Medicinal benefits and uses of CBD
The use of CBD, also known as cannabidiol, has spread due to its medicinal benefits and the various uses it offers. In addition to its application in creams and ointments, CBD is also present in mattresses and other products.
Demystifying CBD
Although society still has prejudices and ignorance about the marijuana plant, scientific studies have been demystifying CBD. Contrary to what is believed, CBD is not addictive nor does it have contraindications. On the contrary, it offers various benefits to the human body due to its natural base.
Education and misinformation
Marcela Joya, founder of Bionnabis Colombia, affirms that the best way to demystify the use of CBD and other derivatives of the Cannabis plant is through education. Although misinformation and confusion still exists, education can change this situation and eliminate unfounded fears.
Bionnabis: Value content and traceability
Bionnabis, a company that sells CBD products, focuses on generating valuable content supported by scientific sources. In addition to the sale of products, the company promotes the traceability of the plant derivative and the concentration in the merchandise. He also participates in educational programs related to Cannabis in Colombia.
CBD products on the market
In the Colombian market, you can find various products with CBD since 2017. These include creams, eye contours, oils to relieve headaches, ointments and even mattresses. The variety of products allows people to experience the benefits of CBD on different parts of the body, such as skin and hair.
The future of CBD in Colombia
CBD has the potential to reach Colombians’ tables in the form of foods, supplements and beverages. Regulation in this regard is in process and it is expected that standards for traceability and concentration of the Cannabinoid in the products will be established. This will allow for a safe and controlled use of CBD for the benefit of consumers.
Authorization of the use of medicinal cannabis in Colombia
The government of Colombia announced Resolution 227 of 2022, which regulates the use of medicinal cannabis in the country. The Ministry of Health has established the steps, licenses and quotas for the regulation of the use of medicinal cannabis in beverages, food and other products. These licenses have a duration of 5 to 10 years and adequate regulation is required by entities such as Invima and the Ministry of Justice and Law.
