CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is one of the components of the cannabinoid, which is derived from cannabis and hemp plants. It appears to have multiple therapeutic effects, antispasmodic, neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties.

CBD can be taken as a dietary supplement, as it relieves everyday stress and makes the nervous system very resistant.

Indeed, vaporizing CBD is legal in some countries.

 

In which countries is it possible to spray CBD when travelling?

Each country has its own laws regarding CBD, which makes things a little more complicated. Some countries completely legalize CBD, others refer to the THC level, while some completely prohibit its use.

In Europe, spraying CBD is tolerated, even allowed in all countries.

Although some governments have not yet decided on CBD, the majority of European countries have decided not to ban CBD. Nevertheless, Denmark requires a doctor’s prescription for cannabis use in the city.

Three states in the USA and Canada have decided to ban CBD vaporization: Idaho, South Dakota and Nebraska, but Arizona, Massachusetts, Nevada, California Colorado Washington, Alaska and Oregon have accepted CBD as legal. For other states, CBD is legal if it does not exceed a high THC level.

Before spraying CBD abroad then you should check the existing laws in each country. As a precaution, it is therefore advisable to check the existing laws before travelling with CBD.

 

Is it possible to travel with CBD?

Today, travel has become more affordable and easy to access. However, for people who need CBD, the idea of travel may be problematic.

It is therefore essential to check the legality of the CBD in the country you wish to visit. The most convenient way to get this information is to ask a customs officer, but you can also seek advice from an airport or airline representative.

All of these steps will help you avoid problems during your travels.

But spraying CBD abroad and travelling with it can create problems.

 

How does CBD work?

The human nervous system is made up of several receptors. The endocannabinoid system is one of these receptors.

The receptors of the endocannabinoid system are located in the nervous system, in the spinal cord and in the nerves. In the human brain, the receptors are located in areas responsible for concentration and movement. As a result, the endocannabinoid system is involved in the regulation of various physiological processes.

The CBD is able to mimic some of the effects of 2-Arachidonoylglycerol, which is an endocannabinoid. Hence, spraying CBD has an impact on humans.

CBD has legal status in many countries. However, before spraying CBD abroad, it is always necessary to inquire about the legalization of CBD in the country, as some countries prohibit its use for its impact on the human brain.

The generalist newspapers talk about legal cannabis in order to refer to CBD flowers. Several CBD shops are opening in France but they close shortly afterwards. In this case, many ask the question: Is CBD legal in France?

 

What exactly is CBD?

In order to understand CBD, you need to know that you can see several molecules in a cannabis plant. These molecules are called cannabinoids. The best known is THC or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. However, CBD is one of these types of molecules. On average, cannabis is loaded with 10 per cent THC in its natural state. This concentration of THC causes high effects on cannabis. CBD or cannabidiol is not psychoactive. Indeed, the effects of CBD on some symptoms appear to be positive. In this case, CBD has relaxing properties. Unlike cannabis, CBD is not addictive. It even protects against the development of addiction. In addition, CBD allows cigarette users to reduce their cravings. It is also said to block all the consequences of THC on the nervous system and this reduces its psychoactive effects.

 

The legal framework of the CBD

The regulations say that transactions involving cannabis are prohibited. However, cannabidiol has an exceptional authorization. CBD must be included among the varieties that are authorized by the health authority. Cannabis fibres and seeds can be used. Moreover, it is forbidden to consume cannabis flowers. The THC content must not exceed 0.2 %. Care must be taken because the THC content that is allowed concerns the finished product and the plant. In France, a product is legal when, at the end of production, no trace of THC is found.

 

Is legalization advantageous for France?

In France, one should find a product derived from cannabis as a result of a European law that tolerates the CBD business in France. In a hemp crop, French farmers find a market with several outlets. On the one hand, this crop absorbs essential amounts of carbon dioxide. On the other hand, it is also more lucrative than the other crops that are widespread, namely wheat. Moreover, hemp cultivation is currently well controlled.  The country imports most of its hemp needs to other neighbouring countries. The sale of cannabis that is in the form of CBD is not prohibited in some European countries provided that it complies with the THC level: less than 0.2 per cent. Although CBD is legalized in France, its sale poses problems in other countries. Other countries face legal uncertainty regarding cannabidiol.

