CBD Effects FAQ

These statements have not been reviewed for accuracy by the FDA. We assert these statements are true to the extent known by the writers of this website.

Will CBD Make Me Feel High?

Most people do not feel any immediate effects from taking CBD, must less feel an actual “high” such as what is universally associated with smoking cannabis. Most people simply feel no different for the first several days. In our experience there have been an exceedingly small number of people whose initial experience using CBD has been somewhere between “Maybe I felt something” and “I felt somewhat light-headed”. This sensation has passed in just a couple of days for everyone who has given us personal reports. For this reason, we advise that you don't operate heavy machinery until you know exactly how CBD affects you, personally.

What's the Worst Thing that Could Happen?

The great news is that we have yet to see a case reported where CBD caused death or disability. That is a better record than aspirin. Below are the side effects we have seen published in medical journals or reported in the media. Always consult with a medical professional before, during, and after taking Cannabidiol. Consult your doctor if you have any history of liver damage.

We Are Not Allowed to Tell You that CBD is Awesome

The FDA has approved one CBD product for the treatment of seizures associated with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and with Dravat Syndrome. Other than that, CBD is officially good for nothing.

The censorship around CBD is staggering. This writer has three personal stories about the medical industry. My general practitioner, when asked her thoughts on CBD said, “I'm not allowed to tell you how awesome CBD is.” The oncologist of a family member was asked about CBD and said, “We were sent a memo telling us not to discuss CBD with patients, but I don't care. I think it is great stuff.” Finally, when I suggested a topical CBD rub to a family member who is an RN, she told me her employer had sent their staff an email instructing them that using CBD in any form was a violation of their employment contract and could result in termination.

Please consult your physician about using CBD, but don't be surprised if they cannot give you information.
