CBD gummies are edible candies that contain cannabidiol (CBD), either as an isolate, the purest form, or along with other cannabinoids from a broad-spectrum, THC-free extract.
CBD gummies come in a rainbow of flavors, colors, shapes, and concentrations of CBD. The gummies offer a discreet and easy way to ingest CBD, and the many manufacturers that have recently come onto the market are more of a sign that their popularity has skyrocketed among consumers.
But as most CBD-based products today are not regulated, it is important to turn to brands whose know-how and competence are recognized, at the risk of not really knowing what is in them. your sweets.
Do CBD gummies have any health benefits?
CBD is used today for different reasons. The vast field of application is due to the action of the molecule on the human body: cannabidiol acts on the endocannabinoid system which regulates all of our vital functions and maintains their balance.
CBD does not act on everyone, and not always effectively, but helps maintain good health and daily well-being. Among the actions noted, CBD is often presented as being able to relieve anxiety, depression, pain, inflammation and improve sleep.
CBD is used medically for serious pathologies ranging from cancer to epilepsy, including multiple sclerosis or fibromylagia. It is then prescribed via a prescription and subject to medical supervision, and not delivered in a CBD shop or on an online site, but rather in a medicinal form.
It will therefore be necessary to look in the effects of CBD gummies for relief from small everyday ailments rather than a miraculous cure for a serious illness.
Health issue, you should also know that CBD extracts can have a rather bitter taste. Some brands use large amounts of added sugar to mask this taste. Be careful to read the compositions carefully!
Are CBD gummies legal?
Hemp-derived CBD products that contain less than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are legal in France.
CBD gummies also don’t have mind-altering properties, so they won’t get you high. They are on the other hand very psychoactive, like coffee, and do not contain THC, prohibited in the diet above tiny traces.
There is therefore no risk of traveling with it in France or Europe. Only countries that still ban CBD can be a problem.
How to eat CBD gummies?
CBD gummies are a tasty way to get your dose of CBD. They may also be easier to consume in public than other products.
That’s why many people like to take them to work, on trips, or anywhere outside the home. Taking a gum or two before a stressful event can, for example, help keep you calm.
Remember, however, that when you eat your CBD, it takes longer to find its way into your bloodstream than if you use an oil. If you want it to kick in at a specific time, give yourself at least an hour to fully absorb it.
If you are new to consuming CBD, start slowly, even if the products are delicious. You can always add more if needed!
