Beginner’s Guide to CBD Oil

CBD oil was a game-changer for the legalization movement, and something anybody interested in marijuana should know about.

It’s something that’s been on everyone’s tongues lately, from A-list celebrities to health-conscious consumers.

Here, we provide you with a comprehensive resource so that you can quickly become an expert on how CBD oil works, and how to use it to your advantage.

Whether you’ve never tried CBD, tried it once or twice, or are a regular consumer, our CBD oil guide has the information you need to sound like an expert.

Let’s begin, shall we?

CBD Oil Guide: The Essentials

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a completely non-psychoactive, naturally occurring compound in the cannabis plant. Its popularity has been rising steadily in recent years for it claimed benefits.

CBD oil is extracted from hemp or marijuana plants. Both belong to the cannabis family (Cannabaceae).

It plays a large role in the regulation of the endocannabinoid system, the system in your body that uses cannabinoids produced by the body itself (such as anandamide).

The well-deserved popularity of CBD has given rise to an abundance of CBD goods available on the market.

This is because CBD oil is easy to use and has a high “bioavailability”.

Having a high bioavailability means it can enter the body efficiently, allowing smaller doses to remain effective.

Because CBD comes from both hemp and marijuana, it’s obvious that you may have some concerns about using CBD oil.

Don’t worry, we explain everything below. Before we head over to the meat of the article, it’s time for a short history lesson.

The History of CBD Oil

Cannabis is one of the earliest – if not the earliest – agricultural crops.

The first records of cannabis use date back 10,000 years.

Since then, the cannabis plant has been grown for food and textiles in many different cultures.

Traditionally, people used hemp fibers for making ropes and fabrics, the seeds for nutrition, and the flowers and resin for medicine.

Cannabis was a well-respected medicine among some of the greatest civilizations of the past.

As humans began to understand that different varieties of cannabis serve different purposes, they started cultivating both hemp and marijuana.

Hemp plants tend to grow tall, thin, and ‘fluffy’. Marijuana plants are short, bulky, and full of resinous aromatic flowers.

In 2737 BC, the Chinese emperor Shen-Nung used hemp oil topically for rashes and irritated skin.

When hemp arrived in Europe, it was used to make clothes, ropes, and even building materials.

Queen Victoria’s doctor, J.R. Reynolds, prescribed her a CBD-rich strain of marijuana to make her menstrual cramps more manageable.

At the beginning of the 20th century, particularly in the United States, marijuana plants were bred to contain rich concentrations of THC to make them more potent and psychoactive.

This thriving cannabis culture all came crashing down in the 1930’s with the start of the marijuana prohibition.

In the 1980’s, following the War on Drugs, President Reagan’s administration invested millions of dollars in studies that were aimed to prove that marijuana caused brain damage and cognitive impairment.

Not only did those studies fail to achieve the prejudiced politicians’ goals, it also led to the discovery of the endocannabinoid system in humans.

Today, researchers are rubbing their hands together to go all-in with the studies on CBD, THC, and other cannabinoids. They want to understand how it works, and what its limitations are.

There’s big money in that…

The CBD market alone is estimated to hit $2.1 billion by 2020 with $450 million of that generated by the hemp industry alone.

CBD Oil and the Endocannabinoid System

Although research on the endocannabinoid system (ECS) is still in its infancy, we’ve made huge progress in our understanding of CBD and the ECS. While we won’t bore you with the details, these advancements have allowed for increased adoption and the subsequent rise of the CBD market.

At this point, you’re probably wondering how to distinguish CBD oil from other products. So, let me put an end to your confusion.

What Does CBD Oil Look Like?

CBD oil typically comes in the form of a liquid tincture.

They’re designed for sublingual (under the tongue) consumption, or orally by swallowing the liquid.

It’s made by mixing the CBD extract with a food-grade oil such as MCT oil.

A carrier oil like MCT oil is required because CBD is fat-soluble. This means that it dissolves in fat instead of water, and allows the body to store it in fat tissues.

Consuming CBD along with fat increases the bioavailability of CBD oil.

Using CBD Oil

CBD tinctures are extremely easy to use.

