E-liquid & CBD

What’s in e-liquid (e-juice)?

E-liquid, also called e-juice or vape juice, is what vaping devices use to make the vapor you breathe in. E-liquids aren’t just water. They usually contain:

• Flavoring. Each flavoring has its own set of ingredients.

• Nicotine, the addictive and harmful substance in cigarettes and other tobacco products.

• Propylene glycol and glycerin, used to create vapor.

E-liquids and flavorings sometimes have other ingredients, including:

• Chemicals that can cause cancer (carcinogens), like acetaldehyde and formaldehyde.

• Chemicals known to cause lung disease, such as acrolein, diacetyl and diethylene glycol.

• THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the chemical in marijuana that gets you “high.”

• Vitamin E acetate, linked to lung injury caused by vaping (EVALI, see below).

• Heavy metals like nickel, tin, lead and cadmium.

• Tiny (ultrafine) particles that can get deep into your lungs.

What’s CBD?

CBD (cannabidiol) is a natural compound that is found in the cannabis plant and is one of 100 different cannabinoids found in cannabis. It is not psychoactive like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is one of the important cannabinoids in cannabis. CBD does not cause any “high,” which is usually associated with using cannabis.

CBD may have benefits, such as 

• Reducing inflammation

• Relieving pain

• It may help with anxiety

• Helping people to sleep better 

Different forms of CBD are available in the market, like oils, capsules, creams, and gummies. It is becoming more popular among people who want the benefits of cannabinoids without the psychoactive effects of THC.

CBD and CBD products have become very popular in the past few years, but there are many other cannabinoids that are good for your health and well-being that you can get today. Delta-8 THC, Delta-9 THC, THC-P, and CBN can help with relaxation and sleep, while Delta-10 THC, THC-V, and CBG can provide focus and energy.
