The cannabis industry is one of the strongest types of industries today. The number of CBD and other cannabis product manufacturers keeps growing every day, and new products are introduced to the general public all the time.

Cannabis has a huge potential because it helps with all kinds of health issues. But there’s still a massive misconception about cannabis and its products, and people quickly forget essential facts about them. Stay with us, and we’ll give you nine important details about legal cannabis products you should remember before buying your next batch of CBD oil. 

1. Cannabinoids are not toxic in any way!

CBD, THC, and all other cannabinoids found in cannabis are not toxic. THC is the only psychoactive chemical compound found in the plant, but it’s not as intoxicating as alcohol or prescription drugs. That’s why more and more people switch from using antidepressants and other drugs to CBD oils and edibles.

Generally speaking, cannabis products offer a much safer option for people suffering from many different health issues than standard prescription drugs.

2. Always read the label first!

Most cannabis products such as CBD oils, edibles, and THC-infused products are made according to the highest industry standards. All products have to go through rigorous testing imposed by the FDA, which means that the vast majority of the available products are safe for consumption.

With that said, you should know that not all products are the same. There are a lot of low-quality products that don’t go through detailed testing phases. You can recognize them by the lack of information on their labels.

3. Edibles have a more prolonged effect than smoking cannabis

If you want to experience the psychoactive effects caused by THC, you’re better off eating a gummy or a brownie than smoking or vaping weed. The effects of vaping are felt from two to four hours while eating cannabis has an effect that lasts up to 24 hours at a time. 

Not only that but smoking and vaping are also not very healthy for your lungs. On the other hand, edibles are a much safer alternative that will give you the same effects, but without the downsides. 

4. Don’t mix cannabis with other substances!

Alcohol and cannabis are not a good mix because alcohol increases the intoxicating effects of cannabis. Mixing the two substances can lead to over-intoxication and impairment. Cannabis use can also lead to anxiety, nausea, vomiting, paranoia, panic, and so on. 

That’s why you should either consume alcohol or cannabis. Also, avoid mixing cannabis with tobacco or any other substance because that could lead to serious health complications. If you use prescription drugs, talk to your doctor before you start using cannabis.

5. CBD works best with other cannabinoids

CBD products are by far the most popular type of cannabis product on the market. They usually contain only CBD, which is proven to have a lot of health benefits. However, CBD is just one of over 140 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant, and it works best when combined with all of them.

Studies proved that CBD made from whole plants has a higher therapeutic value than the products made from hemp. It can minimize the adverse effects of THC, and it works in synergy with the rest of the compounds.

6. Most Americans want to legalize cannabis!

According to the latest research, over 68% of Americans support the full legalization of cannabis across the US. It’s the highest percentage ever recorded so far, and it’s one of the reasons why recreational cannabis is becoming legal all over the US. Judging by how things are going, we expect to see cannabis fully legalized in the next few years.

7. Cannabis is still a mystery for science!

Even though cannabis is the most tested plant on the planet in the past 30 years, its effects on the human body are still largely unproven. There are tons of anecdotal evidence and even some scientific evidence to back them up, but scientists still can’t say how exactly each compound works and how it affects our body. Scientists did figure out that every one of us has the endocannabinoid system within our bodies responsible for the absorption of CBD and THC.

8. The market is growing very quickly!

Just a decade ago, most cannabis products were completely illegal, but today, the market for legal products has grown to 6 billion dollars annually. The markets are still largely controlled by illegal sales, but the current predictions say that the legal market will grow to a whopping $50b by 2026. 

9. Buy your supplies directly from manufacturers!

You can buy your cannabis products in almost every vape shop these days, but not all products are made to meet the highest industry standards. That’s why you should always try to get your products online, directly from manufacturers. That way, you’ll get all the information you need, and you can be sure that they are made from the best organically grown cannabis.

Conclusion

Here are some of the most important details you should always remember when buying your cannabis products. The good news is that soon we’ll have a lot more information about cannabinoids and how exactly they affect the human body. The bad news is that you still have to be very careful about where you buy your products. With that said, give it a try, and you won’t be sorry.