All you have to do is place a few drops under your tongue, wait 30-60 seconds, and swallow– simple as that.

Additionally, you can add the drops to juice or tea and drink as normal.

The effects should be noticeable within several minutes after ingestion.

Determining High-Quality From Poor Quality CBD

It’s important to know how to tell the difference between high-quality CBD oil and poor-quality CBD oil.

A decent CBD oil usually comes in an amber-gold or pale-yellow color for CBD distillate and dark brown color for whole hemp extract, with clear consistency and free of any plant material.

Whenever you come across a CBD product that falls short of these requirements, its an instant red flag. 

CBD Oil Extraction: How It’s Done

The process behind extracting CBD oil from the plant is a lot like other plant extractions.

As mentioned, CBD can be extracted from both marijuana and hemp varieties of cannabis plants. Many companies source their Cannabidiol from industrial hemp plants to avoid legal issues from using THC-rich marijuana strains.

We can distinguish two common methods of CBD oil extraction:

1. Alcohol Extraction

Anything that’s soluble in fat is also soluble in alcohol. This means that we can efficiently pull CBD and cannabis terpenes out of the plant using simple drinking alcohol (ethyl alcohol).

This is a useful method of extracting CBD but is considered lower quality to supercritical CO2 extraction.

2. Supercritical CO2 extraction

Most self-respecting companies utilize supercritical CO2 extraction to produce CBD oil.

CO2 extraction involves filtering the gas through a number of temperature-controlled chambers under high pressure to create a special supercritical phase. While in this phase, CO2 behaves like both a gas AND a liquid. It also gives it extremely efficient solvent properties that essentially strip the chemicals out of the cannabis material.

Once the extraction is over, chemists use a special method called chromatography to get rid of any plant residue from the final products.

Sometimes, manufacturers will also extract terpenes and other chemical compounds to make “full-spectrum” CBD oil.

The Difference Between Hemp and Marijuana CBD Oil

A CBD oil guide wouldn’t be complete without highlighting the differences between hemp and marijuana CBD Oil

After all, one of the most popular questions among beginners is whether the source of the Cannabidiol makes a difference when it comes to its effect.

The short answer is “No.”

If you’re looking for a longer, more specific answer, we need to dig deeper into the cannabinoid and terpene content of marijuana- and hemp-derived CBD oil.

Hemp-derived CBD

Hemp is grown specifically to be rich in CBD and contain only trace amounts of THC (usually below 0.2 or 0.3%). Since cannabidiol is non-psychoactive, hemp-derived CBD allows you to experience an array of benefits offered by cannabis without making you feel high.

Marijuana-derived CBD

In most countries, marijuana is still illegal. The possession, cultivation, and distribution of marijuana can still get you prosecuted in some parts of the world like The Philippines or Malaysia.

Currently, you can buy marijuana-derived CBD oil in 9 US states for recreational use and in 31 states for medical use.

Some varieties of marijuana are specifically bred to elevate CBD content. We often measure the ratio between THC and CBD to give an idea of its effects and best uses. You can find marijuana strains with a 2:1 or even 1:1 THC to CBD ratio.

To cut the long story short, CBD is the same no matter the source. The effects of CBD oil, which depend on the whole cannabinoid content, can vary between hemp and marijuana-derived CBD – and so does the law.

What’s more crucial, is to select a product that’s sourced from pesticide-free plants because the harmful pesticide residues can make their way into the final product.

When choosing CBD oil, also make sure your supplier provides third-party lab test results with each batch of its products.

CBD Oil Guide: Dosage Instructions

If you’re looking for raw numbers, you’ve come to the wrong place.

Why?

Because there is no optimal CBD dosage that would suit everyone. CBD affects everyone differently.

For now, let’s focus on figuring out the potency of your CBD oil.

CBD tinctures usually come with a dropper. One full dropper contains around 1 mL of oil, which equals 20 drops. I recommend you count the first on, however, as they can vary between manufacturers slightly.

So, for example, if you have a 250 mg tincture in a 30mL (1 ounce) bottle, we calculate that 1 mL will contain about 8 mg CBD.

