Are CBD Extracts Legal in the UK?

As soon as people hear anything relating to the cannabis plant, they immediately assume that it’s illegal in the United Kingdom, or UK. So even in oils and other products, consumers keep their distance because they don’t want to fall foul of the law. Well, you might be avoiding these products to your detriment because CBD isn’t illegal in the UK. Keep reading to learn more!

CBD UK Law

It’s time to end the confusion once and for all – CBD is legal across the four countries of the UK, including Great Britain, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This being said, manufacturers like Greenbox UK, must meet certain standards if they are to supply products to the market. Unfortunately, there is a problem in the industry with unauthorized products, and this is where consumers have difficulties. When looking at CBD capsules, CBD oil, CBD sprays, and other CBD products, always choose reliable pharmacies and websites.

Naturally, the products need to meet the right requirements, requirements that ensure they are safe for human consumption. What are these requirements? One of the biggest is the limit of 0.2% THC content.

If you don’t have any experience with the cannabis plant, THC is the ingredient that separates illegal cannabis and legal CBD. THC, short for tetrahydrocannabinol, is the ingredient that induces the ‘high’ effect in humans. While CBDs are taken from the same cannabis plant, they don’t contain anywhere near the levels of THC compared to illegal cannabis.

When shopping the market, ensure that any product you choose doesn’t overstep this 0.2% THC content limit. If it contains more than the limit, the product is illegal and will have other side effects when consumed or used.

When Did Laws Change?

Back in the day, you might remember a world where all products from the cannabis plant were illegal. As scientists and researchers learn more about the plant, regulations have evolved, and this is what has confused consumers as they see more products hitting the shelves.

Traditionally, CBD oils first entered shops and websites as food supplements. Add a little to your meal and you’ll benefit from the product without having to consume it another way. Then, everything changed in 2016 when the Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Agency (MHRA) made all medicinal CBD products legal across the UK.

As you can imagine, this niche has strict licensing laws, and the products must be advertised as medicinal as opposed to anything else. Licensing in the UK is essential because it keeps the niche safe. Consumers know that products found through reliable pharmacies and websites meet the standards and guidance for products in the industry.

Benefits of CBD Extracts

Why should you even pay attention to this niche? Why should you look at CBD products in the first place? Well, scientists are quickly learning more about how they can help people with anxiety, stress, depression, and sleep deprivation. Offering calming effects but without the THC side effects, it helps to relieve stress after long days at work while also reducing anxiety.

Elsewhere, some people use CBD products to relieve chronic pain, ease the symptoms related to cancer, act as a natural antidepressant, treat acne, and boost heart health.

With the right provider, all oils are tested in the lab and never exceed the THC limits. Therefore, they meet government guidelines, and you can enjoy the benefits without any of the side effects normally associated with the cannabis plant.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
