CBD: Cannabidiol is Vapeo's new ally

We are going to be a little scientific, but it is necessary for us to understand the reason why CBD (Cannabidiol) is the great ally of vaping. For this we must understand what it is, how it works and what it does (or does not work).
Vaping Cannabidiol ...
The CBD comes in different presentations, topical, oil, edible and now can be found as additives such as our CBDfx additive ( click here ) or vape pens only designated for CBD, such as our disposable CBDfx vape pen ( click here ). Many users describe an almost instantaneous effect when they vapean CBD for the first time, since when inhaled, the CBD arrives faster to the sanguineous system, in comparison with which it must be digested. When vaping CBD (cannabidiol) it must be taken into account that there are several levels of concentration of CBD. We have vape pens of 30mg of CBD and the additives come from 60mg or 120mg (we can bring you up to 500mg if you request it through us for special cases).
Of course, we always recommend consulting your doctor before you start using CBD.
What is the CBD?
It is not an exaggeration to say that CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of the most promising compounds that currently undergo rigorous medical and scientific research. CBD has been in the news in recent years for some quite surprising results. Even so, disinformation and confusion about CBD abound because it is relatively new. Let's take a deep look at what cannabidiol (CBD) is, and exactly what it does, and it does not.
The CBD is simply the abbreviation of "cannabidiol", the second most abundant cannabinoid molecule produced by the Industrial Cannabis or Cannabis plant. The most abundant molecule, of course, is that of THC: the psychoactive chemical famous for making users feel "drugged" (The CBD does not have this effect). Keep in mind that your body already has an endocannabinoid system, an extremely important molecular system that your body uses to regulate and perform various critical functions. CBD joins recipients in this system; our bodies were designed to interact with cannabinoids from the beginning, we even produce them naturally!
How does the CBD work?
As we said before, your body already has a tremendously complex endocannabinoid system that affects several different areas and functions. That system is riddled with "receptors," sites that await the presence of cannabinoid molecules. When the cannabinoid approaches, the receptor will join itself, creating a sophisticated chemical interaction that modern science is just beginning to understand. Unlike its sister molecule THC, CBD does not make you feel "that everything is fine", but do not think that the lack of psychoactive or intoxicating effect means that nothing is happening. On the contrary, it is very clear that there are many chemical responses that occur when CBD binds to those cannabinoid receptors. Having said that, the endocannabinoid system is ubiquitous in the human body and affects in some way almost all major functions (especially homeostatic regulation). Because of this, it is a great task to discern everything that CBD does, exactly, when the union occurs. That's where the research process is at this moment: trying to solve that mystery.
What are the uses of the CBD?
Before discussing some uses of CBD oil, we must clear up an area of confusion: what exactly is CBD hemp oil? CBD hemp oil is simply the product of natural oil extracted from the hemp plant, a non-psychoactive species of the cannabis family. Although CBD oil can also be derived from psychoactive species, these oils may end up containing higher THC traces, which is not ideal for all CBD users. The endocannabinoid system of humans, to which the CBD directly affects, has a profound influence on different areas and functions in our body. Therefore, CBD oil is being self-administered as a supplement by people around the world to combat conditions. The fact is that every day new medical research is done on the CBD, and we do not really know how it works, but the potential is amazing. The financial sector is certainly betting on the continued popularity of CBD hemp oil: a recent article by Forbes estimates that the CBD market will grow by 700% by 2020.
Now, the million dollar question: what can CBD be used for? Before delving into some of the uses, we have to make clear the fact that CBD research is at an early stage, and there are only a few definitive studies of the CBD at this time. Therefore, it would be highly irresponsible to suggest that the CBD is definitely or directly linked to any of these possible applications.
At this time, the use of CBD is over-the-counter and people "self-medicate" it for a wide variety of symptoms.
Relief of pain and inflammation
One of the most researched potential applications of the CBD at this time is its analgesic effect. It is likely that the CBD will interrupt the pain receptors, paradoxically triggering the release of dopamine and serotonin instead. There is evidence to suggest that this may work even in patients for whom pharmaceutical options do not work or for whom it is not safe to prescribe them.
Relief of anxiety
One of the most popular reasons why people buy CBD products, according to reviews and anecdotal reports from users, is to relieve anxiety. Even CBD has been shown to counteract many of the effects of THC, including the reduction of paranoia, stress and anxiety. Several studies have already shown a measurable reduction of anxiety from the use of CBD based on biometric data.
Anti-nausea effect
Through the indirect agonism of 5-HT (1A), it has been shown that CBD attenuates vomiting and nausea-related behavior according to a 2012 study. CBD indirectly activates autoreceptors in the dorsal raphe nucleus, which produces an anti-emetic effect. This can be an indescribable relief for people who experience nausea for a wide variety of reasons.
Anti-psychotic
The CBD is often discussed as part of a possible future treatment for schizophrenia and other forms of psychosis. It has been shown that the compound induces a calming and antipsychotic property in humans and animals in more than one study.
Skin care
Particularly when it comes to the cessation of eczema and acne, CBD oil (used as a topical treatment) is becoming increasingly popular. It is believed that the anti-inflammatory potential of CBD could work synergistically with its positive effect on the appearance and health of the skin.
Insomnia treatment
CBD can have a sedative effect, particularly at higher doses. If you have ever suffered from insomnia or a condition that prevented you from falling asleep, you know the relief that it may fade for a few hours.
