CBD Oil - A Radical New Experiment

 

CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, is one of the many active compounds found in the Cannabis plant. Out of the several compounds present in marijuana, CBD and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) are the most well-known. The THC that is present in the plant is the cause of the feelings of euphoria and “high” when cannabis smoke is ingested either by inhaling or through eating THC infused products such as gummies, brownies and other baked goods.

 Contrary to many people’s beliefs, CBD is not responsible for the “high” feeling that is attributed to smoking pot. CBD is not a mind altering chemical and does not promote the “high” feeling or euphoria. Although CBD does not produce the “high” effect, it is quickly becoming recognized for its medicinal purposes – though the jury is out as to what CBD does and how it actually benefits a person using it.

 Very little investigation has been done to support the claims of CBD as a wonder drug, though some swear by it. CBD oil is said to relieve pain, anxiety and sleep issues without making you feel “stoned” as THC would. But there are still many holdouts on the effects of CBD. Legislators in the United States are studying the “real” effect of CBD oil on the previously mentioned illnesses.

 Some claim great success with its use, while others remain on the fence as to the therapeutic benefit of CBD. In Canada, where marijuana is legal, CBD oil is enjoying somewhat of resurgence in the marketplace as a miracle cure for many ailments including muscle pain, anxiety and a myriad of mental health issues. CBD oil is being touted as the new “sliced bread” in homeopathic circles, with claims the oil works.

CBD oil is available in Canada at marijuana dispensaries and at marijuana dealers that are sanctioned by government sale. There are many brands of CBD oil available, though the Cadillac of CBD oils in Canada is CBD-North, a full spectrum oil that is touted to work to relieve depression and mood disorders and is rated the number one CBD oil on the market in Canada.

 CBD-North is made with natural organic elements only, and is available in multiple potency levels with fast reaction times and claims that it is highly effective. Medical and related industries are not rushing to embrace the good effects of CBD oil. Many medical professionals are still left undecided, much like the use of medicinal marijuana is (or at least was in Canada) controversial and unusual. In any case the future of CBD oil on the North American market is only expected to increase.

 There is hard evidence that CBD oil is effective in shrinking tumors and aiding with the administration of cancer meds, and there are encouraging studies happening that would point to CBD as a very good addition to cancer therapy. But again, even with this new evidence, the medical community at large has yet to embrace the full power of CBD oil.
