Since Honesy believes strongly in its educational mission, and CBD is getting its fair share of mainstream acceptance, we would like to introduce a guide to explain CBD's inner workings, culture, and usage tutorial in detail.
Check out our table of contents if and when you want to familiarise yourself with everything CBD and its not-so-distant cannabinoid cousins - CBN and CBG.
Table of Contents
This guide will be broken into six sections:
Guide Section 1: CBD Basic Information
In this section, we will describe the phenomenon of CBD - its chemistry in broad strokes, its medicinal uses, and its growing popularity.
What is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is the second most abundant cannabinoid in cannabis, after THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Whereas THC is psychoactive and constitutes most illegal cannabis substances and drugs - CBD has no psychoactive component, and it won’t get you high.
In humans and animals, CBD has shown promise as a treatment for a wide variety of ailments, notably anxiety, depression, pain, inflammation, sleep disorders and cancer.
Unlike cannabis and THC, CBD doesn’t impair coordination, judgment, or memory. In a Critical Review Report published in 2018, the World Health Organization concluded that there was “no evidence of recreational use of CBD or any public health-related problems associated with the use. CBD has been gaining momentum and is now applied for intake in various forms as a remedy.
The most popular emerging forms are:
- Oil
- Gummies
- Capsules
- Topicals or Cosmetics.
Where does CBD come from?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a phytocannabinoid discovered in 1940. Being one of 113 identified cannabinoids inside cannabis plants, it accounts for up to 40% of the plant’s extract. CBD is primarily extracted from the Cannabis sativa strain of cannabis plant species. It is found in the plant’s resinous flowers and has a unique chemical profile that catches the attention of academics and medics alike. Currently, major organisations like World Health Organization are conducting research into this minuscule molecule, learning along the way the possible benefits it may hold for consumers. The most notable feature of CBD and its apparent popularity is that, unlike another closely related cannabinoid, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it does not cause the “high” often associated with cannabis consumption.
Thus, it is paramount to be aware that the difference between THC and CBD is usually labelled as percentages in a particular strain and a product of the Cannabis sativa strain.
The Different CBD Types
Since oils and other CBD products extracted from marijuana are referred to as cannabis oil and not CBD oil, we will focus exclusively on CBD derived from Cannabis sativa hemp, which is a product made from an isolate or distillate called CBD oils.
- Isolates and distillates. CBD isolate products are the basis for every other modern and approved CBD product. It is the stepping stone in creating a vast selection of CBD products in various forms, tastes, and other nutritional and medicinal properties. Distillates, on the other hand, are what Honesy prides itself on using in the creation of its state-of-the-art products. The main difference here between an isolate and a distillate is that when distilling, the raw material is saturated with herbal extracts and other additives for more variety in taste and property.
- Full-spectrum CBD. In other words, it is the same as a “whole plant CBD”. It includes every biochemical substance that naturally occurs and is presented within the cannabis plant itself. This means the plant holds terpenes, flavonoids, vitamins, amino acids, minerals, and every available cannabinoid in various percentages (more on other cannabinoids, Honesy will be supplying - later).
- Broad-spectrum CBD. Broad-spectrum CBD oils are the same as their full-spectrum counterparts, though without any THC material - the THC at this level is fully removed. Mainly, broad-spectrum CBD oils are used for medicinal purposes, as there are no risks involved with even the slightest chance of THC residue contained within.
- CBD-infused products. Some products are described as being infused with CBD isolate, a full-spectrum, or broad-spectrum CBD oil. This means an adequately labelled CBD product must specify the CBD ingredient and its nature. Whether the product is infused with any of the three substances mentioned above, it is essential to note this - the substance-infused produces a different effect and wanted outcome.

Guide Section 2: Other Cannabinoids Found in Cannabis Plants
Besides CBD, there are a plethora of other cannabinoids that can be found inside Cannabis sativa plants. For our purposes, we will review a few of those, which will be included in Honesy CBD products - compounds that will enrich our products and will put Honesy ahead of the curve. These are: CBN (cannabinol) and CBG (cannabigerol).
