How CBD Oil Has Changed the Way We Look at Cannabis

July 8, 2019

With the growing legalization of cannabis across the nation, you’ll encounter many views on the substance. Some people are afraid that it’s opening the door to more serious drug use. Others are touting its amazing benefits. And some are completely out of the loop about the differences between the various cannabis products. Probably the fastest growing of opinions, however, is the one that cannabis products, particularly CBD oil, is a natural substance with untapped potential. Even the medical community is starting to take notice.

What is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is just one of the many substances derived from cannabis (the marijuana plant). It can be extracted using various methods, but each leaves it free of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is the substance in marijuana that gives you the “high” feeling. So, because CBD eliminates that substance, it’s perfectly safe and nonpsychoactive. Once CBD is extracted from the plant, it is usually produced as an oil or an isolate powder. The most popular product is CBD oil because it is just more widely known commercially. It’s been legal and available for quite some time through CBD private label companies. 

How CBD interacts with the body

Every living vertebrate has an endocannabinoid system, which is responsible for maintaining the body’s interaction with the environment. Endocannabinoid receptors are found throughout the entire body. This includes cells, fat, organs, skin, and blood vessels. They’re responsible for such things as pain, sleep, immune function, memory, mood, and appetite. When CBD is introduced to the body, it interacts with the endocannabinoid system to help balance these systems. 

CBD and the medical community

In the past, CBD has been met with some skepticism from the medical community because of many misconceptions. But with its growing legalization and use, many people are starting to take it more seriously. Even the FDA has licensed some cannabis-based medications for certain conditions. It’s also consistently becoming a primary subject of many medical studies around the world.

CBD oil uses

One of the main uses of CBD oil is to relieve the symptoms of anxiety. With about 40 million US adults experiencing this condition, that’s no small accomplishment. Another common use for CBD oil is to alleviate symptoms of depression, which often accompanies anxiety. But aside from emotional disorders, CBD has also been studied and shown some promise in treating conditions such as chronic pain, seizures, nausea, appetite loss, acne, and heart disease. 

In addition to these, some more surprising benefits of CBD oil are being discovered every day. For example, CBD has been shown in clinical trials to prevent the spread of certain cancers. It’s also starting to be used as an effective treatment for substance abuse. This is because it’s believed to alter brain circuits responsible for addiction. CBD has also been studied and found to be effective in the treatment of psychosis in schizophrenic patients.  

A shift in perspective

It’s no longer difficult to find information about reputable CBD distributors, such as you’ll find in this cbdistillery review. This is probably one of the reasons people have started to change how they view it. CBD oil is the primary product that has sort of paved the way for others because of its wide acceptance and popularity. People seem to love the fact that it’s a completely natural product that actually relieves many hard-to-treat conditions. This shift in public perception has caused the medical community and government agencies to conduct further studies. It’s also caused previous skeptics to become consumers because of the vast amount of information now available.
