Will I Get High from CBD?

When we think of the cannabis or hemp plant, we all nudge the person next to us and give the same look of knowing — that wide grin of knowing about THC! THC is the compound is cannabis that is responsible for the euphoric or high feeling — it’s the psychoactive constituent. 

CBD, on the other hand, is the compound that is non-psychoactive meaning it does not get you high!

CBD has a breadth of benefits that many are finding supportive to a host of health concerns such as sleep issues, anxiety, chronic and acute pain, etc. The wonderful thing about CBD is that it helps promote calmness and relaxation, all the while on a clear and focused mind.   

Both the cannabis and hemp plants contain a plethora of cannabinoids that support our bodies, leaving only THC that is actually intoxicating. 

To clarify and reiterate, no, you will not get high from CBD! 

So, what does taking CBD feel like? After all, if it doesn’t get you high, then what’s going to happen? This is a very valid question! 

CBD binds to different receptor sites in our endocannabinoid system (ECS) than THC and supports a myriad of health concerns. 

Depending on what method of delivery your CBD product is, you typically don’t feel anything out of the ordinary. You may feel things such as:

• Calmness
• Relaxed
• Relieved
• Comfortable

CBD is an optimal way to support your body and promote wellness all while not producing any psychoactive effects.
