Is It Safe To Use CBD Oil Before Vaping THC?
Rem Asked
Is it okay to consume CBD oil then smoke THC vape?
Summary
Answer
Thanks for the question!
We've written extensively about this interaction before, so be sure to check our previous post on this topic! That being said there is exciting new research to discuss as well!
Using CBD oil before vaping THC can potentially affect your body's response to THC.
THC vs CBD
CBD and THC are both cannabinoids found in cannabis, but they have different effects on the body. CBD is known to have calming and relaxing properties, while THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis.
THC and CBD Drug-Interaction
When CBD and THC are used together, CBD can potentially modify the effects of THC. CBD has been reported to reduce some of the adverse effects of THC, such as anxiety, paranoia, and rapid heartbeat. It may also help to counteract some of the cognitive impairment caused by THC.
New research contradicts this and clarifies the interactions between THC and CBD, when they are ingested orally in edible form. The study’s findings suggest that high enough doses of CBD inhibit the metabolism of THC when the two are consumed together, leading to increased effects than when the same dose of THC is consumed without CBD.
It's important to note that the effects of combining CBD and THC can vary from person to person. The interaction between these cannabinoids can be complex and may depend on factors such as:
- Pretreatment vs coadministration
- CBD-to-THC ratio
- Individual sensitivity
- Route of administration
- Dosage
If you are considering using CBD oil before vaping THC, it's always best to start with low doses and monitor your response. It's also important to be aware of the legality of cannabis and cannabis-derived products in your area, as regulations may vary based on your location.
I would strongly recommend discussing your specific situation with your healthcare provider, as they can provide personalized advice based on your medical history and current medication regimen. They can help you make an informed decision about using CBD oil before vaping THC and ensure your safety and well-being. I hope this helps answer your question!
