Introducing DiiP: CBD Products in Thailand

Introduction

Cannabidiol, or CBD is the most prolific non-psychoactive component of cannabis. The term ‘psychoactive’ can refer to any substance that affects the user’s mental experience. From general anaesthetic to coffee, anything that might influence consciousness, energy or behaviour is considered psychoactive. 

THC is the main psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis.  One of its main functions is mimicking the chemical structure of our ‘bliss’ hormone anandamide, giving the euphoric ‘high’ from cannabis. CBD on the other hand acts as protection for THC or anandamide by blocking the enzyme that degrades them. Thus stabilising and enhancing mood by allowing for more ‘bliss’ to naturally generate in the body, rather than it coming from an external source like THC. 

This stable holistic action that CBD has on the body was welcomed into a lot more consumer markets than THC products. This has led CBD to become one of the fastest growing wellness industries on the planet. 

DiiP, is one of the leading CBD brands in Thailand with a focus on holistic wellness and optimisation for their customers. They ensure their cannabis plants are completely organic and are grown with no artificial chemicals to achieve the highest possible quality. All DiiP products are FDA approved and the brand is passionate about safety and cannabis and wellness education.

Benefits of CBD

CBD has become an important medicine for treating various conditions from stress or insomnia to serious conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. Cannabinoids and terpenes are known for their anti-inflammatory and pain relieving qualities and CBD is no exception. The magic of CBD comes from hosting these benefits without the head high from THC, let along side effects from pharmaceutical drugs. 

CBD helps regulate the endocannabinoid system, or ECS, which is responsible for regulating basically in the body and brain. The ECS governs communication between all other important systems in the body like the immune system, cardiovascular system, central nervous system and emotional processor. The ECS is the interface between our inner and outer world. 

This is why CBD is so useful for such a wide array of conditions. Any imbalance in the body, be it from physical inflammation, emotional stress or both, CBD strengthens the ECS and helps the body and mind heal itself. 

CBD is therefore great for anxiety, stress and depression because the dysregulation that keeps these conditions going is weakened so self healing can take effect. This also regulates sleeping and waking systems, treating insomnia. Addiction management is also helped by this as the cravings are lessened by the increase of natural positive hormones.

CBD has neuro protective qualities which help treat people with conditions such as epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease. The systems in the body and brain are calmed to a degree that helps prevent involuntary action like muscle spasms, tremors or seizures.

DiiP products have the least additives in them possible making the best possible effective CBD extracts for regular long term use.

Types of CBD products

CBD can be consumed in several different ways. The classic tincture is the original and still a very popular way of consuming CBD. Tinctures are best consumed sublingually, literally Latin for “under tongue[ly]”, because the skin under the tongue absorbs nutrients faster than the digestive system. For fastest absorption, allow the tincture to rest under your tongue for 30-60 seconds if you can.

1 ml of DiiP Organic CBD Oil contains 30 mg of CBD, 812 mg of MCT, similar to coconut oil, 100 mg of hemp seed oil and 3 mg of vitamin E. There are no artificial flavours, preservatives or chemicals in DiiP CBD oil which ensures holistic integration into any wellness routine. 

DiiP Gummies are also very popular for many people. They are delicious and satisfying to eat and offer a less clinical way of consuming CBD. You can also choose how your body takes in the gummy by how much you allow it to dissolve in your mouth. If it fully dissolves it will absorb quickly and if you chew and swallow it might take a little longer to activate.

There are also DiiP sleep capsules for a more direct effect. Each capsule contains 25 mg of CBD, 40 mp of L-Glutamine (a health supplement), 30mg of chamomile extract (a traditional herb used for relaxation) and 25 mg of vitamin premix B complex. This formula is great for sleep as the CBD calms the system and the chamomile encourages sleep. The rest of the ingredients are implemented to optimise immune system and the rest of the body. 

There are a few more ways to take CBD that this growing market is showing us. Drinks are becoming a popular refreshment or replacement for alcohol. Massage oil and topical skin care is also growing in prevalence in the industry, with many more things to unlock. 

CBD Dosage and Usage

DiiP maintains the widely held view that the correct formula and dosage of CBD can only be perfected by the consumer. Results will vary by things like body weight and cannabinoid tolerance. The products also vary in strength and purpose, so it’s best to discuss your condition with a budtender or DiiP assistant online in order to optimise your results and understanding. 

The optimum dose for you can only really be found through trial and error. Usually people are recommended to start relatively low and work their way up to the perfect dose. The doses vary from 20 mg to up to 1500 mg daily for very severe conditions. 20 mg is considered a low dose and, with certain concentrations,  can be obtained with four drops of a tincture as one drop is on average around 5 mg. Therefore a moderate dose of 40 – 50 mg can is 8-10 drops of an average tincture.

The general advice for people taking CBD is that consistency is key. People might not feel dramatic effects until a couple of weeks into taking CBD once or twice a day. This whole process should be monitored closely to truly understand and optimise your body’s reaction.

CBD Legality in Thailand

Thailand criminalised cannabis in the mid 20th century. In 2018, they legalised cannabis for medical use, including CBD. In June 2022 the law changed, it was now legal for a licensed cultivation and sale of cannabis products. This also meant that the CBD that was already on the market could now include up to 0.2% THC, however DiiP choses to keep its products THC free for its customers.

Travelling to certain countries with CBD is possible but it is important to check the laws of the country you are travelling to. For example most of Europe is tolerant of CBD products but Indonesia is not. 

The number of bottles or packs of CBD usually won’t make any legal difference. Unless you are carrying a considerably large amount of products without a sales licence you may be asked to explain yourself.

Future of CBD in Thailand

As of 2023, CBD had a global market value of $7.6 billion and some reports suggest a growth rate of around 17% with the projected market value of $36 billion in 2023. The North American market still take up about 72% of the global market, but with recent legislation changes, this number may shift down as the Asian market develops.
