CBD Pure Hemp Oil Review: Is it Safe to Use CBD Oil supplements?
What is hemp, is it better than cannabis, what benefits can it offer, there are a lot of questions that are related to hemp and I will be trying to answer a few of them, perhaps the ones that are more important, in this review of CBD Pure Hemp Oil.
Hemp is different but at the same time similar to cannabis. They belong to the same species of plants, cannabis is psychoactive but hemp is not. The differences between them are found inside the plants, the nutrients, the chemicals, the quantities. For instance, I just mentioned that only cannabis is psychoactive, not hemp.
What makes it psychoactive is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is a chemical, a cannabinoid that is found naturally in bot
h hemp and cannabis, but why is only cannabis psychoactive? Simple, it has a lot of THC while hemp has very little of it. That is the big part of the reason but there is also another part played by CBD (cannabidiol). CBD is another cannabinoid, like THC, and it has the property of inhibiting the psychoactive effect of THC and since hemp has a lot of THC (more than cannabis), it does a good job of inhibiting that "high" that you would otherwise get with cannabis, making the plant completely non-psychoactive and non-intoxicating.
CBD is the big star when it comes to health benefits and therapeutic properties. It is CBD that is responsible for the effects that you may have read online or heard about such as anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anti-depressant, anti-convulsant, anti-psychotic, antibacterial and so on.
Yes, cannabidiol works by stimulating the CB1 and CB2 receptors that are a part of the endocannabinoid system present in the human body. THC works in the same way but CBD does not directly bind to these receptors, that is the difference between the two. Your own body can produce cannabinoids and they are also found naturally in human breast milk.
This is why cannabis and hemp are special, why these plants have so many benefits for us and why they have all of these effects on the human body because they very closely resemble chemicals that are produced by your own body and that belong in your own endocannabinoid system.
Basically, CBD is an indirect antagonist to the receptors in the endocannabinoid system and it is a powerful antioxidant by the way.
CBD can also be used with other opioid analgesics and it can actually improve their effectiveness because it acts on opioid receptors in the human body. Cannabidiol is still being researched but we've definitely learned a lot about it and we now more than ever understand just how important it is for health.
Be sure to consult with a medic before you start using CBD or cannabidiol oil, especially if you are pregnant/nursing or taking other drugs.
