Is CBD Infused Coffee Safe to Drink
CBD oil has recently started to make the news as a method of relieving stress, reducing anxiety, reducing pain, causing weight loss, a treatment for drug addictions, as a treatment for insomnia, and more, but what many people are asking is; is it safe for everyone to drink CBD coffee? Are there some people who should refrain from drinking this coffee?
CBD Not THC
The first thing that you have to know about CBD infused coffee is that the coffee is infused with a chemical component derived and extracted from the cannabis plant. Yes the marijuana plant. CBD infused coffee does not alter your mind or get you ‘high’ because the chemical agent in the cannabis plant that causes you to have mind altering effects is the THC.
You want to drink CBD coffee that has no THC in it if you want to make sure that your CBD infused coffee is perfectly safe for everyone to drink. If there is THC in the coffee along with the CBD oil then it is possible that a person could become ‘high’ or have mind altering effects after drinking the coffee that could make them:
- Sleepy or drowsy
- Unsteady on their feet
- It could lower your blood pressure
- It could create nausea
- It could cause headaches
- Some people with Parkinson’s disease could see an increase in their tremors.
- Extremely thirsty
- Unsafe to operate a motor vehicle or heavy equipment.
The CBD infused coffee that has no THC does still have some possible adverse side effects on some people. CBD oil has been found to inhibit some of the enzymes produced by the liver that help you to metabolize some of the medications that you take for health conditions. Drinking CBD infused coffee may alter or change the way your body uses your medications or the way your body responds to medications that you take on a daily basis.
If you are taking some medications and have any concerns about how CBD oil might affect you then ask your pharmacist or your physician whether the CBD oil will have an adverse effect on you.
Can Children Drink CBD Oil Infused Coffee?
CBD oil has been effectively use to help treat health conditions that children suffer from. One of the most prominent cases concerns a child named Charlotte who suffered from epileptic seizures. This child was having as many as three hundred seizures a week and had been so affected by those seizures that she could no longer, eat, drink, talk, or be mobile without assistance. The doctors were baffled and they had tried all of the conventional treatments to stop the child from having these seizures. Charlotte was only six years old and the doctors were basically giving up on finding a way to stop her from having these debilitating seizures.
Her mother went and purchased some CBD oil and began to give it to the child. Once she began to give her daughter the CBD oil she noticed that the frequency of the seizures was reduced. The seizure frequency was so drastically reduced that Charlotte began to only have one seizure a week. This particular mix of CBD oil is now referred to as ‘Charlotte’s Web’.
The Safety of CBD Oil
CBD oil is considered safe for use. It is safer than the majority of pharmaceutical medications are to use. There are very few side effects from CBD oil and the side effects that people report are not considered to be dangerous.
It is recommended that before you begin to use any supplement, or vitamin, or before you start any exercise program, or diet that you check with your doctor and make sure that it is safe for you to use.
