Introduction to Cannabidiol (CBD)
Cannabidiol, known as CBD, is a compound present in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, another ingredient in cannabis, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the effects associated with “high” sensations or distorted sensory experiences.
Therapeutic Properties of CBD
CBD has gained attention in the scientific field due to its therapeutic and medicinal properties. Studies have shown that CBD offers health and wellness benefits, including relief from chronic pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, epilepsy, autism, and other ailments.
Types of CBD
There are three types of CBD: full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and isolate. Each type has its own chemical composition and comes in different formats, such as oils, creams, crystals, essences, among others.
Benefits of CBD
CBD offers benefits for relieving pain, reducing anxiety, treating insomnia and various conditions such as epilepsy, arthritis, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
Difference between CBD and THC
It is important to note that CBD and THC are two different cannabinoids. While THC is known for its psychoactive effects, CBD does not produce such effects and is considered safe for consumption.
CBD Production and Consumption
CBD is produced naturally in the cannabis plant and is used in various formats, such as flowers, oils, creams, among others. Its consumption is legal as long as the product contains a THC percentage of less than 0.2%.
Risks and Legality of CBD
CBD is considered safe and legal, as long as it complies with the regulations that regulate its THC percentage. Although in exceptional cases it may cause mild side effects, its consumption and sale are permitted.
