What is CBD, how does CBD work, and what are the effects?
CBD is short for Cannabidoil. This is the second most prevalent active ingredient found in cannabis or hemp. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD has no psychoactive effects on the body and does not cause a “high”. Additionally, CBD has no potential that could lead to abuse or dependency. In order to understand the effects that CBD has on the body, we must look at how it works. CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, such as CB1 (CNS-cannabinoid receptor) and CB2 (peripheral cannabinoid receptor).CB1 receptors are one of the most common receptors in the nervous system. These receptors have influence on motor function, memory, mood, and pain perception. CB2 is most commonly found in the immune system that helps with inflammation and response to pathogens. CBD modifies these receptors’ ability to bind to cannabinoids while influencing other receptors and enhancing your natural levels of endocannabinoids. Because of this, CBD provides possible anti-inflammatory, anti-psychotic, and anxiolytic effects which can aid with pain management, anxiety/stress relief, mood enhancement, changes in appetite, nausea, epilepsy, muscle spasms, Parkinson’s Disease, and glaucoma.
What are the different forms of CBD?
CBD oil can be extracted in many forms, but the most popular are Full Spectrum and pure CBD isolate. Full Spectrum CBD means that the entire hemp plant is extracted allowing the CBD oil to contain the other molecules found in the plant like additional cannabinoids and terpenes. In full spectrum CBD, the cannabinoids and terpenes work together and influence each other giving you a potential for a larger effect. CBD isolate is the pure form of CBD meaning it only contains the CBD molecule as the active ingredient.
