What is CBD?

At Elevated Vaping we often get questions about the hottest wellness discovery of recent years: CBD. Maybe you’ve seen it advertised at a local smoke shop or even seen it in the prescription drug aisle. Regardless, you’ve likely had CBD pop up in your day-to-day life at least once. While CBD is a great way to relax and relieve, there are some misconceptions about CBD and what CBD is used for. With research, people are learning more ways CBD can be used. and it's safe to say the future of CBD has never looked brighter. That’s why we’re here to tell you what CBD is used for and why everyone’s been talking about it lately.

First of All, What’s CBD?

CBD, officially known as cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis flower Cannabinoid Sativa. You’ve most likely heard of CBD’s distant cousin, tetrahydrocannabinol, or more commonly recognized as THC. Both chemicals are found in cannabis plants but are extracted differently, causing CBD to have a few major differences to its Dazed and Confused cousin THC.

• Non-Addictive: While cannabis users may run the risk of becoming addicted to repetitive use, CBD users do not need to worry about addiction. In the same way, you’ll never be addicted to a B-12 vitamin, you can’t become addicted to CBD.
• Non-Intoxicating: When consuming CBD, users claim to experience effects similar to that of THC, with the exception of THC’s hallucinogenic properties. CBD cannot be used for getting high but it does have many physical effects that could provide users with some much-needed relief without finding themselves at the convenience store with munchies at midnight.

What is CBD Used For?

So why is everyone raving about CBD lately? It's partially due to the multiple ways it can be used, which have only grown since scientists have learned more about CBD’s effects. With recent studies, CBD has been used to treat many of the same medical conditions that THC has proven to help with, with the added benefit of not impairing the user in any way that could cause them to be unable to drive a car or fail a drug test. Scientists are researching some of the medical conditions CBD could be used to treat, and they include:

• Childhood Epilepsy
• Insomnia
• PTSD
• Chronic Pain
• Anxiety

How Do I Use It?

CBD can be ingested in numerous ways, the most common being oral (oils, tablets or gummies) or smoked as a vapor. For past smokers that enjoy vaping, CBD can be used for creating that familiar smoking sensation if the user chooses to vape CBD. The list of ways CBD can be enjoyed is creatively expanding, with certain restaurants and coffee shops even offering CBD oil shots to be added to favorite beverages. At Elevated Vaping alone, we offer multiple CBD products to test out for interested consumers, including:

• CBD Oil
• CBD Topicals
• CBD Gummies
• CBD Pet Treats
• CBD Vape Pens
• CBD Gel Capsules

What’s All the Hype?

CBD can easily be seen as the best of both worlds situation between wanting to feel the effects of cannabis use while also potentially helping with health complications. A huge reason CBD has landed on consumer’s radars is it's a natural supplement that could help with varying goals. If you're a cannabis user looking to minimize your consumption, CBD is an alternative that provides similar physical benefits of cannabis without getting that signature “stoned” sensation.

If you have certain issues, CBD is used for providing an avenue toward the potential alleviation of symptoms. We’re learning more and more about CBD every day, with additional health benefits potentially showing up down the line with more research. It wouldn’t be flooding the market in the way it has if the hype wasn’t worth it, which is why Elevated Vaping offers authentic CBD products at a good price point for interested folks to try at any time.