What is CBN?
CBN (cannabinol) is another non-psychoactive cannabinoid, and it won’t get you high. Users report a deeply relaxing quality that helps to fall and stay asleep, which is why it is gaining popularity globally as a natural sleep aid and insomnia treatment.
CBN is primarily found in aged and stored cannabis hemp matter. It is also the first cannabinoid ever extracted - in the late 1800s. It was achieved by isolating as a by-product of THC degradation. Thus, all THC becomes CBN when exposed to heat or oxygen, in other words, when THC starts to age.
What is CBG?
CBG is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid and a form of cannabigerol acid, which is the main substance from which other cannabinoids are primarily synthesised. It won’t make you high. CBG also serves as a catalyst for other cannabinoids, which in effect, makes it very important when creating entourage effects in CBD products.
CBG has many potential therapeutic benefits, including antibacterial, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory qualities. It seems very effective when tackling serious diseases and sicknesses, such as cancer, MRSA, and glaucoma. Moreover, it is CBG’s main benefit to the human body is stimulating appetite and slowing down cell degeneration which in turn acts out as a dietary supplement for anxiety relief.
Honesy and Other Cannabinoids
Honesy has opted to use these three cannabis compounds for a wider texture of CBD product properties and tackled functions - all of it is based on current science-proof data. Every cannabinoid chosen is to enrich our CBD products, make them more accessible and towering above casual CBD goods out there.

Guide Section 3: How the Human Body Reacts to CBD, and CBG, CBN Products?
Still, the very explorable and mysterious human body holds an entire system of neurotransmitters that control the functional responses of cannabinoids within the human body. This system is called the endocannabinoid system. Such is the primary function of the endocannabinoid system that without it, we would not function at all - it is the main driving motor for moment-to-moment bodily responses - our memory, learning capabilities, sleep quality, pain and temperature oversight, emotional processing and so on.
What is the Endocannabinoid System?
The Endocannabinoid system is a biological system within humans which is composed of neurotransmitters called endocannabinoids that bind cannabinoid receptors, and the cannabinoid receptor system is made of proteins that span throughout the vertebrate central nervous system and peripheral nervous system.
Cannabinoid receptors in our bodies are composed of CB1 and CB2 receptors:
- CB1 receptors act as a guiding mechanism for most other neurotransmitters. By immediate feedback, they regulate the activity of different systems, for example, by managing hunger. To stimulate various receptors, an organism produces endocannabinoids similar to cannabinoid molecules found in cannabis plants.
- CB2 receptors mostly habitat within our immune system, which is critical for vertebrate immune functioning. Thus, it is clearly linked to managing pain and inflammation. CB2 receptors, while stimulated, do not produce the cannabis “high” effect - they are the primary focus of research in drug intake, management, and development.
Endocannabinoid System’s role in Bodily Functions
The endocannabinoid system’s main operational targets are learning, memory and hunger, which, as it happens, are the most crucial research themes in understanding cannabinoid interactivity with the human body.
- Role in learning and memory. The cycle of forgetting and memorising has always played a crucial role in humans. It is a mechanism for preventing the human brain from overloading with enormous amounts of data. Mainly every research conducted about cannabis and THC effects neurologically always outputs a conclusive side effect of short-term memory loss. Abstinence from THC-filled cannabis products returns memory to normal. Functional brain imaging shows just that. Whereas CBD products, while still having a similar effect, help to relieve tension and are highly successful in treating PTSD, hence, triggering the endocannabinoid system in the way of relief and not endangering the brain with permanent short-term memory loss.
- Role in hunger management. Cannabis that has the usual “high” associated with it, the THC-filled variety, is known for causing “munchies”. All of it is triggered by stimulating the CB1 receptors. Hence, to lose weight and accelerate metabolism, CB1 receptors should be blocked, and CB2 ones awakened. CBD products without a trace of THC, like the ones produced by Honesy, create this effect. As a result, all the excess hunger is forgone in place of lowering stress and managing hunger more sufficiently.
