There are many misconceptions about CBD. Among the most common is
the idea that CBD is funny. But is it true? The answer is not so obvious.
Strictly speaking, CBD is no laughing matter. Isn't that clear? Don't worry,
Mama will explain it all to you.
CBD: a misunderstood plant
The reason this misconception is so popular is that CBD is often misunderstood by the
general public. Many people tend to confuse CBD with THC.
However, these are two radically different substances. First of all, CBD
is legal in Ireland and the European Union, provided it contains less than 0.3%
THC.
This specification clearly shows that THC and CBD are two different substances.
THC has psychoactive effects, meaning that it acts directly on the
receptors of the endocannabinoid system. As a result, it provokes
a vivid reaction that gets the user high. Taking THC can create a
dependency. This substance can be used to help treat certain disorders
(insomnia, nausea, spasms...) but this must be done under the supervision of a
health professional.
CBD, on the other hand, has no psychoactive effects. It has a well-being effect. That
means it relieves stress or pain, without giving the
sensation of "getting high". Nor is it addictive. That's why
it's often found in the composition of certain medicines.
That's also why it's legal at Ireland.
The real effects of CBD
As I've just explained, THC and CBD have very different effects on
the body. And this despite the fact that they are both cannabinoids derived from cannabis. I
invite you to discover the proven effects of CBD on the body, so that you can stop
confusing the two substances.
Available over the counter, CBD can :
● help combat insomnia;
● reduce stress and anxiety;
● relieve chronic pain;
● ease muscle spasms (involuntary contractions).
For the moment, there are no studies confirming these effects of
CBD. However, scientists recognize that CBD could act on
numerous biological targets in the body. These effects have also been confirmed by
user comments.
Mama always advises you to discuss your CBD intake with a
health professional. In some cases, CBD may interact with other treatments.
Sweeping away preconceived ideas for a better understanding
So where does this misconception come from? Most certainly from the fact that in
the collective unconscious CBD = drug. So it's a substance that gets you high, makes you euphoric and therefore tends to make you laugh. In reality, however, this is not the case.
CBD induces a state of well-being and relaxation, and has a mood-enhancing effect.
It can therefore make you happier, but you won't go into hysterical fits of madness
laughter like you see in some films or TV series
.
To put an end to this misconception, and for CBD to be recognized for its true value, it
is important to be well informed. That's why Mama has set up a blog
full of advice and information on CBD and its derivatives. An informed consumer
is an informed consumer!
The varieties most likely to make you laugh
As I said at the beginning of this article, the fact that CBD makes you laugh is not
entirely untrue. It influences mood and can therefore make you more relaxed and
cheerful. So you may even find a lambda situation funnier.
This is all the more true depending on the variety of CBD you consume. Here's a
round-up of the flowers that are most likely to make you laugh:
● Laughing Buddha;
● Purple Monkey Balls;
● Hindu Kush;
● Chemdawg;
● White Diesel.
