CBD is derived from cannabis and used in many types of health and wellness products today. Intoxication associated with CBD has been attributed to a specific cannabinoid-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is the phyto-cannabinoid that has psychoactive effects. CBD must be extracted from industrial hemp (low in THC) for it to be legal. Cannabinoida® suppositories are manufactured using plant extracts of industrial hemp with low THC. The THC content of Cannabinoida hemp extract is less than 0.3%
CBD works by interacting with a vast naturally occurring network of receptors in the body, called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). It works to maintain a healthy balance and keep many of your physical processes moving in the right direction. This system exists in all mammals, reptiles, and some invertebrates. This human ECS is responsible for regulating essential daily functions linked to the immune system and nervous system. Some of these functions include bone density, appetite, mood, energy levels, digestion, reproduction, and others.
CBD is non-psychoactive and well-tolerated in the body. A significant amount of research and studies have shown this. The World Health Organization (WHO) has reported that CBD is non-intoxicating and safe even at high doses. A few patients have reported minor side effects such as headaches and dizziness when they start using CBD however they have been known to resolve within a short period of time
CBD is legal in the Zimbabwe, UK, many EU countries, the US and Canada. The question of legality only comes into the picture when the CBD-based product contains THC, which is widely considered as a controlled substance. Legal CBD products must contain low levels of THC to be legal, the plant extract used to make the product should be extracted from hemp containing limits of 0.3% (ZIM) 0.3% (US) 0.2% (UK) of THC. Anything above that concentration is illegal
