| Description: | The least processed form of the cannabis plant is hemp. Hemp contains most of the CBD that people use medicinally. Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant, Cannabis sativa, but the two are very different. Unlike marijuana farmers, hemp farmers have rarely modified the plant. These hemp plants are used to create CBD oil. CBD does not change a person’s state of mind when they use it. However, CBD does appear to produce significant changes in the body, and some research suggests that it has medical benefits. Unlike THC, CBD interacts with the CB2 receptor in the endocannabinoid system, causing it to react very differently, most notably being non-psychoactive. As a result, CBD mainly effects the body, although it does offer benefits to the mind too, but these aren’t experienced like the typical high you expect from cannabis. It can have many positive effects on the mind and body, much of which has only recently been studied. Because of these promising effects, you can experience general feelings of well-being but with absolutely no high to come with it. Many users have expressed that CBD makes them less anxious, eleviates chronic pain, and aids with sleep issues. |
