Can I Use CBD While in Recovery?

Cannabidiol or CBD — a non-euphoric extract of hemp — is lauded by many as a substance that can bring relief on the difficult path to recovery from addiction. Users claim that CBD helps to reduce cravings, calm anxiety, and lessen the physical pain that may have led to substance abuse in the first place.
As positive testimonials abound online, sites like Save on Cannabis have experienced a surge in CBD-related web traffic. But is the link between CBD and sobriety proven? And are you still considered “sober” if you use a cannabis extract on a regular basis?
CBD Is Not Marijuana
Using a cannabis derivative on the path to sobriety might seem a little counterintuitive. After all, isn’t marijuana a drug? Fortunately, knowledge about the cannabis plant and the many active compounds it contains helps us to understand the key differences between CBD as a compound and marijuana as a recreational drug.
CBD Is Derived from Hemp
CBD in the United States is sourced from hemp rather than marijuana. Hemp contains naturally low levels of THC — the compound in cannabis that gets you high — and high levels of the therapeutic, non-psychoactive cannabinoid CBD. By law, hemp can contain a maximum of .3% THC, not nearly enough to elicit a psychoactive response.
CBD Is Non-Addictive
Studies show that cannabidiol is not addictive. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is present in large amounts in marijuana, CBD does not significantly affect heart rate, blood pressure, or cognitive function and is not associated with patterns of abuse.
CBD Does Not Cause Impairment
CBD does not alter the senses or impair physical coordination like THC and marijuana. Rather, CBD might actually help with attention, improve memory, and protect key neurons in the brain. This differentiates CBD from alcohol and other substances that impair the user at certain thresholds.
How CBD and Sobriety Are Linked
Doctors do not yet have enough evidence to prescribe CBD for recovery, but studies so far look promising:
- A 2015 review indicated that CBD might be helpful in nicotine and cannabis use disorders.
- A 2018 preclinical rat study showed that transdermal CBD reduced addicted rats’ anxiety and reduced drug-seeking behaviors related to familiar triggers and stress.
- A 2019 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial showed that CBD was more effective than a placebo for reducing cue-induced craving and anxiety in participants with heroin use disorder.
- A 2019 review indicated that CBD may help to prevent cocaine and methamphetamine use disorders as well as helping to prevent a relapse.
- A 2019 double-blind study showed that CBD was more effective than a placebo for reducing symptoms of social anxiety disorder (SAD) in Japanese teenagers.
- Several peer-reviewed studies have shown that CBD may help with pain — including neuropathic pain and arthritis-related pain.
- Several peer-reviewed studies have shown that CBD is not habit-forming (i.e. addictive) by itself, even though marijuana often is.
Making the Best Decisions for Your Health
If you’re struggling with recovery from substance abuse, CBD may provide a suitable option for increasing your comfort level and staying clean. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when considering CBD and sobriety:
CBD Comes in Many Forms
The CBD industry is largely unregulated, and products vary in their composition. Choose a CBD product that is third-party lab-tested, accurately labeled, and free from THC if you live in a state or city where THC is illegal.
CBD Dosage Takes Time to Perfect
As a substance that acts to balance your body rather than provide an immediate “hit,” CBD can take time to produce any noticeable effects. Start with the lowest dose possible and gradually increase the dose until you find your “sweet spot.”
Your Friends and Family Might Not Understand
When you’re coming off alcohol and/or drugs, your loved ones might become concerned when they find out that you’re using a cannabis extract. To calm their doubts, learn as much as you can about the therapeutic benefits of CBD.
CBD and Sobriety: The Takeaway
While cannabidiol is definitely not a cure-all and further research is needed, this hemp-derived, non-addictive extract could be just the thing you need to help you on the path to recovery. For best results, consult with a knowledgeable healthcare practitioner and use only high-quality, lab-tested products.
Hemp
What is Industrial Hemp and What is it Used For?

One of the first known instances of humans using hemp dates back to over 10,000 years ago, when it was used in China to make fabrics, paper, and other textiles like rope. The widely used hemp for industrial and medicinal purposes was banned in the U.S. in 1937. In 2018 the Farm Bill opened hemp’s massive potential again, and it is only now regaining traction in the U.S. and elsewhere in the world as research is beginning to reveal the many benefits of hemp.
Industrial hemp is quite a common crop in the U.S. since it looks like marijuana, but the two are different plants, though they are both members of the cannabis family. Hemp is grown mainly for its seeds and fibers. Hemp fibers can be used to make ropes and fabrics, while its seeds can be pressed to produce oil. As with any product, the quality of the end product always starts from the source. In order to get the best yields and the best end products, a grower should utilize high-quality industrial hemp seeds.
1. What is Industrial Hemp?
Industrial hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species explicitly grown for non-drug or psychoactive purposes. It is a tall, leafy plant that can be used for various applications. In this blog post, you will get more information about industrial hemp and its uses around the world.
2. What is Industrial Hemp Used For?
- Hemp is used as a biofuel: As fuel prices soar with the recent sanctions on Russia, fuel sources are exhausted in much of the world, causing the supply to decrease and the demand to increase. Use cases for more sustainable alternative fuels are on the rise. With that being said, hemp can be converted to ethanol through a process called cellulolysis, where the cellulose is converted to sugars that can be fermented and distilled into fuel.
- Hemp is used as a food source: Hemp can be incorporated into the diet in a few ways. It can be added to oatmeal or yogurt, sprinkled over fresh salads, and cold-pressed into oil that can also be used to garnish a salad. It can also be added to baked goods such as bread and muffins.
- Hemp is used in medical treatments: Hemp is often used in the medical field to help with ailments like arthritis, asthma, warts, as well as many other medical conditions.
- Hemp is used to make clothing: Hemp has been used for hundreds of years as its fibers are strong and durable. Hemp has four times the strength of cotton, resists bacterial growth, and prevents bodily odors. It is also known to protect your skin from UV rays naturally.
Conclusion
Industrial Hemp is a versatile crop that can be used in a multitude of ways, ranging from the manufacturing of food products and clothing to the production of biofuels. Most people have seen or heard of hemp in the context of its legalization in the U.S. and the highly-publicized health benefits of phytocannabinoids like CBD. But hemp is a variety of the cannabis plant, which also contains marijuana. As a result, many people are confused about the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana and why the legalization of the former has led to renewed interest in the latter. We hope this blog post has given you a better understanding of industrial hemp.

