CBD oil: what is it?
CBD oil is an essence obtained by extraction of Cannabidiol, an active substance from the hemp plant among the richest alongside tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). This is one of the most consumed forms of CBD.
Often, a
cbd oil is made from a mixture of Cannabidiol crystals with vegetable oils (olive oil, hemp seed oil, essential oil). To this, manufacturers add terpenes to refine the taste.
Furthermore, CBD oil is marketed in various concentrations. Unlike flowers which contain a low content of Cannabidiol (between 3% and 6%), CBD oil is a method of consumption which offers more
high concentration of CBD (5 to 30%).
Depending on the content and the desired effects, a greater or lesser number of drops can be consumed (read the bottle to find out the average recommended dose.).

CBD oil: what are the consumption methods?
There are different methods of consuming CBD oil. The most widespread is that by
sublingual route, that is to say directly under the tongue. It is more precise, because a dropper allows you to carefully control the quantity of oil absorbed.
In addition, it is the method of consumption that allows you to benefit more quickly from the effects and benefits of CBD. This begins to act approximately ten minutes after ingestion.
The other method of consuming CBD oil is by
oral route. This involves mixing the substance with a liquid or food to reduce the intensity of the taste.
Furthermore, CBD oil can be inhaled or used in the form of massage essence.
Indeed, massaging CBD oil on painful areas allows you to benefit from the effects of the product after a few minutes.

CBD oil: is it legal in France?
Due to its origin from cannabis or hemp, the
legality of CBD raises a lot of questions. However, since 2018, the law has authorized the sale and consumption of CBD under certain conditions.
Cannabidiol products can be sold and consumed, as long as the THC level contained in the hemp plants used is less than 0.2%. In addition, the marketing of products made from hemp flowers is prohibited.
However, this last condition was suspended at the start of 2022 by the Council of State. The sale and purchase of raw THC-free hemp leaves and flowers are now authorized.
Remember that the question of the legality of CBD essentially comes down to the difference between THC (psychotropic molecule contained in cannabis or hemp) and CBD. Since the THC content is almost non-existent (below 0.2),
CBD oil and other CBD products are legal in France.
