CBD
Gaughn’s Drug Store now offers CBD products from Ananda Professional, a leader in superior quality CBD products. Learn more.
Cannabinoids are the chemicals that give the cannabis plant its medical and recreational properties. Among the 113 cannabinoids produced, THC and CBD are the most prevalent and the most well-understood. Most strains of marijuana sold today are cultivated with higher levels of THC.
THC is known for its psychoactive properties and is the reason you feel “high” after ingesting marijuana.
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and actually works to counteract the high. CBD also has numerous benefits, such as anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.
All cannabinoids act on the body via the endocannabinoid system to help the body maintain a sense of balance and may regulate body processes such as hormone production, metabolic rate, sleep onset, stress and many others. It is believed that it is through these regulatory processess that CBD exerts its therapeutic effects.
Cannabinoids, terpenes and other chemical compounds found in cannabis achieve limited success when working individual components. Research suggests that when these individual components of the cannabis plant support one another, therapeutic benefits are magnified. Together, they produce an effect that is greater than the sum of their parts. This phenomenon is known as the “entourage effect.” The entourage effect supports the idea that whole plant medicine is superior to pure extracts. For this reason, many of the products produced by Ananda Profession are “full spectrum” and contain a mixture of many different hemp chemical extracts.
Getting Started with CBD:
Cannabinoids, particularly CBD, demonstrate a bell-shaped dose-response curve; therefore, it is imperative that patients slowly titrate up to their optimal dose without going over.
To find an optimal dose, patients should eliminate the use of any cannabis product for two days. Going over the optimal dose could cause the patient to lose the maximum benefits.
Most patients prefer to start using CBD about two hours before bedtime. Patients should start with 10-15mg of active cannabinoids once daily, increasing the dose slowly every 2-3 days to determine if a better therapeutic effect results.
For example, use 10mg once daily for two days, then increase to 10mg twice daily (morning and night) for two days.
Continue to slowly titrate the dose up every few days.
Once a point is reached where the therapeutic benefits do not increase OR where they decrease, stop and go back to the previous dose. This is the top of that individual’s bell-shaped dose-response curve.
Our pharmacists and staff can help walk you through this process and help you to choose the CBD product that is right for your needs.
