Is CBD Vape Oil Safe?

As is the case with anything you ingest, you likely want to know about the safety of CBD vape oil. CBD oil on its own is considered low-risk, with the most common side effect being tiredness. On rare occasions, users have experienced diarrhea or loss of appetite.

Understanding the ingredients is one of the most important safety considerations to make when choosing a CBD vape product.

Some researchers have expressed concern about the use of PG in vaping products. A 2010 study found that PG in the air is associated with respiratory issues like asthma. Further, studies have shown that PG heated to high temperatures can release formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, both known carcinogens. For this reason, it’s important to choose a high-quality vape pen that doesn’t heat to extreme temperatures.

The long-term effects of vaping itself have not been extensively studied. Traditional vape liquid, which contains nicotine, can also include other potentially harmful chemicals and carries a small risk of inhaling nanoparticles. That’s why it’s important to look for a CBD vape oil that only contains CBD, thinning agents and perhaps flavor. Most flavoring has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as GRAS (generally recognized as safe), but the safety of inhaling these substances is still largely unknown.

CBD Vape pens are non-psychoactive

CBD is a compound – a cannabinoid, to be specific – that can be found in industrial hemp and cannabis plants. But it doesn’t produce the intoxicating “high” or “stoned” effect that cannabis is renowned for. This vape pens do not contain any of the psychoactive THC that creates this effect. THC and CBD  interact with different receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system. This is why one causes a “high” and the other produces more balanced therapeutic effects.
