Baseline of CBD

As mentioned before in previous articles, CBD is an extract that has been naturally deprived of the cannabis plant. And while its brother contains THC and is well–known for triggering psychoactivity in your brain, CBD on the other hand is popular for its blissful and relaxing benefits to human health.

CBD is very safe to use and becomes more and more popular among different people, however, CBD is still a great field that science is yet to research properly. But what we know now, allows assuming that CBD is a very safe, relaxing, and healthy habit one can endure.

Whether you have been using CBD for a while or just learning about it for any kind of purpose, always make sure to get your CBD of the best quality from a reliable manufacturer, like Marry Jane.

Effects of CBD on the body

Most important CBD’s influence is happening on our endocannabinoid system, no doubt. This system is also called ECS. Basically, it is a very thought-through system that’s comprised of receptors, proteins, and neurotransmitters. The goal of ECS is to preserve balance in your body or maintain homeostasis. Its biggest purpose is to make sure that your body functions properly, for example – when you are doing sports, its main job is to make sure that needed hormones are being spread throughout your bloodstream, to exclude overheating, and control proper cooling.

Alongside such a manner that you probably never even think about, it is also responsible for maintaining painful feelings, boosting serotonin, and so on. When your ECS is in balance, your body is in balance. Because ECS and CBD are very similar in chemical levels, our body functions better when natural Endocannabinoids are helping the homeostasis process.

Vaping and driving

Back in the CBD and driving now. There hasn’t been much study yet on people driving under the influence of CBD, but what is known now – it is not too dangerous, in fact – it is not dangerous at all. If you want to learn more about whether CBD will be shown on a drug test, you can click here.

It is best to use CBD prior to driving, so if you know you’re about to be driving, try to make a puff or two an hour before driving, because it takes around 5-15 minutes to reach your ECS when vaping, and the strongest effect of CBD is reached within first few hours after intake, therefore, if you have one to two hours period before driving – do so.

Marry Jane has several e-liquids for your vaping pod, of different flavours and odours. For example, you can purchase the blueberry e-liquid for a very rich and unlike anything else flavour of fresh berries, added by a rich and dense smoke.

Oils and driving

If you feel like you need to be more precautions and are not very sure about driving after intaking the CBD, then using CBD oils will be a great solution.

Marry Jane offers various CBD oils, both super low on THC and absolutely THC-free water soluble options.

There are only so many ways to use CBD oil, whether it is taking a few drops under your tongue, having a nice bubble bath with CBD oil, massaging it into your body, adding it to your body cream or a daily skincare routine, mixing it into any sort of dressings and so on, you name it.

Oils come in different sizes and different concentrations. If you are new to the topic, we suggest you start with a lower CBD percentage, to feel the way how CBD interacts with your body first.

For example, the regular MCT drops of 5% are going to be a great start for a beginner. Use it anyways you see fit, if you are too uncomfortable with oral intake, try adding it to your favourite body lotion, on your soles, or temples.

Gradually increase the dosage or concentration, to reach maximum benefits and effects. Do not be harsh on yourself, take all the time you need. For example, a 15% concentration will be great in a morning glass of water as a few drops, or simply hold it under your tongue until it fully dissolves.

Try using water-soluble options before driving, absolutely THC-free these drops are containing natural ingredients that bring you calmness, help you sleep better, fix your eating habits over time, and help handle anxiety.

Keep in mind, that CBD oils, especially those intaken orally take longer time to reach your ECS, therefore if you’re about to drive, it is best to intake any type of oil the night before driving.
