A Comprehensive Guide to CBD

In most states, recreational marijuana remains illegal and yet 2017 was the year when weed really became mainstream. Now, an industry has blossomed from a compound found in marijuana called CBD. The wellness world has been enthralled by this cannabinoid, which is found in the cannabis plant. Let’s take a look at it;

What is CBD?

This is a non-psychoactive compound called Cannabidiol or CBD, which is obtained from marijuana and is legal in 43 US states. There are over 113 cannabinoids in marijuana and everyone is familiar with THC, the cannabinoid responsible for the psychoactive effects of the cannabis plant. Even though CBD is also a cannabinoid, unlike THC, it doesn’t have any psychoactive properties, which means you don’t get high. This is one of the top reasons why CBD has become immensely popular; it offers the therapeutic benefits of marijuana without the high.

What benefits does CBD offer?

CBD can offer a world of health benefits to people, which include treatment of epilepsy, therapy for schizophrenia, alleviating joint pain and for dealing with anxiety, depression and other mood disorders amongst others. As a matter of fact, CBD has also been effective for treatment of seizures as it did in the case of little Charlotte Figi who was suffering from Dravet syndrome. She suffered from 300 seizures in a week and when all medicines failed, CBD saved the day. The Stanley brothers named their product after her, which is CW Hemp.

Due to these benefits of CBD, a large number of people have begun using CBD as a wellness supplement for reducing the anxiety and stress they experience regularly. By taking CBD, they are able to stay calm and have also seen improvement in their concentration levels.

How CBD is made?

Other than cannabis sativa (weed), CBD is also found in industrial hemp, which is a legal variety of the plant that’s grown for non-dairy milk, textiles and paper. Since CBD can also be extracted from industrial hemp, manufacturers have been able to sell it across state lines, which means beyond the 43 states where marijuana is legalized.

How to consume CBD?

People are taking advantage of marijuana’s legalization, which means that a ton of CBD products can be found in the market. You can find CBD products in the form of vaporizers, chocolates, capsules as well as sublingual CW hemp oils. These are placed under the tongue to help them in diffusing into the bloodstream quickly. The desert market is also popular as other than chocolates, you can also find gummy bears, gum drops and lots more. Other than that, CBD is also being used in skincare products like lotions and moisturizers. Even CBD bath bombs are available nowadays.

As there are numerous products available, you should consider a few things before buying one. In some cases, you will immediately feel the CBD effects after consumption, but there are some products that are aimed for long-term use. You can weigh your options and then decide what CBD product suits your needs in the best possible way.
