Indopedia All Things Marijuana
By now you’ve probably heard about the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) oil. As a refresher, CBD is an active compound in marijuana that provides relief from a variety of maladies such as insomnia, nausea, epileptic seizures, pain and anxiety. CBD has even been shown to help clear acne. You can apply CBD oil to your skin, drop it under your tongue, or blend it into your morning smoothie to find relief from your symptoms.
CBD is non-intoxicating, which means you won’t feel stoned after consuming it. When taken orally, CBD can provide a subtle sense of relaxation that can be felt throughout the body. The anti-anxiety properties make CBD an ideal ingredient for balancing the over-stimulating effects of caffeine –- like in coffee or a matcha latte.
This CBD Oat Milk Matcha Latte uses CBD as an ingredient with matcha with the aim of boosting of energy without the jitters. If you’re curious about how much CBD to take, Dr. Michelle Weiner, an osteopathic physician affiliated with the Spine and Wellness Centers of America in Florida, has deemed 25 milligrams a day a “healthy wellness dose” for most people. Though, it’s never a bad idea to start low and slow. 10 – 15 milligrams per dose is a good place to start if you’re new CBD.
