1.  CBD Is Not Psychoactive

Here’s the most widespread CBD misconception. Although CBD is not intoxicating, it is psychoactive. CBD contains properties that slightly alter one’s mind to offer relief from depression, anxiety, and, in turn, boost sleep, etc.

While many pet parents have replaced their pet’s conventional prescriptions for CBD-infused products, many are still skeptical.

Perhaps you’re still unsure, here are some reasons you should give your pets, CBD.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a major compound in cannabis. The extract is believed to interact with the endocannabinoid system, which regulates certain body functions, including appetite, mood, and sleep.

Talking sleep, some research-backed by anecdotal reports say CBD may help improve our night’s rest. So, if you’re having issues with seep, CBD looks promising.

CBD is widely believed to have a soothing and relaxing effect, but without THC’s intoxicating property.  Besides the non-intoxicating nature of the compound, how does CBD make you feel?

This can be tricky to answer, as users report different effects after CBD consumption – including calmness and relaxation.  However, the feeling derived is dependent on several factors, including the dosage, the form of CBD, and some other individual factors.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (U.S FDA) is responsible for Food and drug safety in the United States.
