I'm really perplexed by this refrain that CDB is "not psychoactive"
> A psychoactive drug, psychopharmaceutical, or psychotropic is a chemical substance that changes brain function and results in alterations in perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, or behavior. source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_drug https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychoactive_drug
Isn't the point of taking it that it's psychoactive?
- majewsky 8y agoThis definition does not match people's expectation of what counts as "psychoactive". By this definition, if eating chocolate alleviates my bad mood, it's a psychoactive drug.
- sneak 8y agoChocolate contains caffeine, which is indeed psychoactive.
- GalacticDomin8r 8y agoSeems like that's a good definition then, if it's reproducible across a large number of people in a scientifically rigorous format.
- nbardy 8y ago"Not psychoactive" is definitely not the right term. CBD affects, indirectly, the GABA receptors in your brain. It's pretty clearly psychoactive. The "non-psychoative" seems to have picked up a colloquial usage that essentials equates to "doesn't get me high".
