CBD oil and other CBD products are legal in Arkansas, provided that they contain less than 0.3% THC.
CBD, or cannabidiol is a compound derived from the cannabis plant. CBD has the potential to offer therapeutic benefits without psychoactive effects. It has shown promise in alleviating pain, reducing anxiety, and improving the quality of sleep. Research into CBD is still ongoing, but it has shown effectiveness in treating a variety of ailments. Before buying CBD in Arkansas, make sure to check the lab test results for each product to ensure that they are labeled accurately.
While Arkansas does not technically have a minimum age to purchase CBD, it is unlikely that a dispensary will sell CBD products to minors. This means that to purchase CBD, someone must be at least 18 years old.
Drug tests generally check for tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the compound that causes psychoactive effects. As a result, CBD itself should not show up on a drug test. However, due to inaccurate labeling of THC levels in products, consuming CBD products could cause someone to test positive for THC.
CBD gummies may contain trace amounts of THC.
A clinical trial found that CBD reached the maximum concentration in blood plasma around 4 hours. CBD usually lasts for twice as long as the peak time, meaning that if the maximum level of CBD in the blood is reached at 4 hours, the effects will last for 8 hours. Consuming CBD on an empty stomach can allow it to take effect faster.
There are certain medications that should be avoided when taking CBD. These include angiotensin II blockers, antiarrhythmics, anticoagulants, antibiotics, antidepressants, anticonvulsants, antiepileptics, antihistamines, antipsychotics, anesthetics, beta-blockers, benzodiazepines, calcium channel blockers, HIV antivirals, statins, immune modulators, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, oral hypoglycemic agents, proton-pump inhibitors, prokinetics, steroids, and corticosteroids.
A 2017 study showed that humans can safely tolerate up to 1,500 mg of CBD per day. However, it's important to keep in mind that CBD is in the early stages of research. While no death from overdoses have been reported, some have experienced side-effect from taking too much CBD, such as vomiting and nausea.