An ounce (30mL) of a 500 mg bottle, in turn, has approximately 16.6 mg of CBD per 1 mL, and a 1000 mg tincture comes with somewhere around 33 mg of CBD in 1 mL.

Based on these facts, you can estimate the amount of CBD by using the number of drops and CBD per mL.

Why Does CBD Affect Everyone Differently?

CBD dosage is going to be different between individuals. This has to do with several factors that impact the way CBD affects your body, including:

  • Genetic Predispositions
  • Gender
  • Biochemistry
  • Overall Health
  • Tolerance
  • Metabolism

Full-Spectrum CBD Oil vs. CBD Isolate: Which One Should I Choose?

When scrolling through a selection of CBD goods online, you may notice that some products are labeled as “99% pure CBD” or “CBD Isolate”. Others are listed as “full spectrum CBD extract”.

What’s the difference?

Let’s take a closer look at the key differences between these products and which one will work better for you.

1. Full-Spectrum CBD Oil

Simply put, full-spectrum CBD oil is the same concentrations of cannabinoids found in the original plant.

There are over 113 other cannabinoids in hemp and marijuana, plus the trichomes and buds on the cannabis flowers contain a range of terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals.

Here’s a list of additional compounds available in full-spectrum CBD extracts:

  • Omega-3 fatty acids
  • Vitamins E, A, and C,
  • Zinc and phosphorus
  • Iron and calcium
  • Magnesium and potassium

Studies have found that full-spectrum CBD oil is more effective than CBD isolate, which scientists described as “the entourage effect” [6].

The concept of the entourage effect is based on the theory that the cannabinoids, terpenes, and other compounds of the source plant can amplify each other’s effects.

2. CBD Isolate

A CBD isolate is 99% pure CBD, with no other cannabinoids, no terpenes, flavonoids, and extra compounds – just Cannabidiol.

Since CBD isolate is missing so many desirable ingredients, you may be thinking “it must be inferior to full-spectrum CBD extracts”.

In many cases, you would be correct, however, there are many people out there who actually prefer CBD isolates over full-spectrum extracts.

Here are 4 reasons why people may prefer a CBD isolate:

  • Isolates contain higher amounts of CBD per dose
  • A CBD isolate is completely THC-free (full-spectrum extracts contain < .03%)
  • You can precisely control the concentration of CBD in isolates
  • They are taste and odor-free; you can add CBD isolate to an edible product and use the benefits of Cannabidiol without feeling the distinct earthy taste of CBD oil.

Where to Buy CBD Oil

There are three places where you can find CBD oil for sale.

1. Online

You can buy CBD oil online, which we strongly recommend.

Buying online is easy, safe, and convenient; all it takes is a few clicks of a mouse and your products will be shipped to you within 1-3 business days on the average.

Besides, it’s easier to make a background check on your potential CBD oil supplier so that you can verify if the company can be trusted or not.

Those who need CBD oil in bulk can count on decent wholesale deals, too.

2. Local Dispensaries

If buying CBD online is not an option, you can try to get your bottle of CBD oil locally. CBD products are sold in dispensaries, which are government regulated retail stores.

Dispensaries allow users to buy CBD in person. If your state’s legislature doesn’t allow cannabis for recreational use, you’re going to need a medical cannabis card or, at least, a doctor’s recommendation.

3. Head Shops

For hemp-derived CBD goods, you can visit one of your local head shops or specialty retail stores like apothecaries or wellness centers. Similar to dispensaries, these types of stores provide CBD users with a wide range of hemp products and accessories.

One major drawback to be aware of when buying from head shops is that they aren’t regulated. This means the owner can actually sell anything he/she considers “high-quality”, even if it’s not.

As a result, there are many stores that sell oils and other supplements which contain no CBD at all, just to take advantage of the rapidly growing market.

Bottom Line

CBD oil is a versatile supplement that many people are incorporating into their lifestyle to enhance the quality of their lives.

CBD (and cannabis in general) have a long record of historical use, tracing back thousands of years.