CBD exists in several forms. There are those that are in the form of gelatin in capsules, chewing gum, pasta, e-liquid, cosmetics and oil. Everyone can choose according to their needs. CBD differs from THC, not only in its health benefits, but especially in its use in a medical setting. Indeed, CBD is used to soothe pain, inflammation, and many other symptoms. CBD is obtained by extracting the plant material that contains it. This is why hemp flowers are the most used for the extraction of CBD, because they contain a lot of cannabinoid. The question is how to extract CBD from hemp? This article has been written to answer this question.

 

Extraction of CBD by hand

One of the methods to extract CBD from hemp is hand extraction. It does not require a solvent. It can be said that this method is the simplest, but yields are often low. Thus it is not very practical for producers and users of CBD. As in the manufacture of CBD resin for example, pressure and heat are applied directly to the hemp flower to extract a natural oil. Also, for the manufacture of the CBD kief, only the process of cooling and shaking the hemp glands is applied.

 

Solvent extraction of CBD

To extract CBD from hemp, you can also use the solvent extraction method. For this you need decarboxylated plant material. Then, in order to remove cannabinoids and terpenes from the hemp, a solvent such as ethanol, butane or hexane is passed over the hemp. After extraction, allow the liquid to evaporate, retaining the CBD oil. Be aware that this method does not require a lot of equipment and is less expensive.

 

Extraction of CBD with olive oil

Another method to extract CBD from hemp is the extraction of CBD using olive oil. This provides an opportunity for people who want to create their own oil at home. It is only necessary that you have a basic knowledge of cooking. As with solvent extraction, you need a decarboxylated vegetable material. Then heat it in the oil for at least two hours to have an infusion. Indeed, by the process of activation of the plant’s compounds by heat, you will have an infusion of cannabinoids and olive oil fats. To have an oil infused with CBD, let the oil cool down and then filter the plant matter. This method is quite simple, however, its disadvantage is that it results in a low CBD content.

All over the world, hemp is used as food or as an essential fibre. Over the millennia, this plant has clothed, warmed, sheltered and also fed entire populations. Hemp is therefore an amazing plant. These benefits are multiple. The cultivation of hemp offers a thousand possibilities in the ecological field. This article helps you to know the ecological virtues of hemp.

 

A profitable and clean crop

Previously, the cultivation of hemp was neglected. Now it is once again attracting many farmers. It has many ecological advantages. Hemp is a disease-resistant plant. It is a very advantageous crop from an ecological point of view. Indeed, hemp cultivation requires little maintenance. Hemp also allows a fast cultivation with a short life cycle of four to five months. In this case, it is an interesting yield. Apart from that, hemp cultivation is ideal for the preparation of the land to be able to accommodate other plantings. The plant smothers weeds. It leaves a clean soil. The branched roots of the plant grow deep. This results in loose soil that is easy to work with.

The oil and seeds are good for the arteries

Consumed in the form of oil or seed, hemp offers several nutritional benefits. Most oils that are too rich in omega 6 can cause inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders. On the other hand, the level of fatty acids in hemp oil is balanced. This brings benefits for the health of the arteries and also lowers the cholesterol level in the blood. In addition to being rich in nutrients, hemp oil is one of the oils that contain less fat. On the other hand, hemp seeds called hemp seed are rich in protein, minerals, fibre and vitamins. Thus, hemp oil and hemp seeds are good for the arteries.

 

The oil is ideal for the skin

Thanks to the moisturizing properties of hemp oil, apart from its use in food, it works wonders in cosmetics. In this case, hemp oil is ideal for moisturizing the skin. In spite of its nourishing virtues, it remains little known. Thus, it is useful for anti-aging care. Hemp oil boosts the micro-circulation and also helps to fight various small rednesses. The whole promotes hydration and repair of the skin. Moreover, it is still effective in reducing the sensation of overheating whether it is related to light burns or sunburn. Thus, doctors have become interested in the protective properties of the oil. They use it to soothe burns that are related to radiotherapy. In addition, doctors use hemp oil after shaving to soothe irritations. From all points of view, it can be said that hemp is a miracle plant.

