Cannabidiol & Cottonmouth — Can CBD Trigger A Dry Mouth Sensation?

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:55:43 GMT

Along with the “munchies” and red eyes, “cottonmouth” is a common side effect associated with cannabis use. Many people who use medical or recreational marijuana report feeling a dry mouth sensation. While most scientists believe this reaction is related chiefly to the psychoactive cannabinoid delta-9 THC, hemp fans are curious whether CBD could affect saliva production. Anyone new to CBD should know the likelihood they’ll experience “cottonmouth” when using hemp extracts.Does CBD Cause Dry Mouth Side Effects?As mentioned in the intro, most research into cannabis and dry mouth focuses on THC. Recent studies strongly suggest delta-9 THC interacts with CB1 receptors in the brain that can influence saliva secretion. However, current data from Argentina suggests other cannabinoids may play a role in reducing saliva.Scientists at the University of Buenos Aires discovered many cannabinoid receptors in the human mouth. Not only does the endocannabinoid system (ECS) extend to our salivary g...

But every night was a must-watch show. Michael and Brian D’Addario had an insanely good band behind them with Daryl Johns, Andres Valbuena, and Tommaso Taddonio, playing an incredible album with ‘Go To School.’It was really exciting, I was 22 years old and already loved the Lemon Twigs, then the album came out and I was listening to it a ton, and the plot really went wild when all of a sudden our lead singer Andrew was asked if we wanted to tour with them.On top of that, their live show was (and is) totally electric, so I was just living in this prolonged mind boggl...
