Spotlight on CBD: Benefits and Uses
Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, has taken the wellness world by storm — and for good reason. As one of the most studied compounds found in the cannabis plant, CBD offers a range of potential health benefits without the intoxicating effects typically associated with cannabis. Whether you're new to CBD or looking to deepen your understanding, this guide highlights everything you need to know about how it works, how to use it, and why so many in Malta are embracing it.
What is CBD?
CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce a “high.” Instead, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS) to promote balance and well-being.
CBD is commonly used in the form of:
-
CBD oils and tinctures
-
Capsules
-
Topical creams and balms
-
Edibles
-
Vape liquids
Benefits of CBD: What Does the Research Say?
While research is ongoing, studies and anecdotal evidence suggest that CBD may offer relief for several conditions:
1. Pain Relief
CBD may help manage chronic pain and inflammation by interacting with receptors in the ECS that regulate pain.
2. Stress and Anxiety Reduction
One of the most popular reasons people use CBD is to reduce feelings of anxiety, stress, or general unease.
3. Improved Sleep
Many users report better sleep quality with CBD, especially when taken regularly before bedtime.
4. Muscle and Joint Recovery
Topical CBD creams are popular among athletes and active individuals for post-workout recovery and soreness.
5. Immune and Mood Support
CBD interacts with various neurotransmitters and receptors that influence mood, potentially promoting a sense of calm and well-being.

🙋♀️ CBD FAQs
Is CBD legal in Malta?
Yes. CBD products containing less than 0.2% THC are legal to buy and use in Malta. All our products meet these legal requirements. However CBD flowers remain illegal in any shape and form as they are considered a raw ingredient and therefore do not qualify as a product. Laws may be changing soon, but for now best to not order any flowers, buds, leaves, teas or anything that contains visible parts of the plants as this may results in arrest and prosecution.
Will CBD make me high?
No. CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not cause any high or mind-altering effects.
How do I choose the right CBD product?
Start by identifying your needs (e.g., pain, sleep, stress), then choose a format that suits your lifestyle—oils for fast absorption, capsules for ease, topicals for targeted relief.
Are there any side effects?
CBD is generally well-tolerated, but some users may experience minor side effects like drowsiness or dry mouth. Always start with a low dose and monitor how your body responds.
