Although we cannot refer to it as an industry, cannabis has been around for a long time. Used mainly for ritualistic events as well as to relax and feel at ease, it is known to many cultures across the globe. This is also the point where it became known to the travellers from Europe that sailed off to places like South America and Asia. They brought the product back to Europe, and new markets were born. Nowadays, the cannabis market is vast and spans lots of countries. Although it is still illegal in many countries, some products are allowed. A good example of this is the oil type CBD, which is marketed by companies like Cibdol and is helpful in a broad range of use cases.
What makes CBD stand out from other products?
Traditional cannabis products focus mainly on the flowers of the plant. These are dried and then smoked, often in combination with tobacco. This is not necessarily the healthiest consumption method of cannabis. Next to the presence of tar, you also have the substance THC present. This influences your behavior, giving you the feeling of being ‘high’.
Why people use cannabis
To understand why this is unfavourable, it makes sense to dive into the use cases for people to use such a product. There are many reasons, such as:
● Anxiety
● Restlessness
● ADHD
● Focus
● Chronic diseases
● Cancer treatments
What do all these people not prefer: a psychoactive effect. This is where CBD has made a difference. The oil type product is made from the complete plant in a sophisticated production process using a CO2 extraction. By adding CO2 to the plant, the oil is automatically extracted without any additives being used. Next to that, the substance THC is not present in this oil, making it a safe product to consume daily. People can experiment with a dose that works for them. Starting from a low concentration, they can top it up to match the needs for their specific use case(s).
CBD’s little brother hemp oil is also gaining ground
Hemp oil is another product that has entered the global stage not that long ago. It covers another range of use cases, although there is also some overlap with CBD oil. When looking at the production process, there are major differences to be observed. Hemp oil is made by pressing the seeds of the hemp plant, whereas CBD requires a full-grown plant. This means that hemp is even more friendly to the environment. Pressing seeds is also a healthy production process, which can be compared to the production of olive oil.
Consuming the oils
The oil product is available in small bottles that allow you to add it to your food and drinks. Many users share their recipes with the online community, which are worth exploring. If you want to use it consistently, it is recommended to move forward with capsules. These allow you to regulate your intake and improve the oil’s effectiveness.