CBD, a substance derived from cannabis, is increasingly sought after today because of its many therapeutic properties. Classified as a dietary supplement, this molecule can come in several different forms, but the oil remains the most common of them. Therefore, by what means can it be extracted?

 

Liquid solvent extraction

This process of extraction of CBD oil involves the use of a liquid solvent to separate cannabinoids from hemp and cannabis flowers. In most cases, heated alcohol is used to easily extract this molecule. This can be grain alcohol, isopropyl alcohol and even naphtha.

Not very demanding in terms of equipment and above all cheap, this technique allows you to make your own homemade cannabis oil. All you will need is your rice cooker, a hotplate and several glass containers.

Be careful though, because using alcohol as a solvent exposes you to a relatively high risk of explosion. Also, some residue may remain after evaporation if the operation is not well controlled, which can undermine the therapeutic effects of CBD and increase its harmfulness. It is therefore necessary for you to have a minimum of knowledge in this field, to ensure that each stage of this technique is carried out correctly.

 

Extraction with natural oil

Unlike the first method, this one uses natural vegetable oil as a solvent. This is the case with olive oil and coconut oil. Fast and easy to use, the extraction of CBD oil by this technique is safer and is done without chemicals, thus avoiding possible health risks. However, the disadvantage remains the fact that the product obtained by this process has a low CBD content. Similarly, cannabinoids can easily spoil and dissipate easily if not stored properly. Therefore, production remains limited and is for personal use only.

 

Extraction by CO₂ supercritical

This extraction method is certainly the most complex, but also the most efficient. It makes it possible to obtain a much healthier and more concentrated oil, if not the best. As a result, it requires sophisticated equipment, in-depth knowledge and represents a high cost. This process of extracting oil from CBD is used by professionals to produce pure, residue-free oil in large quantities.

Once subjected to extreme temperature or pressure, the CO2 reaches a state qualified as supercritical, which facilitates the separation of cannabinoids. Thanks to its gaseous properties, it can easily pass through plant matter, or dissolve its constituents when in a liquid state.

In France, the cultivation of hemp by a private individual is a regulated activity. This plant is certainly ornamental and acts as a repellent against certain parasites, but it also contains THC, a psychotropic substance subject to strict regulations. It is therefore advisable to grow it legally.

 

Regulations for the cultivation of hemp

To grow your own hemp in the garden, it is advisable to inform yourself beforehand about the regulations in force, to avoid any problems. It is essential to make a declaration of honour beforehand, and to keep it at the disposal of the Ministry of the Interior. In addition, you must inform the local gendarmerie of your hemp cultivation, if you want it to be done legally. Private individuals are allowed to grow all varieties, but only those approved by French and European regulations, and whose THC (delta 9 Tetra Hydro Cannabiol) level is less than 0.2%. The courageous amateurs of this plant will also have to take care of rigorous administrative procedures to acquire the seeds.

 

Regular and frequent controls

Individuals who plan to grow their own hemp must expect regular checks by the authorities. It is forbidden to use farm-saved seeds which may increase the THC content and thus be guilty of growing highly psychotropic plants.  Checks are also carried out on the quantity of male and female flower plants, as female plants produce more THC. In addition, it should be noted that authorized varieties of cannabis can be planted, with the use of fibres and seeds only. Therefore, it is possible to cultivate hemp on a larger scale, provided that the flowers, which are intended for psychotropic use, are not used.

 

Hemp, an interesting crop

This plant has many qualities, and growing your own hemp offers many possibilities. Once you have obtained the seeds, be aware that this crop needs warmth and sunshine to grow well, and that the temperature must be above 15° day and night. Above all, it is advisable to clean the area by removing weeds and adding compost to the soil. To do this, preferably use a rake to keep the soil clean and well aerated. The hemp seeds can be sown in rows or broadcast, making sure that they are all well covered with soil before watering the crop in a fine rain. Afterwards, thin out the plants that have emerged from the soil, leaving about 20 cm between each one. To obtain healthy and vigorous plants, make sure to water them regularly.

