Sensory Goods CBD FAQ’s
What is CBD?
CBD is short for Cannabidiol. It is one of several molecules found in the cannabis plant, which are known as cannabinoids (a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant). One of the most important qualities of CBD is its lack of psycho-activity compared to other cannabinoids found such as THC. Many CBD products are sourced from industrial hemp (contains less than .3% THC). CBD is known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
What are Cannabinoids?
Cannabinoids are active compounds naturally produced by all cannabis plants. They account for most of the health benefits of cannabis. Cannabinoids found in plants are technically called phytocannabinoids. Phytocannabinoids can mimic neurotransmitters that we call endocannabinoids, which are produced naturally by our bodies.
How does CBD work?
The Cannabis plant carries nearly 60-plus cannabinoids and among those, CBD is one of the few most prominent. Cannabinoids interact with our bodies through a network of neurons called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This system runs throughout our bodies and carry receptors, which bind to the cannabinoids that help enter the bloodstream when consumed. The chemical interaction of those bonds creates a series of responses in your body. CBD can act as a neurotransmitter to help regulate our bodily systems at a cellular level. CBD has proven to have effects on most of our bodies systems such as the immune, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive systems as well as others.

What are the side effects of CBD?
Have you ever been told by a doctor or pharmacist not to eat or drink Grapefruit while taking a prescription medication? Grapefruit and CBD share similar effects on P450 (an enzyme found in the liver), which metabolizes different medications in the body. CBD can carry the same metabolizing properties found in P450, if taken in large doses. Which can temporarily neutralize the effect of other medications. This is the same side effect that counteracts THC. Another side effect discovered is what is commonly known as “cotton-mouth.” When CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system it inhibits the secretion of saliva leaving some users a dry mouth sensation. Overall, multiple studies suggest that CBD has minimal side effects and generally is safe for consumption.
What is the difference between CBD and hemp?
Hemp is a family of cannabis strains, which are grown for food and fibers. CBD is made from the flowers, leaves and stalks of cannabis. CBD is a molecular compound found in the plant’s extracts. CBD is extracted from a proprietary strain of hemp known as PCR hemp (phytocannabinoid-rich hemp). This proprietary strain is far richer in CBD and other cannabinoids and terpenes than the basic hemp plant used my most CBD producers.
