CBD 101! For many, CBD also known as cannabidiol, is now a major aspect of their daily wellness routine. The benefits of CBD has been evolving over the years, with so much information about its uses, and benefits going around choosing the right product can be difficult. Our basic CBD education guide will help you determine cannabis fact from cannabis opinion. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the non-psychoactive cannabinoid shown to reduce symptoms in people living with seizure and spasm disorders such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis. It is the cannabinoid most often recommended for elderly and other patients who must remain clear-headed in their activities because it is non-psychoactive, meaning it will not produce euphoria or the feeling of being “high.”
It works by reacting with cannabinoid receptors throughout the body and works at relieving inflammation and pain while producing a calming effect in patients. For this reason, it is known to be a possible treatment for anxiety and sleep disorders.
Effective CBD can work with our bodies through the endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system is a complex biological system. Much is unknown about how it works. Experts do know that it has the potential to impact several processes, including appetite, sleep, mood, and memory.
Real News! According to a recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, cannabis use among older adults (defined as 65 and older) in the US has been steadily increasing. In this study, the prevalence of past-year use increased from 2.4% to 4.2% from 2015 to 2018. This study is consistent with other research, as well as with reports from physicians who recommend cannabis in their daily practices.
