Cannabidiol (CBD)
What is CBD
CBD health benefits?
Consideration And Recommendation
Some reported side effects of cannabidiol can be dry mouth, low blood pressure, light headedness, and drowsiness. There is not enough dependable information about the safety of taking cannabidiol while you are pregnant or breast feeding. Taking high doses of cannabidiol might make muscle movement and tremors worse in people with Parkinson’s disease.
CBD – Cannabidiol is probably safe when taken by mouth and appropriately in adults. CBD dosages can be different for treatment of different diseases, such as,
- To increase appetite in cancer patients: 2.5 milligrams of THC by mouth with or without 1 mg of CBD for six weeks
- To treat chronic pain: 2.5-20 mg CBD by mouth for an average of 25 days
- To treat epilepsy: 200-300 mg of CBD by mouth daily for up to 4.5 months, etc
So, it is recommended that you should consult your doctor before starting consuming CBD.
Does everything need to be cycled?
People think that only nootropics need to be cycled. But this is false. Anything that causes a physiological shift, especially a shift in mindset should never be taken continuously. Even plants like guarana, tobacco, coca, kava, all must be cycled appropriately as they contain usually one or more constituents like caffeine that act as a drug. When it comes to prescription drugs, the medical textbooks will sometimes advise to take them every day. Some take many weeks to become effective, so this is okay. But for quicker acting ones, the science doesn’t support that using them continuously is safe. Part of the reason the hospitals do this is to make it easier for people to develop a habit so they don’t forget to take their medication accidentally. So there is a slight discrepancy between medical literature and science, but for the most part, our original statement is true that all psychoactive (affecting the mind) medicines need to be cycled.
