CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a natural compound extracted from the cannabis plant. It is one of dozens of cannabinoids the plant produces, and it does not cause a high or any form of intoxication. It is typically taken as an oil, capsule, gummy, vape, or in traditional flower and hash form.

In most of Europe, CBD products made from legally cultivated hemp with very low THC content are permitted for sale, though exact rules, allowed THC limits, and labeling requirements can vary from one country to another. We recommend checking the specific regulations for your country or region before ordering, and we only ship products that comply with the relevant local rules.

No. CBD itself is non-intoxicating and does not produce the high associated with THC. Products sold as CBD are formulated to stay within legal THC limits, so you can expect a clear-headed, functional experience rather than a psychoactive one.

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids found in cannabis, but they behave very differently. THC is psychoactive and is responsible for the classic cannabis high, while CBD is non-intoxicating and is generally chosen for relaxation, routine, or general wellbeing rather than any mind-altering effect. Many products combine small amounts of both, so it's worth checking the label if you want to avoid THC entirely.

It depends on your priorities. If you want fast absorption and flexible dosing, an oil or tincture is a good starting point. If you prefer convenience and a pre-measured dose, capsules or gummies are easier to manage. If you enjoy a more traditional ritual, CBD flower, hash, or a vape may suit you better. Beginners generally do well starting with a lower-strength product and adjusting from there.

There's no universal dose, since it depends on the product, its concentration, and personal preference. A common approach is to start with a low strength, use it consistently for a period of time, and gradually adjust based on how you feel. Always follow the dosing guidance printed on the specific product you purchase.

Look for products that list their cannabinoid content clearly and that have been tested by an independent laboratory, ideally with a certificate of analysis available. Good manufacturing practices, clear sourcing of the hemp, and transparent labeling of THC content are all signs of a trustworthy product.

CBD products are intended for adult use only. People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, individuals taking prescription medication, or anyone with an existing medical condition should speak with a healthcare professional before use, since CBD can interact with certain medications.
