1.
Cannabidiol is the main
chemical in cannabis: While most people are familiar with THC, another chemical
found in cannabis, not many people know about Cannabidiol. In fact the percentage of it against THC is greater,
but this varies among the differ species of marijuana plants. Breeders can in
fact grow specific varieties of the plan that have 0% THC in them.
2.
Cannabidiol has no
psychoactive properties: Unlike THC, Cannabidiol
does not cause the consumer to get high. This is down to the fact that
unlike THC, which reacts with certain pathways that produce a psychoactive
reaction, Cannabidiol reacts with
different pathways. This not only makes it a great chemical to use to treat
illnesses, but also means there are next to no side effects.
3.
Cannabidiol can be used
in a wide array of medication: while
it has been proven that THC has many medicinal uses, the main problem has
always been the side effect it produces. Well, Cannabidiol is your answer to that, as it has the same medicinal
properties with none of the side effects associated with THC. Trials for the
use of CBD on humans have been carried out and it has been proven to help in
everything from anti-inflammatory and pain, to even managing chronic illnesses
like cancer and Alzheimer’s.
4.
CBD can help with THC: while both are from the same type of plan,
it has been proven that the both are quite different. In fact Cannabidiol has been proven to reduce
the side effects of THC. This is especially to do with the sleep-inducing
effects of THC; this is seen especially with strains of Marijuana that have
high levels of CBD.
5.
CBD is illegal: While all the facts above prove how amazing Cannabidiol is, the fact remains that
it is still very much illegal. This is
down to the fact that since it comes from Marijuana, it is classified as a
schedule 1 drug and therefore illegal. This may change soon, since companies
around the world are testing different uses of CBD on humans.
So there you
go, some great facts about a chemical that can do wonders for millions of
patients and even you.
