CBD is the abbreviation of cannabidiol for cannabidiol in cannabis plants as well as medical cannabis. Unlike medical marijuana, including THC, CBD does not cause a “high” feeling. According to the World Health Organization, CBD showed no effect of abuse or dependence. Given that there is no evidence of health problems associated with CBD use, it is often an alternative method for a variety of diseases associated with physical, emotional and mental pain.

Is CBD healthy? What can be used?

It is difficult to say clearly whether CBD is “healthy”. There is still a lot of research to understand its “health” and effectiveness. However, it can be used in a variety of diseases. The most common reason we see patients using CBD is to have a quieter sleep and reduce their physical, emotional and mental chronic pain. This includes diseases and diseases such as: migraine, epilepsy, autoimmune diseases, inflammation associated with chronic pain, depression and anxiety.

In my personal experience, 60-70% of patients using CBD have improved their quality of life. About 30-40% of other patients do not see much, or benefit from using CBD. However, I recommend testing the dose of CBD to see if it can make a difference. When you first start, start with a smaller dose; otherwise, you can pay a lot of money for products that don’t necessarily fit you.

CBD also comes in a variety of dosage forms including: topical, sublingual drops, capsules, foods and adhesives. For chronic body pain, local areas may be an effective remedy that can be placed in areas of the body to make you feel pain. They can also do a good job of reducing inflammation in the area, which will cause your pain relief.

What dosage is suitable for taking?

CBD products can have a wide dosage range. In some cases, the dose can range from 1 mg per day to hundreds of mg per day. However, when choosing the right amount for you, you may want to consider certain factors; such as: your weight, the status of CBD used, the concentration of CBD in the product, and the chemistry of your body.

Start with a small amount and then gradually increase the dose every week. When using CBD, tracking your symptoms (if any) may also help. This way, you can see any physiological changes in each dose, whether positive or negative, and understand what is best for you. Most products will have a clear understanding of the dosage of each gummy, oil, drops, etc.
It is worth noting that even if you take a higher dose, you may be able to tolerate it. Studies have shown that long-term daily life even 1500 mg per day will not have any adverse effects on humans. However, a study conducted in mice did show that high doses of CBD over a prolonged period may lead to liver damage. The best option is to consult your doctor before taking large doses of CBD, especially when taking other medications.

Does CBD have to be used for a long time, or is it used immediately?

Most patients who start taking CBD will see results soon. Although some studies have shown that CBD takes up to one week to be effective, especially in oral dosage forms. For sleep, most of the CBD options we assign will see them working quickly, as well as local conditions for acute pain.

It is important to note that for patients with chronic body pain, inflammation, migraine, they may have to wait longer to see lasting results, especially when taking oral dosage forms. They may also have to adjust the dose to see which dosage is best for them.

What are the risks of using CBD for a long time?

There is still a lot of research on CBD. This means we may not understand all potential risks. It is usually well tolerated, but may have some side effects. You may experience dry mouth, diarrhea, loss of appetite, lethargy and fatigue. If you are taking any other medications, such as a blood thinner, you may need to contact your doctor or pharmacist before taking CBD.

Some studies have shown that CBD may have a negative impact on the liver. It can also affect male fertility, especially reducing male sperm count. There are not many studies supporting these findings. But these are things to be paid attention to. The best way to combat these effects is to consult your doctor before using any CBD product.

You also want to be careful where you buy CBD products. CBD is highly unregulated. It is best to buy CBD products from a pharmacy or at least a well-known manufacturer. We have seen patients pick up CBD products from less trusted suppliers and have had problems with drug testing.

What is the future of CBD in the medical community?

In recent years, CBD has gained a lot of appeal in the medical community in some regions. Personally, this is the most commonly accepted by patients with chronic pain, and I have seen the effect of these patients. Most importantly, when you start taking CBD, your expectations are reasonable. For some patients, they get life-changing results, while for others, they simply don’t see the quality of life.

The more studies were conducted on CBD, the more patients reported that they could see the overall benefits, the more they would accept. Interest in CBD and CBD products has certainly increased, and I don’t expect it to slow down. How will the medical community normalize and prescribe CBD only in time can explain.
