Do you want a shot of CBD in your coffee? How about in your ice cream? It’s almost like everyone discovered this miraculous cure for diabetes, epilepsy, anxiety, and cancer overnight. But do you know the facts about CBD?
What is CBD?
Cannabinoids are chemical compounds that are produced naturally in our bodies and in some plants. Cannabinoids are similar to chemicals involved in appetite, memory, movement, and pain. There are more than 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant and the most common one is Cannabidiol, or CBD.
How can I take CBD?
CBD is extracted from cannabis and is available as an oil or in capsule form. It can also be applied topically, inhaled, or ingested as an oil or in an edible.
How does it work?
CBD stimulates your endocannabinoid system by interacting with its cannabinoid receptors. This interaction activates the endocannabinoid system so it can better regulate the body and keep functions in balance.
Can I get high on CBD?
CBD will not get you high. Unlike delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the major active ingredient in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive. CBD can make you feel relaxed and calm but you will not feel intoxicated.
What is it used for?
CBD is used to provide relief to people suffering from pain and other ailments. CBD is known to provide relief for chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, depression and many other conditions. At the moment, a great deal of scientific research is examining CBD as a treatment option for neurological conditions, autoimmune diseases, metabolic syndromes, neuropsychiatric illnesses, skin diseases, gut disorders, and cardiovascular dysfunctions.
Does it work?
CBD wasn’t recognized as a medicine by the FDA until 2018. A pure pharmaceutical formulation of CBD called Epidiolex was approved for the treatment of two severe paediatric seizure disorders, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome.
Should I Try It?
Because of the stigma associated with marijuana, science hasn’t caught up to embracing CBD as quickly as it should. Most doctors are unaware of the benefits of CBD and may be reluctant to recommend it to patients. It’s also difficult to prescribe a specific dosage or best mode of administration. Additionally, we aren’t sure how CBD interacts with other drugs.
But research is underway. As more countries legalize and embrace the benefits of cannabis products, CBD will move from the fringes to the mainstream. This will allow us all to make evidence-based decisions about how to incorporate this treatment into our lives.
