How Do CBD Products Make You Feel? Understanding the Effects of CBD
You may have heard about the potential benefits of using cannabidiol (CBD) as part of your daily routine. But one of the most common questions we get from customers of our Organic Broad-Spectrum *THC-Free certified CBD products is, “What will it feel like when I take it?”
We’re here to dispel any myths about how cannabidiol feels and explain some helpful tips for your CBD journey.
Does CBD Feel the Same for Everyone?
CBD doesn’t feel the same for every person. You might experience powerful effects while a friend feels only a subtle change or vice versa. Because of that, CBD isn’t the solution for everyone - and after exploring, you might possibly find that it’s not for you.
What’s most important is knowing that the results will depend on your body’s chemistry, when you take it, and the regularity with which you take it.
Your Unique Internal System
Everybody is different, and every body is different. That is especially true for the endocannabinoid system (ECS) - the biological system with which CBD interacts.
Because your body’s chemistry is unique, CBD will affect you in a unique way. That’s why it’s essential to experiment with CBD with your doctor’s guidance, so you can find a serving size and product that works for you, not someone else.
Time of Day Makes a Difference
Depending on the time of day, CBD may affect you differently. Taking it during the day may give you more focus and productivity, while taking it at night may improve relaxation and sleep.
The best way to understand CBD’s effects is to explore taking it at different times. It might work better for you in the morning to get a jump start on your day, or you might experience enhanced effects when taking it at night.
Using CBD Routinely
Most people find that CBD works best when they use it at the same time every day. Using CBD regularly is more effective than taking it as needed or once in a blue moon.
Because of that, if you take CBD regularly, you will likely notice fuller effects. Again, exploring your individualized CBD routine is the best way to understand its impact on your body and mind.
So, now that you know what will influence the effects of CBD, what does it actually feel like?
The CBD compound itself is non-intoxicating. It comes in three forms: CBD Isolate, Broad-Spectrum CBD, and Full-Spectrum CBD. Because there is a small amount of the intoxicating THC compound in Full-Spectrum (less than 0.3%), there’s a very slight chance of psychoactive effects. However, Broad-Spectrum CBD products and CBD Isolate products are *THC-Free, so they are non-intoxicating.
People who take CBD tend to notice both physical and mental effects, varying in degrees of intensity.
CBD’s Physical Sensations
Those who use CBD for its physical effects notice a myriad of results. It may soothe sore muscles and aid in the body’s relaxation. Some people find it supports a healthy sleep cycle or attends to other needs.
CBD’s Mental Effects
After using CBD, people often feel mental effects like improved relaxation or increased sense of calm. When taken regularly before bed, you may also enjoy fuller sleep from enhanced relaxation. Alternatively, using it during the day may have different, even opposite effects.
