If you’re considering trying CBD oil but concerned about whether or not it’s addictive, then you have come to the right place!
It’s not unusual for people to be curious about CBD oil. After all, it’s made from hemp, which is part of the cannabis sativa plant family. However, it’s essential to remember that although hemp and marijuana are from the same plant family, they’re both quite different. Let’s take a look at the difference between hemp and marijuana and answer whether or not CBD is addictive.
There has been a lot of interest in both marijuana and hemp lately. First, hemp and marijuana are not the same. Hemp plants are naturally high in cannabidiol (CBD) and contain almost no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). While both plants may look remarkably similar and even smell the same, hemp plants contain less than 0.3% THC. Not enough for you to even notice, even in substantial amounts.
The 2018 US Farm Bill defined hemp as containing less than 0.3% THC and made it legal to cultivate hemp and produce goods from hemp plants at a federal level. This opened the flood gates, which saw thousands of CBD products and companies enter the market.
CBD is non-psychotropic. What does that mean? It means that CBD doesn’t get you ‘high’ as THC does. Experts around the world agree that CBD is non-addictive and poses no serious health risks. However, we still have a lot to learn about CBD and hemp before making any definitive health claims about CBD. At Asheville Hemp Supply, we grow hope. We strive to produce eco-friendly, sustainable, and natural CBD and hemp products backed up by a core foundation of educational resources for our clients.