Cannabidiol cannabis flowers provide various benefits. Unlike THC cannabis, CBD flowers are allowed for sale. With its unique benefits, the most popular CBD flowers come in a variety of forms.

 

CBD flowers: its unique benefits

CBD flowers are derived from cannabis buds. With less than 0.2% HTC, CBD flowers comply with the European standard. This flower is used for therapeutic purposes. To preserve its natural property, CBD cannabis leaves are extracted with finesse. This cannabidiol derivative comes from hemp plants. Indeed, regular consumption of CBD allows to treat certain diseases. The terpene contained in this flower has a long-lasting and effective effect. The cannabidiol flower is an effective remedy against stress and anxiety. This plant has relaxing and anti-inflammatory effects. It is a better alternative to antidepressants. The cannabidiol flower attenuates chronic ailments such as rheumatism. Cannabidiol fights cannabis addiction and cravings. It improves neurons and physical and psychological well-being. Treatment with CBD reduces childhood epilepsy.

 

Most popular CBD flowers: an interesting variety

Various types of cannabidiol flowers are available on the market. The most popular CBD flowers have distinct characteristics. When grown indoors, CBD Indoor has a denser cannabidiol content. Because of its planting condition, the Indoor flower is part of the premium product. This plant is not sprayed with pesticides and the flowers remain intact. Indeed, the plant retains its natural scent. Rich in CBD, the indica flower is known for its soothing effect. This plant comes from the mountains. On the other hand, the sativa flower is picked in the tropical region. This type of flower stimulates energy. The most chosen flower is the one that combines the sativa and indica category. It is an aromatic bouquet that stimulates energy and at the same time has a relaxing effect. The flower with a CBD content of less than 14% is more appreciated on the market. In short, the final choice depends on taste and preference.

 

CBD flowers: with a simple method of use

From the outset, CBD flowers do not smoke. The dry flowers are used to decorate the interior with a singular rendering. The scent of cannabidiol spreads throughout the room. It is common to infuse the flowers in herbal tea. This process does not cause psychotropic effects. To preserve its benefits, it is advisable to soak the flowers in milk. Cannabidiol flower is an excellent treatment supplement. However, for optimal use, it is best to consult an expert. CBD does not cause any risk of addiction because it is subject to the legal delta-tetrahydrocannabinol concentration.

More and more people are turning to alternative or complementary medicine for treatment. There may be different reasons for this. For a while, herbal medicine products were all the rage, but now it is cannabis products that are becoming popular. CBD, which is one of the products of cannabis, is consumed in all forms: flower, tea, oil, etc. Recently, we have seen that these products have helped to treat low back pain with CBD.

 

What is CBD?

CBD or cannabidiol is a molecule found in the plant called cannabis or hemp. CBD is not the only molecule present in the plant, there is also THC or tetrahydrocannabinol which is the most abundant molecule in cannabis. However, the latter has a hallucinogenic effect and that is why its consumption is prohibited by law. CBD, on the other hand, does not have this effect and in addition, it has very interesting therapeutic virtues in the health field. These virtues have been studied for a long time by scientific researchers and the results are conclusive.

 

CBD and low back pain

One of the first therapeutic virtues that we have known about CBD for several years now is that it has really impressive results on the reduction and diminution of pain, especially muscular pain. Thus, treating low back pain with CBD is possible because of its virtues as a powerful analgesic. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory. As a result, it considerably improves the quality of life of patients with low back pain since painkillers and other treatments are little or not at all effective. Low back pain is only one example of a disease that CBD can cure, relieve and treat.

 

How does CBD affect low back pain?

Low back pain is a disease that would be classified as chronic neuropathic pain. According to studies by Canadian researchers at a University Health Centre Research Institute, CBD has been shown to have a significant effect on the relief of this pain. In addition to progressively reducing the pain caused, this molecule treats and can cure low back pain with CBD. CBD can act simultaneously on pain and also on anxiety. In order for the product to be effective, a precise dosage of the molecule is required before it is given to patients. This dosage must be accurate to the milligram to avoid unwanted side effects such as euphoria. And for the treatment to be effective, a minimum of seven days of treatment is required. However, before taking CBD products to treat yourself, you should consult a doctor.

