Cannabidiol, known as CBD, is a cannabinoid. It is found in cannabis (or hemp) and is one of its main active ingredients.
Currently growing in popularity around the world, CBD is available in significant quantities thanks to hemp grown in Europe, and its many benefits make it a particularly promising product.
What is CBD?
Known as a phytocannabinoid, CBD is extracted from the hemp plant, which is widely cultivated in Europe.
Unlike its cousin THC, CBD has no psychotropic effects: on the contrary, numerous studies agree that CBD is ideal for relieving a number of ailments and promoting a sense of relaxation, without altering the user’s state of consciousness!
The Origins of CBD
Hemp is most likely one of the oldest plants used by humans: in fact, evidence of its use dates back to 4000 BC and can be found throughout the various periods of human history!
The reason hemp has been so highly valued for millennia is that this hardy plant is very easy to grow. It requires no external chemicals (such as fertilizers or pesticides) and needs very little water to survive.
How does it work?
Specifically, CBD stimulates the endocannabinoid system (a network of receptors found throughout the body). In this way, it helps regulate certain key factors, such as appetite, sleep, stress, and so on. Without directly affecting our receptors, it stimulates the production of endocannabinoids, which are naturally produced by our bodies.
The Effects of CBD
CBD is primarily a prescription-only medication. It is prescribed, in particular, for cases of multiple sclerosis and refractory childhood epilepsy.
But today,High Society CBD is also available over the counter at specialty stores. It can be purchased in various forms: oils, CBD flowers, creams, CBD e-liquids, and more…
Some examples of ways to take CBD
There are many ways to take CBD: it can be used in the form of flowers, extracts, creams, oil, and more…
CBD oil, for example, is usually available in a dropper bottle. Simply place the desired number of drops under your tongue and wait about a minute before swallowing it all with a glass of water. It will then be absorbed through the mucous membranes, which will help it take effect within the next 30 minutes!
Is it legal for me to use CBD?
The use of CBD is completely legal in France and throughout Europe, provided that the products in question have a THC content of no more than 0.0%. This is, of course, the case for all the products you’ll find in our High Society store; furthermore, it’s important to note that our entire product line is made from organic European hemp.
