What is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a "high." Instead, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system and is associated with calming, anti-inflammatory, and therapeutic effects.
In Ontario, CBD cannabis products are available from licensed retailers like Cannabis Link. All CBD products we carry come from Health Canada-licensed producers and are tested for potency and purity.
Types of CBD Products
Cannabis Link carries several types of CBD products across our 6 London locations:
- CBD Oil / Oral Drops — Taken sublingually (under the tongue) for fast absorption. Available in various CBD:THC ratios. Allows precise dosing with a measured dropper.
- CBD Capsules — Pre-measured doses for consistent, convenient consumption. Popular with medical users who want exact dosing without tasting cannabis.
- CBD Topicals — Creams, balms, and lotions applied directly to the skin. Used for localized pain, inflammation, and skin conditions. No psychoactive effects.
- Balanced Flower — Cannabis strains with roughly equal THC and CBD content (1:1 ratio). The CBD moderates THC effects for a gentler experience.
- CBD-Dominant Flower — Strains with high CBD and minimal THC. Provides the benefits of the entourage effect without significant psychoactive effects.
- CBD Edibles — Gummies and chocolates with CBD content. Discreet and precisely dosed.
How to Dose CBD
CBD dosing depends on the product type, your body weight, and what you're using it for. General guidelines:
Start with 10-20mg CBD per dose. Wait 2 hours before taking more (for oils and edibles). Topicals can be reapplied as needed.
For oils, use the measured dropper and hold under your tongue for 60 seconds before swallowing. Onset is typically 15-30 minutes.
For capsules, effects onset in 30-90 minutes and last 4-8 hours.
Consult your healthcare provider if you're taking other medications — CBD can interact with some prescription drugs.
