CBD Oils and Cartridges

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is a non-psychoactive agent found in the cannabis plant. CBD will not produce a “high” like THC (THC is the main psychoactive component in cannabis), but CBD does interact with the endocannabinoid system. This is a system of receptors and hormones responsible for maintaining homeostasis. This makes CBD an ideal candidate for those looking to reap the therapeutic effects of cannabis without inhibiting the high.

As we mentioned before, CBD does not get you high, though it does react with your endocannabinoid system. Because this system is responsible for regulating your body, those who enjoy CBD may experience a lightness or ease of functioning, with associated feelings of overall relaxation. When taken in high dosages, some may report a fuzzy feeling. The sensation is most commonly equated with the feeling of being on “autopilot,” but mental clarity is not impacted by CBD.

CBD concentrates are one of the newest and most exciting ranges of cannabis products to hit the marketplace in the past few years. A CBD concentrate is a distilled substance containing potent levels of the most desirable parts of the plant. These products contain all of the cannabidiol goodness of the cannabis flower with none of the excess plant material.

Extraction processes used to create a concentrate are designed to strip the trichomes from the plant material. These trichomes contain the active agents of the plant: cannabinoids and terpenes.

Those who experience bodily aches and pains may gravitate towards CBD for its ability to impact the endocannabinoid system (ECS) (the series of receptors spread throughout the body responsible for homeostasis). Research is ongoing, but CBD works within the body to block or inhibit the inflammatory process and to promote regulatory functioning. Damaged tissues throughout the body (or in a localized area if applied topically) may recover faster with the aid of CBD.

Although everyone has their unique health requirements and experiences with implementing CBD as a tool for mitigating discomfort associated with pain, when vaped or dabbed, many experience fast or immediate relief from the concentrate.

Those who implement CBD into their existing wellness routines may experience the following benefits to their health:

• Pain alleviation and inflammation reduction
• Supports mental health & wellbeing
• Contributes to healthier skin
• Aids in digestive functioning
• Supports reproductive health
• Promotes healthy hormone regulation

CBD begins to take effect within 45 minutes of ingestion. Results may vary based on the application or ingestion method. The quickest and most efficient way to feel the benefits of CBD is through vaping or dabbing. CBD concentrates are great for this, as they are incredibly potent and compatible with vape pens and dab rigs. CBD can be active within the system anywhere from 4 to 6 hours. Some more potent CBD-infused edibles can last for anywhere from 8 to 12 hours. Overall, the duration of CBD varies upon how you choose to consume or apply it.

CBD is legal to purchase at the age of 18 in the state of Florida, so long as the product contains less than 0.3% THC content. The Nature’s Greenhouse will require identification to verify your age upon purchase.

Due to the removal of hemp products, including CBD, from the controlled substance list by the Federal Government in the 2018 Farm Bill, you do not need a prescription to purchase CBD, as long as the product contains less than 0.3% THC content. A Medical Marijuana license is required by Florida State Law to purchase CBD products only if THC content is higher than 0.3%.
