    CBD for Pain Management

    Are you suffering from chronic pain stemming from an accident, injury, or surgery? Have you tried traditional painkillers subscribed by doctors? There are significant concerns over addiction to painkillers such as hydrocodone or oxycodone. You may be pleasantly surprised that CBD sour gummies from Happy Hemp may be able to help mitigate your chronic pain and can help with general pain management.  
    CBD is also associated with anxiety reduction and remarkably enough seizure relief. While not FDA approved for these applications, CBD has been able to help people in the past. Remember, you’ll never know if it could help unless you try.  

    What is CBD? 

    The legality surrounding CBD isn’t the same in every state. While it’s legal in all 50 states, different rules concerning the cannabis plant change from state to state. Florida is very lax on this; as long as the CBD or medical marijuana product is FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved, you’ll see shops carrying it.  
    Cannabidiol (CBD) and marijuana have been used to treat pain for a very long time, and records show as far back as 2727 BC. While there is no THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) in CBD, CBD is the second most abundant chemical in cannabis. This means that CBD is a non-psychoactive, natural pain reliever that explains why it has been used for thousands of years.   
    CBD is used in creams, lotions, gummies, vapes, and many more. No matter the product form, all CBD products work the same depending on strength. Happy Hemp has a pleasant assortment of products that could help you deal with your chronic pain.  
     

    How Can CBD Help with Pain Management? 

    As mentioned before, CBD can function as a natural pain reliever without the psychoactive side effects of Mary Jane. CBD is said to be an anti-inflammatory, meaning it could alleviate or lessen pain brought on by swelling. Many people who live with arthritis turn to CBD, but unfortunately, not everyone experiences the same effects. Come to Happy Hemp, and we’ll help you with your CBD needs.  
    Anti-inflammatory agents work by inhibiting the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes. These enzymes form prostaglandins, which are chemicals that can produce pain sensations along with inflammation at injury sites.  
    It is important to keep in mind that CBD is not a clinically proven pain reliever. Although it does work for specific individuals, the FDA still hasn’t approved it despite evidence of its effective use for over a thousand years. This means it’s up to individual testimony to drive the progression forward. 


    Is CBD Safe to Use?
     

    As of now, there has been no evidence to suggest that FDA-certified cannabidiol products can cause you life-threatening harm. Of course, hemp products have side effects similar to traditional medicine. Associated side effects that have been reported include dry mouth, diarrhea, reduced appetite, and sleepiness. However, all CBD products contain less than 0.3% THC making them unable to induce euphoric highs.  
    You can’t overdose on CBD either. Even in extreme cases of massive dosages, death has not occurred. The health leaders at WHO (World Health Organization) speculate that CBD isn’t capable of death no matter the dosage. They say that the worst it’ll do is one or a combination of the side effects listed above.  
      

    How to Properly Read a CBD Label  

    Doing anything for the first time can be tricky; the same can be said for understanding CBD labels correctly. This is made increasingly complicated by the fact that the FDA has yet to approve any non-prescribed products.  
    Because this is the case, labels are often misleading or flat-out lie to potential consumers. There are many counterfeit products on the market. While products from actual companies are generally safe for all, knock-offs give all of the CBD community a bad reputation. Some things to keep an eye out for are: 

    • Missing ingredient information 
    • Lack of concentrations of ingredients 
    • No expiration dates 
    • “hemp seed oil” 
    • No mentioning of “full-spectrum” or “hemp-derived” 

     
    Hemp seed oil is not CBD. Cannabidiol does not come from seeds; it comes from flowers. Also, these products all expire. When it comes down to it, it’s best to use common sense. Another good general rule to follow is if the deal is too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.   
    These are just a few things to keep an eye out for while looking for hemp products. If any of these are spotted, it is imperative to steer clear. You just have no idea what’s in the products, which is why you should stick with companies such as Happy Hemp, whom you can trust.
