What is CBD?

Some people can’t tell the difference between cannabis, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and (cannabidiol) CBD. Knowing the difference between the three is critical in identifying the health benefits of each. Cannabis is a plant rich in medical history, dating back to thousands of years. The plant contains over eighty chemical compounds, the most common being THC and CBD. THC or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is the chemical compound that gives the ‘high’ effect associated with the use of cannabis. THC attaches and activates the brain’s cannabinoid receptors affecting a person’s pleasure, coordination, thinking, time perception, and memory. 

THC is one of many chemical compounds concentrated in the resin produced by glands of the cannabis plant. A majority of these glands are located within the reproductive organs of the cannabis plant than in any other part. According to NIDA, THC stimulates brain cells to release dopamine to create euphoria. It also affects how information is processed in the hippocampus, which is responsible for creating new memories. CBD, is a non-psychoactive member of the cannabinoid family. Although it’s the second most prevalent component of medical marijuana, it’s extracted directly from the hemp plant, a close cousin of the marijuana plant. It’s one of the hundreds of cannabis plant components that doesn’t cause a ‘high’ effect. It exhibits no results indicative of dependency or abuse. There’s no scientific evidence pointing to health problems associated with the use of pure CBD.

 

Health benefits of Cannabidiol

CBD has been praised for several health benefits. It prevents the breakdown of the brain chemical responsible for affecting mental function, pain, and mood. This, together with increasing CBD levels in the bloodstream, reduces the psychotic symptoms that come with conditions like schizophrenia. Its effectiveness in treating the cruelest childhood epilepsy syndromes like Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, which doesn’t respond to anti-seizure medications, is perhaps the strongest scientific evidence ever for its health benefits. In some studies, researchers have been able to reduce the number of seizures and, in some cases, stop them altogether using CBD. CBD has also been touted as useful to address anxiety. 

Various studies indicate that CBD will help with falling asleep and staying asleep for those suffering from the misery of insomnia. It may also be an option for treating multiple forms of chronic pain. A study done by the European Journal of Pain suggested that CBD could help suppress inflammation and pain when applied to the skin due to chronic arthritis. A separate study demonstrated how it inhibits the two most notorious forms of chronic pain; neuropathic and inflammatory pain. It could also be used to inhibit a few psychoactive effects of THC.

Is Cannabidiol (CBD) safe?

The side effects of using CBD range from fatigue, irritability to nausea. It can increase the level of blood thinner coumadin in your bloodstream or other types of medications through the same mechanism as grapefruit juice. 

However, authorities and health professionals have raised safety concerns for CBD use as it is primarily sold as a food supplement, not a form of medication. Since FDA doesn’t regulate the purity and safety of food supplements, you wouldn’t know whether the product you buy has active ingredients as shown on the label. Worse still, the supplement could contain other unknown elements. Also, there are no specific specifications for the most effective therapeutic dose of CBD for a particular medical condition.

Legality of CBD

Though CBD’s exact legality is still in flux, it’s readily accessible in most parts of the US. All the US 50 states have enacted laws legalizing its use with varying restrictions. 

Although the federal government still considers CBD to belong to the same class as marijuana, it doesn’t enforce its use. In late December 2015, the Food and Drug Agency eased restrictions on CBD trials. 

The government’s stand on CBD is confusing and seems to depend on whether it’s extracted from marijuana or hemp. Its legality is still going to change, considering there’s a bipartisan consensus in Congress to legalize hemp plant, which would make CBD impossible to prohibit.

5/5
"Since a car accident I have had back problems and often have to resort to strong painkillers, which unfortunately also have many side effects. My doctor's recommendation to try CBD was the best that could have happened to me. It has no side effects and I no longer need strong pain relievers - If the pain is particularly severe, I now only take a mild pain reliever."
