CBD FACTS: What we know, what we don’t know about Hemp Cannabidiol
Monday, March 9, 2020
 

 

If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’ve certainly heard about CBD.  This word is on everyone’s lips. It’s even featured in the news as a standalone treatment for anxiety, pain, and epilepsy. What is CBD, anyway? CBD is an acronym and it stands for cannabidiol. It’s just one of the many substances identified in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, which can get you high, CBD is sourced from industrial hemp.

Is cannabidiol miraculous? It could be. There is still that we don’t know about CBD. The good news is that researchers are doing their best to understand the beneficial effects of the compound and what conditions it might help with. Either way, the subject being discussed is extremely interesting.

1940 marks the discovery of CBD

Many think that CBD is a new supplement, when in fact it has been around for a long, long time. Roger Adams discovered cannabidiol back in 19040 trying to extract the chemical compound from marijuana. It was not until 1943 that the chemical structure was clearly defined. Laboratory tests were carried out on animals to demonstrate that CBD doesn’t cause an altered mental state.

CBD started to gain ground after being legalized in 2018. For the time being, it’s not officially approved by the FDA as a dietary supplement or ingredient. Yet, the FDA has approved one cannabidiol-based product destined for severe forms of epilepsy. There is hope that the governmental agency will change its mind in future times.

CBD can undo the effects of THC

CBD and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are used interchangeably, although they don’t refer to the same reality. THC is a psychoactive compound that gives a high sensation. Not only does CBD not make you high, but also it counteracts the effects of THC. Cannabidiol interferes with tetrahydrocannabinol’s ability to bind to the main molecular target in the brain. To put it simply, it blocks the high of THC.

You don’t have to worry about unpleasant side effects such as dissociative thoughts, impaired memory, or psychotic episodes.

You’ll be blown away if you’re just beginning to learn about cannabidiol. You’ll discover that CBD consumption doesn’t have horrific side effects and neither does it cause long-term damage.

There are different types of CBD products available.

If you’re interested in taking CBD, you’re in luck because there are dozens of different types of CBD hemp oil products. Examples include but aren’t limited to capsules, edibles, skin products, vape oil, hair products, concentrates, tinctures, and isolates. If you’re not the type of person that will ingest anything, try CBD creams and ointments. The biggest difference between the products mentioned earlier is the speed of the delivery and how long the effects last.

CBD products are marked with suggested doses, so you can easily figure out how much CBD you’re getting. The right amount generally depends on the body type, the medical condition you’re treating, and your individual body chemistry. CBD oil is by far the most common form of consumption. The oil is absorbed via the small capillary beds underneath the tongue, meaning that it’s absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
