What is medicinal CBD oil?

Medicinal CBD oil contains cannabidiol as active ingredient, a component from the cannabis plant. CBD is a non-psychoactive substance, which does not give you a ‘high’ feeling. Bedrolite® cannabis can be used as a raw material for the production of medicinal CBD oil. It’s then called Bedrolite® oil or extract.

Patients should preferably consult a doctor if they want to start using CBD oil. CBD is a cannabinoid that acts on specific receptors in humans and interacts with other medication.

Medicinal CBD oil that is compounded by a pharmacy meets the highest pharmaceutical quality requirements. That cannot be said about the oil that can be bought online or at the drugstore. Most of the times it does not contain the amount of CBD that is stated on the label. The origin of the raw materials (industrial hemp fibre) is often unclear. It is also possible that the oil is contaminated with heavy metals or pesticides. The production of this unregulated CBD oil is not controlled by the government in most countries. These oils are sold as a nutritional supplement.