Guide Section 4: Relevant Scientific Data in CBD Usage
Most appreciated and reliable research done by health scientists around the globe, for example, one surveyed by SingleCare depicts the following statistics on age groups related to CBD usage:
CBD user demographics skew young. Of all age groups, Americans aged 18-29 are most likely to use CBD consistently, and its popularity decreases with age. (Gallup, 2019):
- 20% of people ages 18-29 use CBD
- 16% of people ages 30-49 use CBD
- 11% of people ages 50-64 use CBD
- 8% of people age 65 and older use CBD
And the numbers nearly double for adults who have tried it once or more. According to the 2019 Consumer Reports CBD survey:
- 40% of people ages 18-29 have tried CBD
- 32% of people ages 30-44 have tried CBD
- 23% of people ages 45-59 have tried CBD
- 15% of people 60 and older have tried CBD
For Elder People
Since CBD predominantly alleviates ailments, and the elderly around the world are the age group that suffers from various ailments the most, the broader sense of CBD utility applies to the elder age group the most. The following list reviews the topics people in general, and seniors especially, benefit from:
1. Anxiety - it would seem CBD helps with serotonin response, in all fairness, with stress reduction.
2. Neurodegenerative disorders - CBD lowers overall inflammation, strengthening resistance to strokes and dementia.
3. Mental health and mood-related disorders - CBD interact with brain receptors responsible for mood regulation.
4. Sleep quality - CBD promotes calmness and relaxation, increasing sleeping time and quality.
5. Pain management - CBD helps alleviate chronic pains and inflammation.
6. Bone health - CBD promotes bone cell repair.
7. Addiction and dependence - CBD helps combat dependencies while reducing pain just as good as opiates do.
8. Heart health - CBD combats high blood pressure directly and provides antioxidant properties for lowering cardiac inflammation.
9. Cancer treatment - both cancer symptoms and side effects from cancer treatment are alleviated by CBD.
10. Appetite stimulation - cannabis products help manage appetite imbalances, whether the appetite would skew too high or too low.
For Minors
During the past few years, there have been attempts to define CBD effects on the minor population and CBD allowance for children, although parents increasingly turn to CBD to help their children focus, calm down and sleep.
The World Health Organisation report on CBD “abuse” concludes that CBD has no intrinsic potential for abuse or dependency. Therefore, it goes entirely under the parents’ discretion and common sense whether to allow their children verifiable CBD product use.
What are the main benefits that children could benefit from concerning CBD use?
1. Anxiety relief - anxiety permeates children just the same as any other age group. Thus, CBD can relieve distress considerably.
2. Combating Autism Spectrum side disorders - there are a few studies that promote the notion of CBD helpfulness against problematic behaviour of children on the spectrum.
Guide Section 5: CBD Product Types
Now that we have considered every implementation system of CBD material - distillates and isolates, full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD, CBD infused produce - it is time to review the different delivery systems, that is - CBD product types.
CBD products differ in every detectable sensory aspect - taste, colour, size, form, etc. They also differ in ways to take them, depending on a particular personal whim and/or need. The main types noticeable within the CBD industry today are CBD oils, CBD topicals and cosmetics, CBD capsules, and CBD gummies. All these types are provided by the Honesy brand, arranged, and displayed at our e-shop.
CBD Oil
Currently, CBD oils are the most prominent way to consume CBD products. In the form of tinctures, CBD oils vary in flavour, texture, medicinal properties, and strength of effect. Usually used in the mornings after getting out of bed or in the evenings before turning in, CBD oils comprise the most considerable usage margin of error. This means that CBD oil dosage can be easily modified, depending on the wanted effect or the result a consumer is experiencing.
CBD Gummies
CBD gummy popularity relates to the fact that almost every human being prefers a particularly sweet. Thus, the CBD industry, and in this instance - Honesy - obliges. Many edible CBD products, specifically CBD gummies, are packaged in a way to appeal to all generations. While laws still pertain to requirements of minimum age to purchase cannabis products, the constant liberalisation agenda for everything CBD will reach the point where a younger client base can enjoy CBD products as well. CBD gummies are exceptionally convenient for travelling purposes.
