WHAT IS CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a chemical compound from the Cannabid sativa plant, which you can find in marijuana and hemp plants.

It's a naturally occurring substance that can impart a feeling of relaxation and calm. Unlike the substance, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), that also occurring naturally in marijuana, CBD is not psychoactive.

CBD won't get me high?

No. CBD is non-psychoactive portion of the plant. It means you won't have any euphoria effects.

How cbd work?

To understand how cbd interact with our bodies first you will need to know about the relationship between the receptors and endocannabinoids. There are two types of receptors: CB1 and CB2.

CB1 Receptors

These receptors are predominantly found in the central nervous system. and are responsible for memory, movement, pain, appetite, mood and other functions.

CB2 Receptors

Are in the brain, and most  found in the immune system. influencing pain, and inflammation.

After the cannabinoids brakes in our body, the endocannabinoids look for receptors paths to blind in. studies shows that CBD does not directly attach itself to the receptor but influences it in some way. Activating these receptors is what allows for many of the health benefits that people associate with CBD. unlike THC, CBD also acts through many different non-cannabinoid receptor pathways.  According to Teaera Roland of Lotus Health, CBD modulates the 5ht serotonin receptor, which can treat psychotic disorders. It can also affect the TRPV1 receptor, which is responsible for pain and inflammation. As for now research found about 65 different pathways cbd has a definite action on. Its important to keep in mind that we are still learning how other compounds interact with this system, as well as terpenes.
