Does CBD Oil Change Your Personality?

·

A lot of misconception about CBD is that it affects your personality. It’s mostly because CBD is associated with marijuana that can get you high. Does CBD oil change your personality? This is a common question by interested people who are confused by misconceptions. 

Does CBD Oil Change Your Personality?

CBD oil does not change your personality. It only affects your body and helps with some mental illnesses by making your body feel relaxed. CBD does not make you high and has a lot of medical benefits.

What Is CBD Oil?

CBD oil or Cannabidiol oil is a plant-based natural oil that has cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are molecules that can be found in our body when we feel good or relaxed and calm. They are also released when we do exercise or get a good sleep.

How Does CBD Oil Work?

The cannabinoids from the CBD oil interact with your body’s cannabinoid receptors that in turn affects your body. The two receptors that your body produces during these process are:

  • CB1 receptors - these are mainly found in your brain and are spread out throughout your body. These receptors affect your movement, pain, emotion, mood, appetite, and memories. 
  • CB2 receptors - these receptors are commonly found in the immune system. They mainly affect pain and inflammation. That’s why CBD is known for relieving pain in the body.
