What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is a natural concentrate found in different strains of the cannabis plant. CBD is the second most common cannabinoid after delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Unlike THC, CBD is non psychotropic and therefore doesn't cause a euphoric high. It has numerous health benefits and contains nutritious substances such as chlorophyll, omega-3 fatty acids, terpenes, vitamins, amino acids and other phytocannabinoids.
It is unfortunate that we have been miseducated on Cannabis. While opioids are killing on average 134 people a day, no one has ever overdosed on Cannabis. Despite it's safe track record and the numerous health benefits, Cannabis is listed as a schedule I drug. A scheduled one drug is considered the most dangerous drug with zero health benefits. The recent signing of the 2018 Farm Bill has made certain components of the Cannabis plant (CBD with less than .3% THC) legally available in all 50 states.
How the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) Works?
Our bodies can easily get knocked out of balance when it doesn't produce sufficient endocannabinoids and that deficiency can cause severe pain/discomfort and numerous other issues. The ECS system was discovered 30 years ago and is now considered one of the MOST vital regulatory systems within the human body. It controls how we feel, think and react.
When these Cannabinoids (example: CBD and THC) are absorbed into our system, they can imitate the compounds that our bodies naturally produce (endocannabinoids) and amazingly provide relief to numerous symptoms that our bodies commonly experience: discomfort, anxiety, and inflammation. While there is no mind-altering effects with CBD, it shares some of the medicinal benefits of THC, plus more!
