Cannabidiol AKA CBD is becoming more and more common to consume through food. Whether you're an experienced toker or someone who's never smoked but likes the idea of a weed pizza, you're in luck. Here are five fast facts about CBD food we want you to know about.
That's right! Contrary to popular belief, CBD doesn't get you high in the classical sense. It's the psychoactive THC compound in marijuana that gets you high. CBD, on the other hand, helps you and your body relax without sending you on a trip that you might not be ready for. We've found this is partly what attracts so many people to CBD food, as it's arguably the most accessible, low-stress way to benefit from all that cannabis has to offer.
Alongside being non-addictive, CBD has an amazing and diverse range of health benefits. While more data is continuing to come in about its capabilities, the often reported ailments aided by cannabis include:
CBD is completely safe, and as it becomes more socially acceptable with every passing year, even more research is being conducted to unlock its true potential. All these benefits, and to think... you can eat it in the form of a cupcake.
We all know what it's like to walk into a somebody's apartment complex and be immediately absorbed by that cannabis aroma. It certainly doesn't smell like daisies. With that being the case, it might surprise you to learn that CBD food can taste pretty delicious.
There is a growing number of awesome chefs who are creating new CBD-infused creations all the time. It doesn't hurt that CBD is relatively easy to work into various recipes (yes, even your grandma's brownie recipe). One of the best things about delving into the world of CBD food for us is getting to try all of its dishes, including pizza, cookies, gummies, and even cereal.
Would it be considered ironic to have something you eat actually be good for your digestive system? Either way, CBD is regularly used as a digestive aid to increase appetite and prevent nausea and vomiting. This is ideal for people who struggle with these symptoms, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or other cancer treatments.
While a few of the health benefits of CBD are yet to be concretely supported by mainstream science, CBD has been used as a trusted digestive aid for an incredibly long time. In this sense, dosing, or even micro-dosing with CBD can make a significant difference in your quality of lie.
As country after country and state after state legalize cannabis both medicinally and recreationally, CBD food is rising in popularity. People of all backgrounds are experiencing its undeniable benefits and going back for more.
In fact, The National Restaurant Association and the American Culinary Federation surveyed 650 professional chefs regarding the top trends in their industry for 2019. As it turns out, three in four chefs predicted that CBD would be a hot trend. Needless to say, they were right.
Unsure if consuming CBD is right for you? Don't be afraid to reach out to us with questions. As more and more people try and enjoy CBD infused food, the stigma is becoming less prevalent. CBD food is safe, non-addictive, non-psychoactive, has several health benefits, and can taste delicious. Bon appetit!