It’s important to keep in mind CBD is not an officially approved drug; it’s classified as a dietary supplement. Therefore, if you suffer from a chronic health condition or are taking medications, discuss your intentions with a medical professional before adding CBD oil to your diet. CBD may interact with your medications.

BMI Calculator for Adults

Calculating BMI

BMI is a way of measuring a person’s weight relative to his or her height. BMI expresses how thick or thin a person is in simple numeric terms, and allows doctors and other health professionals to discuss weight objectively on a standardized scale.

BMI Formulas

This BMI calculator converts units to satisfy the following BMI formula calculations.

  • Metric units: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height2 (m)
  • US units: BMI = (weight (lb) ÷ height2 (in)) * 703

Normal Weight Range

Normal weight BMI is 18.5 to 24.9. To calculate your normal weight range use the following:

  • Metric units:
    minimum weight (kg) = 18.5 × height2 (m)
    maximum weight (kg) = 24.9 × height2 (m)
  • US units:
    minimum weight (lb) = (18.5 ÷ 703) × height2 (in)
    maximum weight (lb) = (24.9 ÷ 703) × height2 (in)

Example 1 (Calculating BMI in metric units)

Matilda weighs 64 kg and is 1.9 meters tall. What is her BMI?

  • BMI = w ÷ h2
  • BMI = 64 ÷ 1.92
  • BMI = 64 ÷ 3.61
  • BMI = 17.7

Example 2 (Calculating BMI in US units)

Stanley weighs 184 lb and is 5 feet, 10 inches tall. What is his BMI?

  • 5 feet, 10 inches = 70 inches
  • BMI = (w ÷ h2) * 703
  • BMI = (184 ÷ 702) * 703
  • BMI = (184 ÷ 4900) * 703
  • BMI = 0.3755 * 703
  • BMI = 26.4

Although BMI is calculated the same way worldwide for all ages, the way an individual’s BMI is interpreted depending on location and the person’s age:

  • In many Southeast Asian countries, the thresholds for the overweight and obese categories tend to be lower. For example, in Singapore and Hong Kong a BMI of 23.0 is considered overweight, whereas in the United States a BMI of 25 is considered overweight.
  • Children and adolescents are not evaluated using these thresholds at all, but are evaluated relative to others of the same age and gender:
body mass index for boys 2 to 20 years old
body mass index for girls 2 to 20 years old

Keep in mind that BMI is a ratio between height and total body weight – it does not differentiate between weight from muscle and weight from fat, nor does it consider an individual’s body frame type. BMI is one of several tools used to assess a person’s weight and overall health. If you are concerned about your weight, it is best to consult with your doctor or healthcare professional.

BMI formula calculator

The Body Mass Index (BMI) Calculator can be used to calculate BMI value and corresponding weight status while taking age into consideration. Use the “Metric Units” tab for the International System of Units or the “Other Units” tab to convert units into either US or metric units. Note that the calculator also computes the Ponderal Index in addition to BMI, both of which are discussed below in detail.

BMI introduction

BMI is a measurement of a person’s leanness or corpulence based on their height and weight, and is intended to quantify tissue mass. It is widely used as a general indicator of whether a person has a healthy body weight for their height. Specifically, the value obtained from the calculation of BMI is used to categorize whether a person is underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese depending on what range the value falls between. These ranges of BMI vary based on factors such as region and age, and are sometimes further divided into subcategories such as severely underweight or very severely obese. Being overweight or underweight can have significant health effects, so while BMI is an imperfect measure of healthy body weight, it is a useful indicator of whether any additional testing or action is required. Refer to the table below to see the different categories based on BMI that is used by the calculator.

BMI table for adults

This is the World Health Organization’s (WHO) recommended body weight based on BMI values for adults. It is used for both men and women, age 18 or older.

CategoryBMI range – kg/m2
Severe Thinness< 16
Moderate Thinness16 – 17
Mild Thinness17 – 18.5
Normal18.5 – 25
Overweight25 – 30
Obese Class I30 – 35
Obese Class II35 – 40
Obese Class III> 40

BMI table for children and teens, age 2-20

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends BMI categorization for children and teens between age 2 and 20.

