What is CBD and why did it become so popular in the past couple of years?
CBD (aka Cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants. Just like THC, Cannabidiol is also a cannabinoid and is produced and stored by the small mushroom-shaped glands named trichomes.
WHAT IS CBD AND WHERE DO WE FIND IT?
Humans have developed a fascination with cannabinoids, either for their medicinal or psychoactive properties. There are more than 100 cannabinoids but CBD and THC are the most abundant. CBD or cannabidiol is a chemical compound from the Cannabis plant. It’s a naturally occurring substance (just like THC and other cannabinoids) and is generally used by medical patients for the feeling of relaxation and calm it delivers.
CBD or Cannabidiol is present in all cannabis plants but the levels vary. Plants bred to produce high levels of THC usually produce low quantities of CBD. However, you can find strains bred specifically for their high levels of CBD, like our medicinal strain CBD Auto 20:1 with 10-20% of CBD and less than 1% of THC.
WHAT IS CBD USED FOR?
CBD’s medicinal properties have been studied in greater depth in the last couple of years than ever before. There’s still a lot to learn about this compound but it has been showing therapeutic uses for many different conditions. The anti-inflammatory qualities of cannabidiol can treat skin conditions such as allergic dermatitis but CBD works by inhibiting the transmission of pain signals in our body and it can be used for more serious problems. Cannabidiol can be used to treat anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorders, PTSD, and other anxiety-related conditions like cognitive impairment and social phobia.
