Your Complete Guide to What CBD Is
Hello! I’m Laura, and today we’re going to dive into the fascinating world of CBD. If you’ve ever wondered what CBD is, what its benefits are, how it’s consumed, or its legal status, you’re in the right place!
Let’s break it all down so that you can finally get rid of doubts. 😊
We’ve told you about it many times, but in case it’s the first time you’ve entered a page to find out more, you’ve come to the right place. At Greenery 420, our mission is to provide clear, accessible, and up-to-date information to help understand everything you need to know about the use and legality of CBD in Spain.
What is CBD?
Cannabidiol, better known as CBD, is one of the many cannabinoids present in the hemp plant. Unlike its famous relative, THC, CBD has no psychoactive effects, meaning it is not mind-altering or addictive. This has contributed to its popularity as a natural alternative in products intended for wellness.
How to use CBD?
The market offers various ways to consume CBD, adapting to the preferences and needs of each person, but the legislation of each country must be reviewed due to the high restrictions that may exist in different countries:
- Sublingual use: putting a few droplets, in this case oil, under the tongue for quick absorption. Here you can see a complete Guide to understanding and choosing CBD oil. In Spain, its use is only allowed topically.
- Capsules and edibles: These include gummies and other foods that contain CBD. It is essential to verify the legality of these products in your country; in Spain the sale of Cannabidiol for human consumption is not allowed. In our case we have some gummies to relieve stress and some gummies that help you fall asleep with Melatonin, but they do NOT contain CBD.
- Topical products: Creams and balms that are applied directly to the skin, ideal for muscle or joint discomfort. In fact, the use of Cannabidiol in athletes is quite common, so much so that for the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, WADA allowed the use of CBD during training. You can find the Wellness section where you can find this type of product.
- Inhalation: It consists of inhaling through vaporizations or smoking the product that contains CBD. It is essential to ensure the quality and safety of the products used. This form of consumption is also regulated in each country in a different way.
The permitted use for CBD products in Spain includes external applications, such as oils or creams, and for decorative or collector’s purposes in the case of CBD flowers and hashish. It is key to always follow the recommendations of the labels and purchase products in stores that operate within the legal framework.
Is CBD safe?
CBD, when used according to legal indications, is safe. Responsible companies submit their products to independent laboratory testing to ensure the absence of contaminants and THC levels in compliance with the law. At Greenery 420, every batch of products comes with accessible certificates.
Can I talk to my doctor about CBD?
Yes, talking to a healthcare professional is recommended if you have questions about CBD. Although it is not authorized for human consumption in Spain, many doctors are familiar with the subject and can guide you on its possible interaction with medications or its use within legal limits.

Side Effects and Considerations
Although CBD is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience side effects such as dry mouth, decreased appetite, or drowsiness. Additionally, CBD can interact with other medications, so it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting its use.

What is CBD used for?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is known for its multiple therapeutic properties. It has been used to relieve chronic pain, reduce inflammation, decrease anxiety, and improve sleep quality. In addition, studies have shown its effectiveness in treating certain types of epilepsy. It’s essential to consult with a healthcare professional if you want to use it as a medicinal treatment.
In any case, most of our customers are usually ex-smokers, people with problems falling asleep and the most topical products such as those in the Wellness CBD category are usually used for muscle pain. We reiterate that although we are experts in our products, each person is different
Is CBD addictive?
No, CBD does not generate addiction or psychoactive effects.
Can I travel with CBD?
It depends on local regulations. Be sure to check the laws of each destination. In this article, we talk about everything you need to consider when traveling with CBD.
What warranties do Greenery 420 products offer?
All our products have laboratory certificates and comply with Spanish legislation.
If you have questions or are looking for more information, visit Greenery 420 or stop by one of our stores. We are here to advise you with transparency and confidence.
What does CBD do to your brain?
CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating functions such as mood, pain, and sleep. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive effects, so it does not produce the “high” associated with marijuana use. Instead, it modulates the activity of cannabinoid receptors, which can contribute to anxiolytic and neuroprotective effects.
In any case, we will try to develop a specific article to answer your questions with experts in the field.
What is the most potent CBD?
At Greenery 420, we offer a variety of products with different concentrations of CBD to suit your needs. Our highest concentration CBD oil is 40% Broad Spectrum CBD Oil, ideal for those looking for a higher dose. In addition, we have the CBD Crumble, a concentrate that contains up to 99% CBD, recommended for users who require an extremely high concentration and the CBD Crystal which is almost pure CBD with 99.8% CBD. It’s important to remember that the right potency varies from person to person, so it’s wise to start with low doses and adjust based on your body’s response.
Scientific research
The scientific community has shown a growing interest in CBD. Several studies have explored its potential benefits in areas such as pain management, anxiety and neurological disorders. However, it is important to note that much of this research is in the preliminary phases, and more studies are required to confirm these findings.