Diseases of the intestines are caused by a range of conditions that make the digestive tract heavier. Often, these conditions lead to chronic inflammation and can pierce the walls of the intestine. Of course, various symptoms can appear throughout the patient’s life. Depending on the severity of the disease, the patient may have a frequent attack. Inflammatory bowel disease can victimize anyone. To prevent these disorders, the use of the endogenous cannabinoid system or CBD seems very essential.

 

A new type of respected remedy

According to the results of several studies, it has been shown that the endocannabinoid system plays a major role in intestinal physiology. Indeed, it is possible to treat intestinal problems with CBD or cannabinoids.

In this case, cannabis has become a new alternative for treating intestinal disorders. It can have a positive effect on all systems in the body. In addition, cannabis can be applied as a nutraceutical and pharmaceutical product.

As far as CBD is concerned, it is a potent component and has no adverse effects on patients.

 

The endocannabinoid system and the intestine

CBD is considered to be a very useful element in the prevention of a multitude of health-related disorders. Many of its effects stem from its anti-inflammatory capabilities. This cannabinoid is currently showing promise in treating certain localized infections in the digestive system and intestines.

Since intestinal health is very important, it becomes essential to keep it healthy. Diversified diets and foods can help maintain the proper functioning of the digestive and intestinal system. In addition, it is possible to use fermented foods or probiotics that are carriers of beneficial bacteria.

Indeed, cannabinoids and CBD can play an active role in improving intestinal health. In this case, the endocannabinoid system can act significantly in the proper functioning of normal physiology and maintain gastrointestinal functions.

The CBD has many benefits such as the ingestion of fat in the body, signalling inflammation or hunger. Its use can promote intestinal permeability and facilitate interactions with the intestinal microbiota.

 

Improving intestinal permeability

There are intestinal problems due to the permeability of the intestine. Indeed, this syndrome is linked to health problems such as multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc., and to a large number of autoimmune diseases.

CBD can solve the problem of permeability of tight junctions. It can ensure the full restoration of such problems.

CBD or cannabidiol belongs to a family of chemical compounds called cannabinoids. It is a cannabis derivative. According to researchers, cannabidiol has many therapeutic properties, including the treatment of inflammatory pain. Therefore, CBD oil is particularly used to relieve various types of pain, including chronic pain. It is also used to treat menstrual pain, migraines and rheumatic pain.

 

Notion on chronic pain

Chronic pain is defined as continuous pain that persists for at least 12 weeks. It is localized to a particular area of the body. There is no specific reason for the pain, but it can have different causes. The presence of chronic pain can significantly affect a person’s daily life. Indeed, the person’s movements may be limited because of the discomfort caused. It is difficult to question the effectiveness of medications for chronic pain. However, their side effects can be very serious. On the other hand, it has been found that the impact of CBD on the body is very mild. This is why it is recommended in the process of chronic pain care. A perfect compatibility has been found between CBD and chronic pain.

 

The CBD to relieve chronic pain

Chronic pain should not be neglected, as pain that persists for a long time can lead to long-term disability. A perfect effectiveness has been found between CBD and chronic pain. It should be noted that the human body is capable of producing its own cannabinoids. It also has its own CB1 and CB2 receptors in the brain and body. CB1 in the brain has the particularity of controlling emotions, thought, appetite, pain and memories. Therefore, the use of cannabidiol oil allows the human body to stimulate the production of cannabinoids. Usually, a low dose of CBD oil is administered to the patient with chronic pain to test its impact on the pain experienced. The dosage is then gradually increased if necessary.

 

CBD and its side effects

Cannabis sativa contains Tetrahydrocannabiol or THC. This substance is known for its psychoactive side effects. However, although THC and CBD come from the same plant, their chemical compounds are incredibly different. The molecular and receptor differences between the two plants mean that cannabidiol does not cause any psychoactive effects. Moreover, according to the WHO, CBD oil does not cause any side effects when used alone. Treatment with CBD and chronic pain has no effect on patients’ mood or health. These patients have reacted very well to the use of this substance and no damage to the nervous system has been found. On the other hand, a sudden loss of appetite as well as weight loss has been noted in some cases.
