Synthetic Cannabinoids
Toxicity
Isolated Cannabinoids
When individual molecules are extracted and consumed as an isolate, they are far less potent that less refined whole plant extracts. Cannabinoids have an amazing synergistic effect and work together to produce incredible health benefits through the entire body. Single cannabinoids alone are not only less potent but they can also create unwanted side effects that nature did not intend. CBD for example reduces the high and anxiety effect high THC can cause while THC helps the absorption of CBD.

Can CBD Oil Reduce Acne?
CBD (Cannabidiol) belongs to a large group of plant-based chemicals (phytochemicals) present from the cannabis plant. In the cannabis plant CBD is typically the second most abundant compound by concentration after tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is highly psychoactive. The therapeutic activities of CBD have been utilised for a wide range of disease conditions including those affecting the skin, immune and musculoskeletal system.
Consuming CBD Oil – How do I do it?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is most commonly consumed as an oil, mixed with a carrier such as olive oil, coconut oil (MCT) or hemp seed oil. When CBD is consumed with fatty acids this maximises the bioavailability as it binds to the fat molecules during the absorption and digestion process. This same concept applies to other fat soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, E and K. As a general rule, consuming CBD with a fatty meal will improve absorption rates.
