If you are new to CBD Oil, it is advisable to start with a low dose and to build up your intake gradually over a few weeks, until you find the dosage that best suits your needs. You may have read that CBD’s status as a food supplement has changed. Please be aware that CBD is still legal and safe to consume. CBD stands for cannabidiol (can·na·bid·i·ol) – it’s a cannabinoid, a natural extract of the hemp plant that is legal and non-intoxicating (no psychoactive or addictive effects).
