CBD is the common abbreviation for cannabidiol. This substance is one of the natural chemical compounds that cannabis contains. Hemp has been used for medicinal purposes by mankind for several thousand years, but its therapeutic properties have been tested and confirmed relatively recently. Authoritative luminaries of medicine declare: the CBD effect is absolutely harmless and not addictive. Therefore, in modern medicine, cannabidiol plays a leading role among a huge number of phytocannabinoids.

Therapeutic effect: what is the difference between THC and CBD?

Cannabidiol is a substance that is obtained by extraction from selected marijuana plants. THC and CBD are the best known of the 80+ cannabinoids. But they act on the body in different ways:

• THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a psychoactive component, so manufacturers always make sure that its content in the product does not exceed 0.2%;
• CBD is a non-psychotropic compound that provides a positive effect on the body (cannabidiol does not affect the mind and is therefore considered the most promising in medicine).

To understand how CBD works, it is necessary to consider the characteristics of the cannabinoid receptors in the human body. It is worth talking about this in more detail.

What effect does CBD have on receptors?

Cannabinoid receptors predominate in the human body (there are many more of them than any other). They are divided into 2 types:

• CB1 (CB1) located in the brain;
• CB2 (CB2), filling the immune system and spleen.

Cannabinoids act on both types of receptors, thereby providing an impact on the functioning of the body as a whole.

CBD is sold legally in Ukraine precisely because the main component does not have a pronounced effect on CB1 receptors, it does not cause "oddities" in the patient's behavior and perception of the world. In addition, cannabidiol performs a kind of “blocking” of the activation of CB1 receptors if other psychotropic substances enter the body.

CBD, acting more on CB2 receptors, shows miracles of impact on the immune system, thereby relieving the patient of many painful manifestations: convulsions, inflammation, nausea. Thanks to cannabidiol, a person gets rid of anxiety. Experts also note a slowdown in the growth of malignant cells, an improvement in skin condition, and relief of symptoms of diabetes.

The current situation in Ukraine has shown that CBD-dominated medical cannabis is a true panacea for pain. The agony of combat injuries can be turned into tolerable discomfort with CBD, so wounded patients suffer less while waiting for qualified medical attention.

How else can CBD work: some examples

Cannabidiol has no equal when it comes to improving the quality of life. It can affect a variety of organs, regulate many processes in the body. Consider the CBD effect in different situations:

• mental problems - CBD relieves depression, aggression, increases stress resistance, helps fight PTSD (which is very important after active battles, with difficult evacuation from hot spots);
• mental activity - CBD-containing drugs are used to combat Alzheimer's disease, ADHD, epilepsy;
• injuries and infections - CBD is effective as a pain reliever, it also has antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties;
• Cannabidiol as a muscle relaxant - relaxes the muscles, which can be compared with the effect of a massage.

Of course, it is impossible to buy CBD as a panacea for all ailments. Its effect on the body has not yet been fully studied, and additional funds may be needed for complete relief. But the fact that the sensations after the use of cannabis will change for the better is unequivocal.

How to choose the right variety and where to buy CBD?

Note that there are a lot of strains of medical cannabis today. And in order to decide, it is necessary to find out how the individual species differ from each other.

Sellers offer 3 types of varieties of medicinal hemp seeds:

• indica - gives a sedative effect, soothes and has a positive effect on sleep;
• sativa - invigorates, has a good effect on brain function, improves physical condition;
• hybrids - can have different ratios of CBD and THC, combine the properties of both indicas and sativas with a noticeable predominance of one or another type.
