8 Most Common Questions About CBD
- Despite CBD being an excellent, versatile therapeutic substance for which new uses are found almost daily, there are still many recurring questions and inquiries about this cannabinoid
The use of CBD is becoming widely known as a healthier alternative to common pharmaceuticals, steroid creams, or various medications typically available in pharmacies. For those who are not entirely clear why so many people choose CBD over commonly offered medications, we will attempt to answer the most frequent questions about this versatile and effective cannabinoid.
1. What exactly is CBD?
CBD or cannabidiol, is one of approximately one hundred cannabinoids, active substances found in medicinal hemp. CBD acts neuroprotectively, anti-inflammatorily, and analgesically like the much more well-known THC, but unlike THC, it does not affect motor skills and can be said to act non-psychoactively. However, the non-psychoactive effect of CBD remains debatable. (More in the article "4 Myths about CBD")
2. What are the uses of CBD?
CBD can be used as a treatment for a wide range of diseases and conditions, such as epilepsy, joint pain, nerve pain, wound healing acceleration, skin problems, inflammation, muscle pain, and many others.
CBD also improves blood circulation quality and supports cell regeneration, making it a candidate for helping with numerous diseases. Moreover, CBD's abilities extend to improving mental disorders such as severe depression and anxiety, especially due to its antioxidant effect.
3. Is CBD legal?
Yes, CBD is completely legal here and you can confidently order it from our online shop. You can choose from Phoenix drops in various flavors, capsules filled with CBD extract, or special CBDa extract.
4. Will CBD show up on a drug test?
If you use only products containing pure CBD that are free of THC, you do not need to worry about a positive test for "marijuana" metabolites.
Generally, if you are not taking extremely large CBD doses, there should be no problem. When taking high doses, in certain cases, CBD can transform into THC in the body, making the test positive, but this is literally a rarity.

5. In what forms can CBD be used?
CBD is currently most commonly used in oil form, especially due to the effort to achieve the highest potency. Moreover, oils can be mixed with other beneficial herbs, so the therapeutic effect of the oil can be further enhanced. Oils can also be used in various ways, whether through the skin, dropped under the tongue, or simply into a hot tea.
Sales of CBD-containing ointments are currently on the rise worldwide.
6. Do CBD products also contain THC?
Yes, some CBD-containing products may also contain THC. Such products are especially available in countries where cannabis is already legal for medical and recreational use. Here, you can currently purchase oils and extracts containing only pure, natural CBD.
However, some studies point to the importance of the so-called cannabinoid chain effect. This means that in some conditions, therapeutic cannabinoids work best together, in the entire spectrum. (More in the article "Synergy of Medicinal Cannabis Substances")
7. How to use CBD?
As we mentioned, CBD can be applied topically through the skin, through the digestive tract, or even by inhalation using special vaporizers. If a relaxing, calming, or anti-stress effect is required, CBD is usually added to foods, smoothies, teas, or simply dropped under the tongue, where it dissolves within seconds.
8. Is it possible to purchase CBD online?
Of course, as we mentioned, quality plant-based CBD extracts can be legally purchased from our online shop.
