CBD is a hot topic these days. Despite the 40-plus years of research, most of the medical community isn't able to offer patients many answers to their questions regarding CBD oil. If you're wondering about the most common side effects of CBD, then consider this your personal guide. And by the way, in case you missed it, we covered the benefits of CBD oil in a previous video.
1. Is CBD safe?
The number one question people ask is, "What are the side effects of CBD? Is CBD safe?" Well, I'm happy to tell you that yes, CBD is incredibly safe to use! The vast majority of people can ingest CBD oil without ever feeling any unpleasant side effects at all. In an article by The Ministry of Hemp, scientists concluded that the side effects of CBD oil are usually minor. And for most people, the benefits far outweigh the rare reports of discomfort.
In the unlikely event that you do experience side effects, they're most likely going to be very minor symptoms. The most common are mild nausea, dry mouth, dizziness, and sleepiness or drowsiness.
2. What drugs should not be taken with CBD?
It's always best to check with your doctor about adding anything new to your daily supplement regimen when you're on prescription medications. CBD oil can affect some medications — it's not impossible. A good rule of thumb is that if you're taking a drug or medication that should not be combined with grapefruit, then you shouldn't combine it with CBD oil either. Both grapefruit juice and CBD can inhibit metabolic processes. So, any drug or medication that is advised not to be consumed with grapefruit juice should not be consumed with CBD either.
And again, if you're unsure about possible drug interactions — the drug interaction checker is a great web resource. We've got that link below if you want to check it out!
3. What does CBD oil feel like?
Well, for some people it doesn't really feel like much of anything. Many people do report experiencing a sensation of calm or relaxation within 15 to 60 minutes of taking CBD — however the more significant way that you'll feel the effects of CBD is by progressively improving symptoms. Such as less pain and inflammation, reduced anxiety, better sleep cycles, and so on.

4. Can CBD get you high?
The answer is no — you cannot get high from CBD. The reason for this is that CBD contains about 0.3 percent or less of THC, which is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. So it cannot make you high. Also people often ask can using CBD oil make you fail a drug test? Again, the answer is no. Because CBD contains no psychoactive properties and the THC levels are below detectable amounts.
