CBD is the buzz word on everyone’s lips right now, but what’s its deal? Cannabidiol or CBD is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found in both the hemp and cannabis plants. Unlike the other main cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD isn’t going to get you high and leave you with a serious case of the munchies. Everywhere you seem to look these days people are selling CBD infused vape juice, CBD drinks and foods, CBD ointments and topicals and just about anything else you could imagine. From anxiety to arthritis, everyone is turning to CBD products. Despite how popular CBD is becoming, there is still quite a lot of confusion out there about what CBD is, how CBD works and how CBD could help you.

LearWhat’s the Difference Between CBD from Hemp and CBD from Cannabis?
The cannabis sativa plant has two main varieties, marijuana and hemp. Both species contain CBD, but hemp plants have a much higher percentage of CBD and an almost non-existent level of THC. CBD products which are made from hemp usually have less than .3% THC. If you hear the term ‘hemp oil’ it’s usually in reference to oil which is made from CBD seeds. This almost always contains no CBD or THC. It is packed full of healthy ingredients, but CBD isn’t usually one of them. It’s important to ensure that you’re getting what you pay for and not a cleverly labeled product which is designed to deceive you. What Are Some of the Potential Health Benefits of CBD? There is currently only one CBD medication that has full FDA approval. It’s called Epidiolex, and it’s used as a treatment for very rare and severe forms of epilepsy. People around the world are claiming that CBD could be an effective treatment for conditions such as cancer, back, and joint pain, mental health conditions such as anxiety, sleep issues, pain management, and osteoarthritis just to name a few. There is still a substantial amount of research and study which needs to be done into the full health benefits of CBD, but early studies on mice are looking very promising. Always speak to your doctor or healthcare professional before switching any of your medications or starting a new one.
