Does the government regulate CBD?
Although 47% of the Americans that we surveyed think the government regulates CBD, it does not. A recent study by Penn Medicine revealed that almost 70% of cannabidiol products sold online are mislabeled. So, products from online retailers that haven’t been properly vetted could contain higher levels of THC or other compounds.
What percentage of people use CBD?
64% of CBD users use CBD for pain. 21% of men and 16% of women in the US have tried CBD. 50% of pet owners use CBD for their pets. 35.12% of vets recommend using CBD for pets. The top-selling CBD product is CBD tinctures at $976.07 million. $5.31 billion was spent on CBD products in 2021.
How many people use CBD?
In a recent Gallup poll, 64% of U.S. adults said that they were familiar with CBD and/or CBD products. In a 2020 SingleCare survey, we found that one-third of Americans have used CBD. Why do people use CBD? People claim that CBD can treat everything from acne to cancer. But the most common uses are for pain, inflammation, anxiety, and insomnia.

CBD drug testing facts
If enough THC is present, it will show up on a drug test. This means that in rare cases, using CBD might lead to a positive drug test. It all depends on the product’s quality and composition. Read on to learn how to avoid a positive drug test result, what to look for in CBD products, and more.
DOSAGE
While you may also check online for a Delta 8 THC dosage calculator to help you find the right dose, below is a simple Delta 8 dosage guide that not only applies to Delta-8 THC tinctures but other delivery methods as well. If you are new to Delta 8 THC, we suggest that you try a smaller amount at the start and work your way up until you feel the effects you desire.
● – Beginners Tier – low Delta-8 THC tolerance: 5 milligrams – 15 milligrams per serving ● – Intermediate Tier – medium tolerance: 15 – milligrams 45 milligrams per serving ● – Advanced Tier – high Delta-8 THC tolerance: 45 milligrams – 150 milligrams per serving
As we said before, when trying to find the right Delta 8 THC dosage, there are other factors to consider including medical history, effects desired, delivery method, tolerance, and many others.
Currently, there is no evidence that Delta 8 is unsafe for consumption. However, as we noted above, overconsuming the cannabinoid will not be pleasant one bit. If you are looking for an intense high, consuming extremely high doses of Delta 8 THC is not suggested — you may as well consume Delta 9 THC if that’s what you’re looking for.
In the end, being that Delta 8 THC is so new, there is still more research to be conducted on its safety, efficacy and effects on the brain and the body.
Should I Talk To My Doctor About Delta-8 Dosage?
Cannabis is one of the most used substances on the planet. But, much like other substances used for medical and recreational purposes, it can affect the body in different ways – especially if you have underlying conditions or take medications to treat physical, mental, or behavioral disorders.
And even though many states have legalized or decriminalized cannabis, many worry about talking to their doctor about their Delta 8 mg dosage.. But should you be worried? The short answer is: no. Below are a few reasons to talk to your doctor about your Delta 8 dosage.
Talking to your doctor about Delta 8 use can be scary. From legality issues to stigmas of drug use, there are
plenty of reasons to be apprehensive. But there are also several good reasons to talk to your doctor about your THC Delta 8 dosage.
Cannabis use is generally considered safe for adults and, in some cases, children. However, cannabinoids interact with other medications designed to treat physical, mental, and behavioral health disorders.
If you are taking medications to treat a disorder, it is essential to talk to your doctor about any potential interactions between your Delta 8 product and those medications. In some cases, stopping or reducing cannabis use may be necessary in order to continue taking other medications safely.
This mainly has to do with how the body metabolizes compounds in medication and cannabis. Metabolization is primarily done in the liver. If the cannabis products you are using contain a high concentration of cannabinoids, it could lead to an increase in liver enzymes which could impact how the medications are metabolized.
Additionally, some of the side effects of your Delta 8 dosage mg can exacerbate the side effects of certain medications. For example, anxiety and paranoia are potential side effects of cannabis use. Therefore, if you take medication with those same side effects, it is important to talk to your doctor about how cannabis could impact your treatment plan.
Additionally, as we said, a high Delta 8 THC mg dosage can cause dry mouth, so using it in conjunction with other medications with the same side effects may not be advisable. By talking to your doctor about your cannabis use, they can prescribe medications that won’t have interactions with cannabis and can help to avoid any negative impacts.
This may seem like a no-brainer, but Delta 8 THC or cannabis use, in general, is not safe to use during pregnancy. In fact, cannabis use during pregnancy has been linked with many negative outcomes for both the mother and the child, including:
● – Low birth weight
● – Premature birth
● – Poor fetal growth
Knowing whether or not you are pregnant is important, and if you are pregnant, you should not consume Delta 8 THC. So can your doctor report you for consuming Delta 8 THC?
Many cannabis consumers living in states where marijuana is illegal worry about talking to their doctor about cannabis use. However, doctors are not interested in jailing cannabis consumers for simply admitting that they consume THC. In fact, in most cases, doctors are more interested in helping you manage your cannabis use than anything else.
The only time that a doctor may report THC consumption to the authorities is when a minor is consuming THC products, someone is being forced to consume THC or the THC that someone is consuming is laced with other dangerous chemicals.
But in most cases, if you are an adult consuming psychoactive cannabinoids such as Delta 8 THC responsibly, there is no need to worry about talking to your doctor about it.
