More about CBD (Cannabidiol)
What is CBD and how does it work?
Cannabinoids are the name of the compounds found in the cannabis plant. There are over 110 different cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are those two cannabinoids with the highest concentrations, and therefore the most recognized and studied.
There are many different varieties of cannabis in the world, but what makes a plant hemp or marijuana depends on how much THC a plant has in its genetics. The levels tend to vary between different varieties. If a plant has a THC content not exceeding 0.2%, it is classified as industrial hemp and is therefore legal to cultivate in the EU by certified farmers. If a plant has a THC content above 0.2% it is classified as marijuana and is illegal in most countries.
CBD, or cannabidiol, is quickly changing the debate surrounding the use of marijuana as a medicine. Most people have heard of a chemical called THC, which is the ingredient in marijuana that gets users high. Recently, attention has shifted to another compound in marijuana called CBD — and for good reason. While doctors cannot seem to look past certain side effects of THC, CBD does not appear to present that problem. On the other hand, evidence of CBD’s medical benefits continues to grow.
Here are five facts that you should know about this unique compound:
- CBD is a key ingredient in cannabis
CBD is one of over 60 compounds found in cannabis that belong to a class of molecules called cannabinoids. Of these compounds, CBD and THC are usually present in the highest concentrations, and are therefore the most recognized and studied. CBD and THC levels tend to vary among different plants. Marijuana grown for recreational purposes often contains more THC than CBD.
However, by using selective breeding techniques, cannabis breeders have managed to create varieties with high levels of CBD and next to zero levels of THC. These strains are rare but have become more popular in recent years.
- CBD is non-psychoactive
Unlike THC, CBD does not cause a high. While this makes CBD a poor choice for recreational users, it gives the chemical a significant advantage as a medicine, since health professionals prefer treatments with minimal side effects.
CBD is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same pathways as THC. These pathways, called CB1 receptors, are highly concentrated in the brain and are responsible for the mind-altering effects of THC.
