CBD & Drug Testing: Can HEMP CBD cause me to fail?
Can one fail a drug test using hemp CBD oil?
Yes, is the long and short of it but there are options to avoid this! Selecting the product that fits your needs is key so do your research or visit a trusted retailer for direction. Remember too, that sourcing and quality matters. One study revealed that up to 70% of online CBD products are mislabeled (1). Yikes! We’re not saying don’t buy online but be a conscious consumer for your health. Luckily, there are lots of local options with educated employees and why not utilize the free advice for your purchases?!
What if CBD isn't working for me? Troubleshooting Guide!!
Honestly, the idea of CBD not working for someone is hard for me to hear. I want people to be well and it seems unfair! Though not often, it does come up and we are paving the road to greater understanding when we share our genuine experiences. It is always a good idea to be honest about how something is or isn’t working in your body! It’s easy to become very frustrated when you try CBD every which way and feel nothing. Or you find relief and then the body stops responding the same way it did months ago, at the same dose. Because we are all unique biologically and because things can change at a moment’s notice on a cellular level, this is normal and to be expected so don’t give up on yourself or your Endocannabinoid System. Below, I offer some suggestions for those who have experienced a lackluster effect from CBD.
Supporting the System: What is Endocannabinoid Deficiency?
Endocannabinoid deficiency is exactly what it sounds like – one’s body lacks endocannabinoids or the proper functioning of receptors creating a weakened system. It’s very real and backed by decades of research. When supplementing with hemp products, consumers really ought to know how to support and optimize the system! There’s a bit of ground to cover but I’ll keep it simple.
Your Endocannabinoid System: Simplified
Wait, we have an endo-what? And we produce cannabinoids? Where have I been?! These were some of my questions when I first heard tell of the remarkable endocannabinoid system or ECS. I felt so ignorant and like I had been living under a rock, but I was also excited and intrigued! I wanted to know more so I read what I could and talked with those more familiar with the subject, as I was utilizing and selling CBD oil and wanted to be informed. Who knows about this and how long have they known? What IS IT?! What role does it play and how can it affect our health?
CBD Dosing: Experiment and Experience
Depending on several factors, each of us will have a dose that is unique and may change depending on various factors: the concentration of CBD, weight of the individual, the individual’s body chemistry and finally, the severity of the condition being treated. With a little trial and error, one is sure to find their sweet spot.
Delivering Your CBD: Choose the method that fits your needs!
Do you know there are at least 7 ways to ingest CBD oil?! It’s true, as if CBD isn’t confusing enough as it is 😉 How one chooses to ingest CBD will not change the effect, but it will determine the intensity and speed of absorption. In addition to finding a high-quality oil, it is very wise to weigh your options and find the right fit. Don’t buy an oil if you are turned off by the flavor or texture – you don’t want it sitting in your cabinet, you want to use it! On the other hand, if you’re considering sublingual you’ll be glad to know it is a long-standing delivery method with proven effectiveness*! Knowing more about the many ways to utilize the popular supplement can help you determine the right product for you!
