The benefits of CBD are widely known and it comes in an array of products including CBD oil, gummies, body lotions and even chocolate!

What is CBD?

With more and more states legalizing marijuana, many people are beginning to wonder, what’s the real difference between CBD and THC? To know the difference it’s key to understand how exactly each affects the body. At the heart of this is a biological pathway called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) which regulates your mood, appetite, memory and inflammation sensation.

CBD vs THC

So what does CBD stand for anyways? Found in marijuana and hemp CBD stands for cannabidiol which is a chemical compound that doesn’t produce the high associated with THC. Although the chemical structures of CBD and THC look nearly identical (even having the same molecular formula), THC contains one cyclic ring, while CBD contains one hydroxyl group. This small difference is what accounts for whether you feel high or not by way of the endocannabinoid system.

How does CBD work?

To clarify, when sober, the CB1 receptor in the body is affected by a neurotransmitter called anandamide. Anandamide controls pleasure, eating and motivation, and also happens to be responsible for what we call “runner’s high”. Since THC fits perfectly into this receptor, it gives its consumers a high feeling. However, CBD doesn’t fit properly because of its hydroxyl group so it doesn’t produce the same euphoric psychoactive effects, instead interacting with other neurotransmitters to provide a host of benefits.

CBD Benefits

CBD has been found to help with numerous health disorders including inflammation issues, trouble with sleep, stress, and more.

Inflammation

One of the most common health benefits of CBD is to help relieve inflammation. CBD does this by attaching to the cannabinoid receptors in your body to reduce the inflamed part of the body. It’s becoming especially popular as a viable natural alternative for opiods since it does not increase inflammation sensitivity over time, one of the most promising aspects of CBD oil.

Stress

Stress is a huge issue that’s becoming more prevalent in a world of increasing change. Luckily, CBD might be able to help with stress. Junella Chin, an osteopathic doctor and expert in the cannabis field says that, “[CBD] tells your body to calm down and reminds you that you’re safe. It mellows out the nervous system so you’re not in a heightened flight or fight response.” That said, it can give you a greater sense of ease so you can be a happier and healthier person. And while CBD may not get rid of your stress entirely, it may help you manage it to a large extent.

Sadness

Feelings of sadness are more common than society would like to admit, and everyone struggles with bouts of sadness on various levels. As of January 2020, it’s been said that 264 million people suffer from sadness. While therapy, medication and lifestyle adjustments can make a huge difference, people are looking for more natural remedies such as CBD. Interestingly, CBD also acts on the brain's receptors for serotonin so it’s proving especially promising. However, more research is needed and it shouldn’t be taken in place of a doctor’s prescribed medication.

Epilepsy

Charlotte’s Web CBD is a hemp strain named after Charlotte Figi whose mother was searching for a nonintoxicating natural treatment for her daughter’s chronic seizures. Spectacularly, the Charlotte's Web product helped reduce Charlotte’s seizures from 300 per week to 2-3 per week. The grower who originally helped the Figi family created Charlotte’s Web in her honor and produces CBD oils that go beyond epilepsy alone to promote focus, relieve stress, promote healthy sleep and post-workout inflammation.
