Are you dealing with unimaginable pain? Or perhaps you’re watching a loved one suffer from anxiety, depression, or trauma? These things can bring your life to a grinding halt—I know because I’ve been there.
After a series of life tragedies, I struggled to function or even get out of bed in the morning. Every breath and action felt like a monumental effort. Yet my sleep was restless because my mind wouldn’t stop.
Then one day, I started to feel well again. I was able to cope with my despair bit by bit, and then I could get up and begin to heal. The “vitamins” my husband had been giving me turned out to be CBD gummies. They gave me the strength to face my reality instead of masking my pain. Antidepressants fogged my brain, but CBD gave me clarity in thought to begin by journey to self-care.
As a nurse, anesthetist, and student of Western medicine, I was initially taught to be skeptical of CBD. But my husband opened my eyes to this alternative therapy, and now I stand by the therapeutic value it offers.
I dove headfirst into researching CBD benefits, effects, and usage. Eventually, I obtained my certification to work with CBD. I’m on a mission to create products that help people during their most intimate moments: When first waking up and just before sleeping. You’ll experience this with your soon-to-arrive trial box!
A crucial part of my mission is educating those new to CBD and its therapeutic benefits—and squashing the misconceptions. To begin, I’m introducing CBD, four common misconceptions about it, and my unique self-care kits.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the hundreds of cannabinoids, or cannabis compounds. Basically, it’s a substance found in the hemp and marijuana plants that interacts with our cannabinoid receptors.
So, why is this important? Cannabinoid receptors are part of our endocannabinoid system (ECS) and help regulate our mood, pain response, inflammation, appetite, and more. CBD promotes healthy responses to these areas, reducing stress, pain, inflammation, and more!
If you’re new to this world and a bit hesitant, I understand—I was once in a similar mindset! While the evidence of CBD benefits is growing, there are still many misconceptions out there. Let’s clear up a few common myths.
Nope! CBD is not the same as marijuana. The key here is understanding the difference between CBD vs. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the cannabinoid found in marijuana that produces its signature high.
Simply put, CBD does not have the same psychoactive effects as THC. However, CBD can improve your mood and mental state.
It also helps to clarify marijuana vs. hemp plants. Both are cannabis plants, but marijuana contains higher levels of THC, while legally grown hemp has 0.3% or less. That’s why legal CBD must come from hemp and contain 0.3% THC or less.
Bottom line: Because it either doesn’t contain THC (i.e., broad-spectrum) or contains only trace amounts (i.e., full-spectrum), CBD will not produce the high associated with marijuana. CBD alone will not cause a false positive drug test.
While higher doses of CBD could lead to drowsiness, it also depends on what type of CBD products you consume. For example, the Delta-8 Sleepytime Gummies in our nighttime self-care box help relax your mind and release anxiety before bedtime.
Overall, it depends on what effect you want. In the morning, low doses can help you manage the paralyzing pain, anxiety, and stress that have kept you stuck in bed. At night, higher doses combined with a bit of THC will help calm you for sleep.
Is CBD addictive? It’s fair to be concerned in this area when trying any new treatment. Fortunately, studies indicate that pure cannabidiol is not addictive. It’s believed this is because it does not have intoxicating effects, meaning you can enjoy CBD benefits without fear of dependency.
The World Health Organization stated in a 2017 Pre-Review Report that “evidence from well-controlled human experimental research indicates that CBD is not associated with abuse potential.” In fact, early research shows CBD may even help treat drug addiction.
CBD benefits appear to extend to mental and emotional health. The alternative drug has been shown to help manage sleep disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress.
