No, CBD is not psychoactive. You cannot get high by consuming our CBD oil.
Is CBD the perfect medicine?
UK law does not permit CBD oil to be described as a medicinal supplement despite growing empirical evidence suggesting that it functions like one. Thus, CBD oil can only be offered for sale as a dietary supplement.
While CBD and CBG oil have shown potential benefits for health and wellness, they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement, especially if you have any medical conditions or are taking other medications.

What is the percentage of Feelgood CBD oil?
Feelgood CBD oil is 3%. It is possible to get higher concentrations of CBD (and simultaneously low THC) by using aggressive extraction methods. However, this often compromises the overall quality of the resulting oil. We employ a holistic methodology to preserve as much of the beneficial constituents as possible.
What is CBG and how is it different from CBD?
Most of us are now familiar with CBD and its benefits as a supplement. CBG (cannabigerol) is a relative newcomer and the precursor for all other cannabinoids within the hemp plant family. CBG is non-psychoactive and legal in the UK provided the THC content is below 0.2%.
Early studies show promising therapeutic benefits of CBG in:
- Treating glaucoma
- Decreasing inflammation
- Assisting in pain management
- Combating Huntington’s Disease
- Inhibiting tumor growth
- Killing drug-resistant bacteria
Why is CBG so expensive to produce?
It takes around 20 times more plant material to make CBG compared to that required to make CBD. The plant must also be harvested at a precise time before the plant converts CBG into other cannabinoids.
How do I take Feelgood Essentials CBD and CBG oils?
A little goes a long way. We recommend taking six drops once or twice daily. Place the drops under your tongue and wait for a minute before swallowing for maximum absorption.
How do I store CBD and CBG oils?
Store your Feelgood CBD oil in a cool place out of direct sunlight. If refrigerated, the oil may thicken but will return to liquid form at room temperature.
Can I cook with CBD oil?
Yes, you can add Feelgood Essentials CBD oil to your favorite recipes. Be aware that some terpenes may be lost during the cooking process.
Is it possible to travel with CBD and CBG?
CBD is legal throughout the EU, but caution is advised when traveling. Airport staff may confuse it with illegal cannabis products. Avoid traveling with CBD outside of Europe.
How does CBD work?
CBD works with your endocannabinoid system, which plays a key role in maintaining essential functions like pain sensation, mood, appetite, sleep, and memory.
What are Terpenes and why are they important?
The cannabis plant naturally produces around 200 different terpenes. We believe a holistic, whole-plant oil is more beneficial than a single chemically extracted isolate of CBD. We take care to preserve these terpenes in our Feelgood CBD oils.
What is special about Feelgood Essentials CBD oil?
At Feelgood Essentials, we believe that complete and unprocessed CBD oil, rich in natural terpenes, is superior to chemically extracted products. We avoid harmful extraction methods and focus on organic farming for the best quality oils.
What is decarboxylation and is it important?
Hemp plants naturally produce CBD-A, which converts to CBD over time or through heating. While heating CBD does not increase its bioavailability, it may destroy valuable terpenes. We allow our plant material to cure naturally to preserve its benefits.
What is the difference between CBD and CBDa?
CBDa is the precursor to CBD. Over time, CBDa naturally converts to CBD. However, forcing this process with heat may evaporate important terpenes. We use a natural curing process to preserve these compounds.
How does Feelgood Essentials produce CBD oil?
We never force decarboxylation using heat. Our full-spectrum CBD oil contains essential cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids to offer a superior product. Read more about our full spectrum extraction process here
