(Ad) CBD is an abbreviation for “cannabidiol.” CBD is a natural substance found in cannabis and hemp plants. Because research has shown CBD’s positive effects on everything from chronic pain to insomnia and anxiety, there are many products on the market that contain CBD oil, everything from vaporizers, tinctures and food to beauty products– and even options for pets!

CBD is not intoxicating or psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t cause a high, which is a distinction from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). However, research also shows that full-spectrum CBD, which includes THC, can be more potent than products containing CBD alone.

Let’s explore full spectrum CBD in order to understand its benefits, as well as explore the best high-quality and low cost options for this promising product.

What are the benefits of CBD?

In CBD tinctures, the CBD has been extracted in oil form and is mixed into various formulas for different purposes.

Though CBD is an essential component of medical marijuana, CBD does not cause a high by itself. Research suggests that CBD oil may offer many important health benefits, including:

  • Managing anxiety, stress, and depression. CBD may help boost levels of serotonin. Many pharmaceutical drugs used to treat anxiety and depression work to increase serotonin in the brain, as serotonin is the chemical our brain uses to control mood. CBD, a natural and nonaddictive chemical, acts on more than 65 receptors in our brains, some of which affect serotonin levels, and can reduce anxiety and depression as well as help with stress management.
  • Alleviating chronic pain: When applied to the skin, studies indicate that CBD could help reduce inflammation. Other research suggests CBD may inhibit inflammation and neuropathic pain.
  • Helping with insomnia: hand-in-hand with studies that show CBD can help with chronic pain and anxiety are studies that suggest CBD helps us sleep better. From suppressing the stress hormone to alleviating circadian rhythm disorders and restless leg syndrome, CBD may help eliminate many of the issues that interfere with healthy sleep.

What is full spectrum CBD?

Full spectrum CBD tincture is similar to broad-spectrum CBD tincture in that it contains a variety of cannabinoids and terpenes derived from hemp.

Both Broad Spectrum and Full Spectrum have a spectrum of cannabinoids and natural terpenes from the hemp plant. The primary difference is that Broad Spectrum CBD contains undetectable levels of THC, whereas Full Spectrum contains legal trace amounts of delta-9-THC (<.3%).

How do CBD and THC work together?

Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are both phytocannabinoids, and we can enjoy their benefits both separately and together, but some evidence suggests that the two ingredients are more effective when combined, thanks to the “entourage effect.” A full spectrum CBD tincture would be an example of a product that could offer the entourage effect.

Cannabis plants contain more than 120 different phytocannabinoids which act on our bodies’ endocannabinoid system. This is the system responsible for our bodies’ or balance, or homeostasis. Research indicates that CBD and THC interact with one another as well as with the brain's receptors, increasing their overall efficacy. In addition, taking CBD together with THC may mitigate some of the potentially undesirable side-effects of THC.

Pros and cons of Canna River Tinctures 

Pros

  • Consistent formulas: no matter what size tincture you buy, each dose will deliver the same strength.
  • Federally legal: Canna River only sells Farm Bill compliant hemp-based cannabinoids with less than .3% Delta-9-THC.
  • Canna River’s Ultra Strength tinctures offer an impressive strength of 20,000mg of CBD, allowing you to experience the cannabinoid’s full wellness potential.
  • Affordable prices: Canna River’s products run $20 for regular strength tinctures to $100 for ultra strength tincture, well below industry-standard pricing.

Cons

  • Everyone responds to cannabinoids differently, and not every product will work the same for every person.Before using CBD for your wellness needs, you should speak to your doctor.
  • It is possible that tinctures will trigger some drug tests, especially with regular use. Canna River’s Broad Spectrum CBD tincture contains less than 0.3% THC, which will trigger a positive drug test. The D8 and HHC Tinctures may also cause a positive drug test, so consumers should use these products with discretion.
  • THC may cause grogginess and/or dry mouth in some users. Though adding CBD is thought to mitigate these effects, you can always opt for a THC free formula.  If you want to try CBD but don’t want to take THC, look for a CBD isolate product such as a broad-spectrum tincture rather than a full-spectrum CBD product.
