Frequently Asked Questions

Let's start with the basics, the definition! CBD, or more precisely cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid and thus a molecule found in the hemp flower. Yes, hemp is simply the general term for cannabis. Its scientific name is Cannabis Sativa.

Did you know that the hemp flower contains over 113 distinct cannabinoids with different properties? The most notable being THC (Delta9-THC or Delta8-THC), which is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis, so you definitely know it! But there is also CBD, which does not have these effects but remains a major component of this plant with a multitude of beneficial effects that we will explain later.

It is important to know that the human brain has a multitude of receptors, such as the one for dopamine. It is called the pleasure hormone and thus provides... pleasure! Our brain even has neuronal receptors specifically dedicated to cannabinoids! Simple coincidence or well-designed nature?

Numerous scientific studies demonstrate the benefits of CBD on the psyche as well as on the body. To date, our knowledge is still limited, particularly regarding the mechanisms of action, but science is advancing rapidly, and we have already learned a lot about the secrets of this cannabinoid.

CBD molecules bind to various types of receptors (serotonin, anandamide, adenosine). This mechanism promotes the activation of these receptors, which are involved in several processes, such as reducing anxiety and stress, pain, and promoting sleep. As you can see, CBD is a true natural anxiolytic!

The benefits don't stop there! Beyond the feeling of euphoria and relaxation caused by CBD's mechanism of action, it has been shown to have a beneficial effect on the regulation of cardiovascular functions. So, why deprive yourself?

Of course, all these processes will depend on the concentration of CBD you introduce into your body!

Although medical cannabis is already used in many countries in Europe and around the world: Netherlands, Germany, United Kingdom, Portugal, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Canada, Israel, Chile, Colombia, etc., and 33 states in the United States.

Cannabidiol or CBD is not a medicine in France, however, legislation is progressing rapidly. Indeed, the medical cannabis experiment began on March 26, 2021, in France for a period of 2 years in patients suffering from serious illnesses (multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, etc.).

Thus, its use cannot be prescribed by a doctor in France. Currently considered a food supplement, CBD cannot be covered by health insurance or your mutual insurance company.
