THC per container. Ingestible CBD products must also be FSA-registered to comply with Novel Foods regulations.
At Cornwall Based Dispensaries, we only sell products that meet these stringent guidelines. You can shop with confidence knowing our products are safe, legal, and effective.