CategoryPercentile Range
Underweight<5%
Healthy weight5% – 85%
At risk of overweight85% – 95%
Overweight>95%

Risks associated with being overweight

Being overweight increases the risk of a number of serious diseases and health conditions. Below is a list of said risks, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

  • High blood pressure
  • Higher levels of LDL cholesterol, which is widely considered “bad cholesterol,” lower levels of HDL cholesterol, considered to be good cholesterol in moderation, and high levels of triglycerides
  • Type II diabetes
  • Coronary heart disease
  • Stroke
  • Gallbladder disease
  • Osteoarthritis, a type of joint disease caused by breakdown of joint cartilage
  • Sleep apnea and breathing problems
  • Certain cancers (endometrial, breast, colon, kidney, gallbladder, liver)
  • Low quality of life
  • Mental illnesses such as clinical depression, anxiety, and others
  • Body pains and difficulty with certain physical functions
  • Generally, an increased risk of mortality compared to those with a healthy BMI

As can be seen from the list above, there are numerous negative, in some cases fatal, outcomes that may result from being overweight. Generally, a person should try to maintain a BMI below 25 kg/m2, but ideally should consult their doctor to determine whether or not they need to make any changes to their lifestyle in order to be healthier.

Risks associated with being underweight

Being underweight has its own associated risks, listed below:

  • Malnutrition, vitamin deficiencies, anemia (lowered ability to carry blood vessels)
  • Osteoporosis, a disease that causes bone weakness, increasing the risk of breaking a bone
  • A decrease in immune function
  • Growth and development issues, particularly in children and teenagers
  • Possible reproductive issues for women due to hormonal imbalances that can disrupt the menstrual cycle. Underweight women also have a higher chance of miscarriage in the first trimester
  • Potential complications as a result of surgery
  • Generally, an increased risk of mortality compared to those with a healthy BMI

In some cases, being underweight can be a sign of some underlying condition or disease such as anorexia nervosa, which has its own risks. Consult your doctor if you think you or someone you know is underweight, particularly if the reason for being underweight does not seem obvious.

Limitations of BMI

Although BMI is a widely used and useful indicator of healthy body weight, it does have its limitations. BMI is only an estimate that cannot take body composition into account. Due to a wide variety of body types as well as distribution of muscle, bone mass, and fat, BMI should be considered along with other measurements rather than being used as the sole method for determining a person’s healthy body weight.

In adults:

BMI cannot be fully accurate because it is a measure of excess body weight, rather than excess body fat. BMI is further influenced by factors such as age, sex, ethnicity, muscle mass, and body fat, and activity level, among others. For example, an older person who is considered a healthy weight, but is completely inactive in their daily life may have significant amounts of excess body fat even though they are not heavy. This would be considered unhealthy, while a younger person with higher muscle composition of the same BMI would be considered healthy. In athletes, particularly bodybuilders who would be considered overweight due to muscle being heavier than fat, it is entirely possible that they are actually at a healthy weight for their body composition. Generally, according to the CDC:

  • Older adults tend to have more body fat than younger adults with the same BMI.
  • Women tend to have more body fat than men for an equivalent BMI.
  • Muscular individuals and highly trained athletes may have higher BMIs due to large muscle mass.

In children and adolescents:

The same factors that limit the efficacy of BMI for adults can also apply to children and adolescents. Additionally, height and level of sexual maturation can influence BMI and body fat among children. BMI is a better indicator of excess body fat for obese children than it is for overweight children, whose BMI could be a result of increased levels of either fat or fat-free mass (all body components except for fat, which includes water, organs, muscle, etc.). In thin children, the difference in BMI can also be due to fat-free mass.

That being said, BMI is fairly indicative of body fat for 90-95% of the population, and can effectively be used along with other measures to help determine an individual’s healthy body weight.

BMI FORMULA

Measurement UnitsFormula and Calculation
Kilograms and meters (or centimeters)Formula: weight (kg) / [height (m)]2The formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. If height has been measured in centimeters, divide by 100 to convert this to meters.
Pounds and inchesFormula: 703 x weight (lbs) / [height (in)]2When using English measurements, pounds should be divided by inches squared. This should then be multiplied by 703 to convert from lbs/inches2 to kg/m2.