Cigarettes Are Bad For You; Now There Is A Viable Alternative

Putting out a cigarette can help you live longer. Studies show that the more cigarettes you smoke in your lifetime, the more likely you will develop heart disease, which is currently the leading cause of death. The good news is when smoking rates decreased in the U.S., so did heart disease rates. Whether you have struggled with the addictive nature of cigarettes in the past or know someone who has, it can take a stranglehold on the life of the user. That is because nicotine is present in it, which is a highly addictive compound that keeps users coming back over and over again. This is a dangerous habit with very serious consequences.
Here are a handful of facts on just how dangerous smoking cigarettes are:
- Cigarettes have killed over 100 million people worldwide.
- Cigarette smoking is the number one risk factor that contributes to lung cancer, and lung cancer is responsible for more deaths than any other type of cancer.
- Smoking cigarettes makes you more vulnerable to getting diabetes, which is devastating for people of all ages. Cigarette smokers are about 30% to 40% more likely to develop diabetes than non-smokers.
- Because smoking narrows your arteries, it can trigger stroke. A stroke happens when the blood supply to your brain is temporarily blocked. Brain cells are deprived of oxygen and start to die. A stroke can cause paralysis, slurred speech, altered brain function, and death. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States and a significant factor contributing to adult disability.
- Smoking harms nearly every organ in your body, even your heart. Smoking can cause adverse effects on your cardiovascular system, including impaired circulation and increased blood pressure.
There have been several products out on the market that range from slow-release nicotine patches all the way to hypnotism. Some of them work well, while others are simply fads with very little science-backed evidence of effectiveness.
Now there is a product in the market with potential, and that is KHOOR. KHOOR Cigarettes are a Safe and Natural way to help you get rid of your Tobacco Cigarette Cravings. To maintain compliance with Federal and State regulatory requirements, these e-liquids are free of nicotine, tobacco derivatives, oils, and/or any other chemicals.
Conclusion
Suppose tobacco consumption rates continue to decrease at the rate they’ve been declining in recent years. In that case, the U.S. will see a concurrent reduction in the number of people developing coronary heart disease! While heart disease is still the leading cause of death among Americans, that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t celebrate every small step toward progress to make our nation healthier! Part of making this happen is exploring and supporting alternative cigarette companies and what they have to offer.
Have you tried to kick the tobacco smoking habit in the past? What were the methods or tactics you have tried and were they effective? We would love to hear from you on our social media accounts!

Hot New Products: Private Label CBD Gummies

Private Label CBD Gummies Are Quickly Becoming One Of The Hottest Products On The Market In Years.
Have you ever wondered what it’s like to catch a wave before it starts? One of the most up-and-coming industries with established roots is a subset of the private label supplement industry. CBD gummies have caught on as the wave of CBD-infused products increases by the day. With studies showing that millennials prefer the ease of a gummy for their health supplementation as compared to the pills of previous generations, it’s no wonder the expected hold from the gummy space has been unprecedented with no release in sight.
The reality remains that our bodies need vitamins, minerals and nutrients to not only survive but to thrive in a culture that demands every iota of energy for the increasing demand in the workplace. And adding CBD to your favorite gummy only increases the daily value.
Gummies Are Here To Stay
Gummies are here to stay and the reason for that is simple: making your medicine taste good is the only way to go. So if you’re given the option to be able to have a healthy, reliable, and better-tasting product wouldn’t you take it? One CBD gummy manufacturer stands out from the rest with its vision for servicing the rising wave. VitaPur Labs, a US-based gummy manufacturer believes gummies are here to stay, and for good reason. Back in the early stages of the private label CBD craze, gummies were merely sprayed with CBD isolates and oils. Now with the industry gaining steam, companies like VitaPur Labs are infusing these gummies with a whole slew of active ingredients to complement the added CBD. Multi-vitamins gummies, probiotic gummies, and keto gummies are just a few of the forward-leaning formulas VitaPur is infusing now with CBD. Offering multiple options for their clients to provide a smooth runway on the path to success, VitaPur offers custom and private label CBD gummies that set the standard for industry quality. With an industry-leading team, it’s no wonder VitaPur has been optimally positioned for long-term success and is an experienced resource.
Taking CBD Gummies To Get Your Nutrients
Dr. Sarah Brewer, had this to share from her vantage point as an industry resource as Medical Director of Healthspan, “For your gummy to be worthwhile, look for as wide a range of vitamins and minerals.” Gummies are a great way to get your micronutrients because only tiny amounts are needed to get your daily dose and adding CBD to these gummies works as a great complementary ingredient. Nutrients such as biotin, folic acid, and vitamin D can be present in gummies at levels of 100 percent of the EU NRV (nutrient reference value). With this in mind, VitaPur continues to offer valuable insight into the well-being of its clients by mixing these nutrients with a multitude of various cannabinoids. It’s no question there is a health crisis in our country, and making our multivitamin mixed with CBD just might be a step in the right direction.
