1.What is CBD?
CBD is one of the natural active ingredients called cannabinoids contained in the cannabis plant. CBD is said to balance the mind and body, including relaxation. CBD can be used legally in Japan.
2. Why doesn’t CBD work?
The number of people using CBD has been increasing in recent years, but there are also people who take it but find it has no effect at all, or are unsure whether it is working or not. Below are some common reasons why you may not be able to feel the effects of CBD.
1. Low CBD content
As CBD becomes more popular, it is now available for purchase online, in stores, and in many other places. There are more than 100 brands in Japan alone, and it is becoming difficult to count them all when you include brands imported from overseas.
However, some products claim to contain CBD but are actually inferior products that do not contain any CBD or are sold without thorough ingredient testing.
When purchasing CBD products, we recommend that you refer to the following points to help you determine their quality:
・Check the results of ingredient testing by a third party
Lab testing allows you to know exactly how much CBD is in your product.
- Check product reviews
Websites like CannaInsider, Leafly and CBD Oil Users provide reviews about brands’ effectiveness, delivery times and customer service.
Choose from trusted brands.
Popular brands imported from overseas, such as Endoca, CBDfx, and Pharmahemp, are considered to be safe choices because they have been proven by many users to produce high-quality products.
2. Inadequate intake
Finding the right dosage for you can be a bit tricky, as the appropriate CBD dosage varies from person to person. So how do you figure out what's right for you?
Start with a low dose and slowly work your way up to taking it daily until you find your individual "sweet spot."
Also, like many other drugs or chemicals, you can develop a tolerance to CBD, so if you feel like you're not getting any results after a while, it's a good idea to take a break for a few days before starting again.
3. It takes time
CBD may not have an immediate effect after taking it, so it takes some time to continue. There is also the idea that a certain amount of accumulation is required to feel the effects. In fact, many people feel the effects after taking CBD for several weeks or months.
If you don't see results after a while, it may be time to try a different brand or product type.
4. Product type issues
There are various types of CBD products, and the absorption rate into the body varies depending on the type. For example, oral intake such as gummies and capsules is said to be around 10%, while sublingual intake of oil is said to be around 20% to 30%, and inhalation intake such as vaping is said to be 30% to 40%.
If you don't see results with food or other types of products, you may want to try other methods.
5. CBD is not the answer
CBD is expected to be effective against various symptoms, but it is by no means a panacea. If the problem you are having cannot be solved by CBD in the first place, using CBD will not solve it. Also, there are people who have tried various methods listed above but still cannot feel the effects. In such cases, it may be better to look for another method instead of CBD.
3. Conclusion
This article explains why CBD may not work for you. Instead of giving up after the first try, try the methods listed above.
