Will I get high? What are the physical side effects of CBD?
The Quick Answer:
CBD does not have the typical high associated with THC so the short answer is NO you will not get high. The THC that does have psychoactive effects has been primarily removed. You may not notice any physical effects from CBD other than a feeling of calm and possible dry mouth but you most likely notice the absence of negative ailments within your body. You may notice that you don’t feel things like pain, nausea, fatigue, anxiety or depression. It is similar to taking an aspirin for a headache. You won’t notice anything other than maybe the absence of your headache. It would be the same as asking if you will get high eating hemp seeds.
