CBD 101
WHAT IS CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive compound (cannabinoid) found in the marijuana and hemp plant. The hemp plant is a relative of the marijuana plant and they both belong to the Cannabis Sativa family of plants. However, hemp plants produce higher amounts of CBD and virtually zero THC (.03 % or less), while marijuana plants produce higher amounts of THC and lower amounts of CBD. CBD interacts with one of our systems, the endocannabinoid system, a system that functions in every part of our physiological process. The endocannabinoids system’s job is to keep our bodies in balance. When off-balance happens, we begin to see an array of ailments flair up in our Mind-Body-Spirit. When CBD is taken orally or topically, it “feeds” this system, as the compounds found in the Cannabis plant (marijuana & hemp) mimic our very own. Because CBD aids the endocannabinoid system find balance wherever it is off, CBD is known to heal an array of dis-eases as it helps our bodies find homeostasis once again.
