[AD] What Happened When I Took CBD Oil?

You may already know that there is a lot of controversy around cannabis products like CBD oil because of recreational marijuana use. I admit when I first learned about CBD oil, I was very sceptical. My brain immediately turned to weed, and the thought of being involved was easy to dismiss. Of course, I did more research and learnt more about what CBD oil.

 Please note this post is a collaborative post with Mistatera . All opinions are my own.  

What is CBD oil? 

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil is a product that has derived from cannabis. It’s a type of cannabinoid, which are the chemicals naturally found in marijuana plants. Even though it comes from marijuana plants, CBD doesn’t create a “high” effect or any form of intoxication — that’s caused by another cannabinoid, known as THC. CBD is thought to have significant therapeutic properties – but researchers are still working hard to understand the specifics. 

A study found that comparing the effects of THC and CBD found that, while THC increased anxiety by activating the neurotransmitters involved in the “fight or flight” response, CBD actually repressed autonomic arousal—or the nervous system response associated with sudden increases in heart rate or respiration. In other words, CBD may be ideal for people looking to relax and unwind.

Is CBD oil legal?

For CBD oil to be legal in the UK, it must contain less than 0.2% of THC. Mistatera oils are within this limit. Many people are interested in taking CBD oil, but they are not sure what it’s like or how it feels after consumption. Well, I am here to tell you how and what it was like to take CBD oil.

First Thoughts on using CBD?

I decided to take the CBD oil for one week and thought it would be good to start mid-week. (I don’t tend to stick at things if I start at the beginning of the week). Squeezing one drop of Mistatera CBD drops and waited to see what happened placed it on my tongue. I made notes of how I felt about CBD oil during the week.

Day one –Pain in my neck 

I had been feeling some pain in my neck, but thirty minutes later of taking the oil, I was surprised by how relaxed my body began to feel. The oil simply relaxed my body and made it easier for me to think about other matters than the pain in my body. I can’t honestly say it was 100% the oil. An hour later, I drifted off to sleep.

The next day, I was surprised by how at ease I felt. I didn’t feel the pain in my neck, but because it was the first night, I considered that I should take my time and remain consistent with my dosage to experience the full effects. I continued taking the oil once a day during the week.

Day two – Exhausted 

Was surprised that my neck pain was still at bay. I wasn’t sure why my neck hurt. It could be a mixture of things like sitting at a desk all day. Either way, I was happy that I no longer felt the pain. Didn’t really feel a huge difference today, but I was hoping to sleep better due to my constant exhaustion.

Day three – Dealing with Anxiety 

I hate to admit it, but I suffer from anxiety and paranoia. At work, I have had several deadlines, and with a cold and wet gloomy day, I never know how to focus on doing one thing. I’m constantly distracted by emails, the people around me, to the point that I am unable to really focus on one thing. However, this week, I felt more at ease and in control of my work.

After taking the oil for three days, I felt that it partially lessened my anxiety. It almost felt like a newfound sense of clarity and calmness that enabled me to focus.

Day four – Sleeping made easier 

I’m not much of a sleeper, maybe because I always have something on my mind. *Busy body* Taking this CBD oil made my body feel relaxed. I seemed to feel more comfortable and sleep a lot quicker than usual. Of course, there’s no telling whether a big life event would disrupt this newfound bliss, but I’d like to think it helped me on a day-to-day basis.

Day five – Realisation

Pretty much the same as day four. I felt more in-tuned with my feelings and thoughts. More interested in worrying about things I can deal with and leaving stuff I can’t change.

Day six – Monday  

Today was a weird feeling. I don’t feel like my anxiety completely vanished, but I felt more at ease than I’ve ever before. I felt a comforting, warm sense of calmness wash over me which is better than usual.

Day seven – Final Day

My final day, I decided that I would continue to take the CBD oil, mainly on days where I feel anxious or have muscle pain.

Final thoughts… 

After using CBD oil for a week straight, I will have to say that I am a true believer in the wellness of my mental health. Its calming effects are legit. The best thing is I get to sleep better and for someone that doesn’t sleep – this is a Godsend.
