Are you interested in the medical aspects of using cannabis but are hesitant about feeling “high”? If so, then don’t worry, you’ve come to the right place. At CannaLeaf Health, we’ve helped a lot of people manage their pain with cannabis, and not all of them have wanted the “high” feeling. If you don’t want to get high, you want CBD, which is what we wanted to talk about today.
Psychoactive Components
Both CBD and THC have psychoactive properties, but they are very different. The psychoactive components in THC are what give people the “high” feeling CBD doesn’t have these same components. Instead, CBD provides much more subtle mental benefits, helping with anxiety, psychosis, depression, and other mental disorders.
What Can CBD Help With?
In addition to the psychoactive mental benefits we just outlined, there are a litany of physical problems CBD can help with:
- Inflammation
- Pain
- Migraine
- Nausea
- Inflammatory bowel disease
- Aches
Side Effects of CBD
Just like with most things you take as medication, CBD can have some side effects. All the side effects from CBD come from its psychoactive components. Common CBD side effects include:
- Diarrhea
- Appetite changes
- Dizziness
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
If you’re using CBD and are experiencing side effects, you should consult with your medical marijuana prescriber, as well as your personal physician.
