CBD is all the rage, but maybe you're not comfortable with the idea of consuming cannabis, even in a legal form? It's a perfectly natural reaction, especially if you still associate CBD with THC. Yet there are products containing 0% THC that offer all the benefits of CBD without the effects you fear. Here's why you should seriously consider them.
CBD and THC are two cannabinoids with very different effects
To fully understand the benefits of THC-free CBD products, we first need to clarify what these two molecules really are.
CBD is a natural compound extracted from hemp. This compound is non-psychotropic, which means it doesn't alter your perception, cause a "high" or lead to dependency. Instead, it interacts with your endocannabinoid system to help regulate functions such as sleep, stress, pain, inflammation and so on.
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is well known for its psychotropic effects. It's what gets you "high" when you consume recreational cannabis. It can also cause anxiety, drowsiness, loss of concentration and even dependence in certain sensitive profiles. This is the main reason why THC is banned or strictly regulated in many European countries.
When you choose a CBD product product containing THCeven in very small quantities (0.2 to 0.3%), you may experience slight side effects, depending on your sensitivity or metabolism. This is not systematic, but if you want to avoid any risk, products without any trace of THC are an excellent alternative.
What are the major advantages of THC-free CBD products?
You may be wondering what you're losing by choosing a CBD totally devoid of THC? The answer is simple: nothing essential.
CBD broad spectrum or pure isolate products contain either all the other cannabinoids and terpenes cannabis terpenes except THC, or only 99% pure CBD. They are therefore totally safe for those who want to benefit from the effects of cannabidiol, without any alteration of consciousness.
Zero psychotropic effects
With a product containing 0% THC, there' s no feeling of euphoria, mental confusion or "bad trip". You can consume it during the day, at work, before driving or playing sports, without fear of losing your lucidity. It's a precious comfort, especially if you're sensitive to the side effects of cannabinoids.
No risk of positive test
Certain professions are subject to regular saliva or urine testing, such as drivers, members of the police force and security guards. Although CBD products containing less than 0.3% THC are legal, prolonged use can leave detectable traces in the body. THC-free CBD eliminates this risk.
The same applies to top-level athletes, who must comply with anti-doping regulations. Although CBD is authorized by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency), THC is not. Opting for pure CBD, with no THC residue, gives you total protection in this respect.
Maximum legal compliance
Some countries, like France, require CBD products to contain less than 0.3% THC. Other countries are more flexible, but it's always safer to choose a 0% THC product if you're traveling or ordering over the Internet, to avoid any nasty surprises at customs or in the event of an inspection.
Better tolerance
THC can cause unpleasant reactions in some people, even at low doses, such as headaches, agitation, fatigue and digestive disorders. THC-free CBD is generally better tolerated, especially by the elderly, people with anxiety or those who have never used cannabis before.
Who should opt for THC-free CBD products?
THC-free CBD products are not aimed at a small, niche audience. They are in fact aimed at a wide range of profiles:
- People anxious about consuming cannabis, even legally ;
- Professionals subject to screening tests (salivary or urinary);
- High-level athletes subject to anti-doping rules;
- Regular drivers (trucks, cabs, VTC, etc.);
- Consumers sensitive to THC side effects;
- Patients taking medications that may interact with THC;
- Elderly people looking for a natural solution without cognitive impairment.
So, if you want to improve your daily life without ever losing control, CBD with 0% THC is a great alternative.