Delhi Metro starts cleaning and maintenance work, prepares detailed social distancing norms for resumption of services

New Delhi: Protocols for social distancing and other safety norms are being worked upon for passengers for using trains and station premises whenever services are ordered to be resumed, officials said on Wednesday.

The Delhi Metro is closed since 22 March when the Janata Curfew was imposed in the wake of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), in a statement, said it is working out detailed cleaning and maintenance procedures in view of the pandemic.

“The exercise will be extremely exhaustive as it involves cleaning and maintenance of 264 stations, over 2,200 coaches and over 1,100 escalators and 1,000 lifts etc,” it said.

Apart from this, a protocol for social distancing is being worked upon for passengers once they again start using trains and other metro premises.

However, the date of opening of the Delhi Metro has still not been finalised and will be notified to the public in due course of time, the statement said.

All systems of the metro, including signalling, electrical, rolling stock and tracks, will have to be tested in detail before services are ultimately started to ensure full safety for commuters, it said.

Delhi Metro authorities have already trained their housekeeping and other staff to adhere to enhanced safety norms to make them ready to do their jobs whenever the services are ordered to be resumed, officials had said on Tuesday.

The total number of coronavirus cases in the national capital on Wednesday mounted to 7,998 with 359 new cases, while the death toll mounted to 106.

Methylxanthines | Benefit for coronavirus infected

अमेरिका के विख्यात CNN NEWS CHANNEL के अनुसार, चीन के विख्यात कॉरोना वायरस विशेषज्ञ Dr. Li Wenliang अपनी मृत्यु के पूर्व यह कह गए हैं कि ३ केमिकल Methylxanthine, Theobromine एवं Theophylline कॉरोना वायरस को मार सकते हैं, और ये तीन कैमिकल ही चाय में पाए जाते हैं। इस लिए यदि कोई दिन में तीन कप चाय पीते हैं, तो वे कॉरोना वायरस के संक्रमित नहीं होंगे अथवा यदि कोई संक्रमित व्यक्ति चाय पीते हैं तो कुछ ही दिनों में वे संक्रमण मुक्त हो जाएंगे। इस सत्य को Dr. Li Wenliang ने कॉरोना रोगियों की Case History Study का अध्ययन कर के अविष्कार किया है।यह सत्य उजागर करने के लिए चीन सरकार ने उन्हें सजा दिया था। दुख का विषय यह है कि Dr. Li Wenliang की मृत्यु कॉरोना से अक्रान्त हो कर ही हुई थी। चाय के अन्दर जो Caffine होता है, वही Methylxanthine है और दो अन्य कैमिकल भी चाय में ही पाए जाते हैं।चीन के हुवान प्रान्त में कॉरोना रोगियों को तीन बार चाय पिलाए जाते थे, तभी आज चीन कॉरोना मुक्त हो पाया है। यह कितना सत्य है यह तो नहीं मालूम मगर इस शेयर को प्राप्त होते ही समस्त ग्रूपों में शेयर किए जा रहे हैं यदि यह सत्य होता है तो अनेकों के लिए लाभदायक सिद्ध होगा।

What are Methylxanthines?

Methylxanthines are a unique class of drug that are derived from the purine base xanthine. Xanthine is produced naturally by both plants and animals. The methylxanthines, theophylline, and dyphylline are used in the treatment of airways obstruction caused by conditions such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, or emphysema. Caffeine (present in coffee) and theobromine (present in chocolate) are also methylxanthines.

Theophylline is the most well known and most commonly used methylxanthine. At low dosages, it has an immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and bronchoprotective effect. Higher dosages are needed for its bronchodilator effect; however, higher dosages are often associated with toxicity.

Experts are not sure exactly how methylxanthines work but research has shown they inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase, antagonize adenosine receptors, and at lower dosages, their effects on histone deacetylase activity are believed to contribute to their immunomodulatory effects.

The main role of theophylline and dyphylline is to help maintain good airway control in chronic, persistent, airways disease.