CBD Capsules
Consumed orally and metabolised in the gut, CBD capsules are a fast way to intake a larger dosage of CBD oil since the capsules quickly dissolve. Their popularity mainly stems from the fact that it is the most effective way to consume everything beneficial-CBD. Exact serving sizes are always welcome, which is the primary goal of choosing CBD capsules. While dissolving quite quickly, CBD capsules take longer to take effect, though capsules always deliver the maximum amount of it. For these reasons, it is always advisable to eat before taking CBD capsules so that CBD in your stomach lining lingers as long as the CBD product takes effect.
CBD Cosmetics / Topicals
Especially popular among women, CBD cosmetics include products like skin creams, face masks, lip balms, patches, and so on. These types of CBD products help regulate oil production on the skin, for example, reducing acne. They also minimise overall skin inflammation and provide hydration and moisturisation. Being a topical, a specific CBD cosmetical item can target an exact area of discomfort - thus, it does not trigger the endocannabinoid system. CBD cosmetics and topicals deliver localised pain relief and inflammation reduction for the primary benefit of skincare.
Guide Section 6: How to Traverse CBD Market + Effective Usage Guide
Be mindful of the Entourage Effect!
The entourage effect is an observed phenomenon that states the maximum effectiveness of CBD intake when taken with an entire number of natural components found within the source plant - terpenes, flavonoids and the vast spectrum of cannabinoids. The positive amplification of the inherent CBD good and the optimal management of undesirable effects such as tolerance. Since most of the effects and interactivity between various components of CBD products are still a bit of a mystery, the entourage effect is always relevant and scientifically approachable. Many additives to CBD products that come after the extraction procedures give rise to an even bigger configuration of terpenes and other compounds. Thus, the entourage effect is the benchmark that serious and top-quality CBD businesses, Honesy included, aspire to - to retain as much native phytochemical makeup as possible.
A List for Each and Every CBD User
In this part, we will present you with general advice in the form of a numbered list - on how to investigate and traverse CBD markets safely and effectively, as well as the usage guide for the proper CBD dosage delivery.
Without further ado, let us delve into it, shall we?
Picking and Understanding a CBD Product
1. Seek out CBD products that stem from high-resin cannabis plants grown sustainably in accordance with any necessary regulated organic standards.
2. Try to avoid products that contain CBD additives, rather than full-spectrum or broad-spectrum products that contain precisely described CBD and/or THC percentages within their composition.
3. Also, delve more profoundly, and understand what amount of CBD and other cannabinoids a single dosage hold.
4. Especially in the case of Honesy, you can always look up the chemical structure and the nature of the CBD plant chosen for the batch.
5. Additives that diminish the quality of your chosen CBD product are corn syrups, artificial colours, and other toxic thinning agents, such as propylene glycol and polyethene glycol.
6. In the case of Honesy, never be afraid to contact us about a specific CBD product, its defining qualities, medicinal properties, and its recommended use culture.
CBD Dosages
1. When taking CBD oils, generally, the onset for these tinctures can span between 15 minutes and an hour. CBD oils and tinctures should be placed under the tongue with a dropper, thus, absorbing the compounds most quickly.
2. If indulging in CBD cosmetics and topicals, they generally target localised pains and not the whole body. Hence, only a specific part of the human body exterior should be treated.
3. Concerning CBD capsule usage, be mindful of the onset period. Capsules, being a slowly digested substance, should be given their fair time to take effect. Absorbed through the gut and modified within the liver, the CBD then spreads reasonably even throughout the body.
4. Today, everybody who was once a child knows how to take gummies. There are no industrial secrets here! Moreover, CBD and other cannabinoid dosages will always be known to you!
Finally, the main thing one should always look out for is products with clear labels, showing cannabinoid ratios within the product structure, manufacturing date, batch number for quality control, verifications for laboratory control and testing, and consistency of the product within the still nascent market.
