Alright, let’s talk CBD - what it is, why people swear by it, and how you can find the right product for your vibe. If you’re here, you’re already ahead of the game. We’re Preston Herb Co, your friendly neighborhood cannabis crew, growing premium, local herb straight out of Oregon since 2018. Whether you’re new to CBD or looking to level up your wellness game, we got you.
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the chillest compounds in the cannabis plant. It’s all about relaxation without the high. Unlike THC, CBD won’t leave you staring at the ceiling wondering if time is real. Instead, it works with your body’s natural systems to promote balance and good vibes.
People have been using hemp for centuries, and modern science is just catching up. The 2018 Farm Bill made hemp-derived CBD federally legal in the U.S. (as long as it has less than 0.3% THC). Since then, it’s been popping up everywhere from oils and edibles to topicals and supplements.
Think of THC as the wild party friend and CBD as the mellow, grounding one. THC gets you high. CBD chills you out, eases stress, and supports overall wellness without messing with your head. Both come from the same plant, but they work in different ways.
The Many Forms of CBD (And How to Choose Yours)
Here’s a breakdown of what’s out there so you can find what works for you.
The OG of CBD products. Drop it under your tongue for quick absorption, or mix it into your drink if you’re feeling fancy. Full-spectrum oils (like the ones we make) contain all the good stuff from the cannabis plant, which means better results.
Tasty, easy, and discreet. Gummies take a little longer to kick in (because they go through digestion first), but when they do, the effects last longer. Plus, no weird aftertaste, just straight-up deliciousness.
For when your muscles are screaming at you after leg day. Rub CBD-infused balms or lotions right where you need them, and let the magic happen. Great for soreness, dry skin, and general self-care vibes.
If you’re into a simple routine, capsules are the way to go. Pop one in the morning and get on with your day no measuring, no guesswork.
Why People Love CBD
CBD isn’t just hype. Science (and a whole lot of happy users) backs it up. Here’s why people keep coming back for more:
CBD works with your brain’s serotonin receptors to help you stay calm. Whether you need to take the edge off social situations or just chill after a long day, CBD’s got your back.
Tossing and turning all night? CBD might help regulate your sleep cycle, so you wake up feeling refreshed instead of groggy. A little CBD oil before bed could be the difference between counting sheep and actually catching some Z’s.
From post-workout soreness to chronic pain, CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties can help take the sting out. Topicals are great for targeting specific areas, while oils and edibles work from the inside out.
CBD is legit enough that the FDA approved a prescription version for epilepsy. It’s been shown to help with certain types of seizures, making a huge difference in the lives of those who need it.
Is CBD Safe? Here’s What You Should Know
CBD is generally well-tolerated, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
Some people experience dry mouth, drowsiness, or an upset stomach. Nothing major, but it’s good to start slow and see how your body reacts.
There isn’t enough research on CBD use during pregnancy, so best to hold off. For kids, always consult a doctor first especially if using CBD for medical conditions.
CBD can affect how certain meds work, especially ones that rely on your liver for processing. If you’re on prescription meds, check in with your doctor before adding CBD to your routine.
How Much CBD Should You Take?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer here. Start low and go slow. Here’s a general guide:
Factors like body weight, metabolism, and what you’re using CBD for all play a role. The best way to find your sweet spot? Listen to your body and adjust as you go.
Picking Quality CBD: What to Look For
Here’s how to make sure you’re getting the good stuff:
If a company doesn’t test its products, run. Lab reports (aka Certificates of Analysis) confirm that what’s on the label is actually in the product, no nasty surprises.
Check the ingredients. High-quality CBD should be straightforward, no weird fillers or additives.
Is CBD Legal?
Yes - mostly. In the U.S., hemp-derived CBD with less than 0.3% THC is federally legal. But some states have their own rules, so it’s always good to double-check local laws.
The FDA keeps an eye on CBD but doesn’t regulate supplements the way they do medications. That’s why buying from trusted sources (like us) is key.
