What is CBD?

What is CBD and how does it differ from THC?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of over 100 naturally occurring chemical compounds called cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the other main cannabinoid, CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” associated with cannabis use. THC is the component responsible for the intoxicating effects of cannabis.

CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant, often from industrial hemp which typically contains high levels of CBD and minimal THC. The extracted CBD is then diluted with a carrier oil such as coconut oil or hemp seed oil to create CBD oil. This oil can be consumed in various ways, including oral drops placed under the tongue, or applied topically as part of creams and lotions. CBD is also available in a wide range of other products, such as dietary supplements, bath soaks, drinks, and food.

Why is CBD Growing in Popularity?

CBD has been investigated for its potential therapeutic effects across a broad range of conditions. One of the earliest recorded uses of cannabis for pain treatment dates back to 2900 B.C. in Chinese medicine, and researchers believe that components like CBD may contribute to these effects. Modern research suggests that CBD may offer several health benefits, including pain relief, potentially by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a complex network of neurotransmitters and cannabinoid receptors that plays a role in many bodily processes.

Other potential benefits under investigation include possible improvement in sleep for individuals with certain sleep disorders, and potential in substance misuse treatment by relieving anxiety and depression in people with dependence on certain drugs.
