Could You Overdose While Consuming CBD?

The popularity of CBD oil has grown exponentially in recent years as more and more people discover its potential health benefits. However, many people are still unaware of the ideal dose, and some may be concerned that it is possible to overdose on CBD. It’s important to know that CBD-derived products are low in THC (less than .03%), so it is improbable that you will experience any psychoactive effects or overdose. However, if you are concerned about taking too much CBD, it’s always best to speak with a healthcare professional before starting any supplement regimen. That’s why SmokePost CBD Dispensary is here to clear the air and answer any questions you may have about CBD overdosing.

What is overdosing?

Overdosing occurs when you take more of a substance than your body can safely process. Overdoses happen with both legal and illegal drugs. When it comes to illicit drugs, overdoses are often caused by users taking too much of a substance to get high. With legal drugs, overdoses can happen when someone takes too much of a medication they are prescribed or when someone takes a medication that they should not mix with other substances.

Is it possible to overdose on CBD?

CBD is not a psychoactive substance, meaning that it does not produce the “high” associated with cannabis. CBD is also non-toxic and does not cause any harm to the body in high doses. As a result, CBD overdose is impossible. Furthermore, the brain region responsible for respiration has no cannabinoid receptors, meaning that CBD cannot cause respiratory depression (a common symptom of drug overdoses).

What happens if you take too much CBD?

While CBD is non-toxic and cannot cause an overdose, taking too much CBD can still result in unwanted side effects. The CBD dosage is determined by several factors, including age, diet, sex, metabolism, weight, and previous experience.

Despite no study that has reported CBD oil overdoses, it is still possible to take too much CBD. Overdose thresholds do not exist now, so starting with a low dosage is crucial and working your way up.

CBD in excess – what are the side effects?

An excess of CBD consumption can occur when mislabeled products are ingested or when CBD products that are not of high quality are used. When CBD is not of good quality, it can be contaminated with other substances that may cause side effects. Contaminating substances include pesticides and heavy metals.

Broad-spectrum CBD products can also cause side effects because they contain other cannabinoids in addition to CBD. Some of the other cannabinoids in broad-spectrum CBD products can interact with medications and cause side effects.

There are several side effects associated with CBD:

Anxiety. Anxiety is the most common side effect of CBD. It can cause a feeling of unease and make it difficult to concentrate.

Dizziness and Lightheadedness. Dizziness and lightheadedness are also common side effects of CBD. These symptoms can be caused by a drop in blood pressure when taking CBD.

Dry Mouth. Another unpleasant CBD side effect is dry mouth. This symptom is caused by the cannabinoid receptors in the salivary glands interacting with CBD.

Nausea and Vomiting. Nausea and vomiting are not as common as the other side effects, but they can occur. CBD can stimulate the vomiting reflex in some people.

Appetite changes. Changes in appetite are another common side effect of CBD. Some people experience an increase in appetite, while others experience a decrease.

Psychosis. CBD has been known to cause psychosis in some people. A person who has psychosis is unable to connect with reality. They may experience hallucinations, delusions, and paranoia.

How to use CBD effectively

There is a lot of misinformation and a lack of understanding around how to use it effectively when it comes to CBD. The FDA does not currently regulate CBD, so it’s important to do your research and understand the different brands and products available.

Most brands will provide specific advice on using their products, so following those instructions is essential. Studies have generally recommended taking CBD in dosages of 2-5 mg per 10 lbs of body weight. You may need to experiment a little to find the best dosage. Start with a low dosage and work your way up.

CBD is a non-psychoactive substance with potential health benefits. It’s critical to start with a small dose and gradually increase as needed. CBD can cause unwanted side effects. Overall, CBD is a safe and effective method of enhancing your health.
