Can I get CBD from juicing raw cannabis?
By juicing or ingesting raw, unheated cannabis, you consume THC and the other cannabinoids in their acid form. A CBD-rich strain contains CBD-acid (CBDA), which, when heated, becomes CBD. Unheated CBDA & THCA (acid form) both have medicinal attributes but have not been scientifically researched in depth.
Will I fail a drug test if I medicate with CBD-rich cannabis?
Yes, you may fail a test even if you experience no mood-altering effects from your CBD medicine. Drug tests identify THC, not CBD or other cannabinoids. If you medicate with CBD that has trace amounts of THC, the THC may register on the drug test.
Does cannabis interact with other medications?
Yes, It inhibits the cytochrome P450 enzyme, which is involved in metabolizing many drugs. Grapefruit inhibit the same enzyme group which is why it should not be consumed shortly before or after taking a medication. By inhibiting the cytochrome P450, CBD can either reduce or increase the effects of other drugs. In some situations, it may be advisable for a physician to monitor a patient’s blood levels on medication while taking Cannabis products.
