Cannabidiol (CBD) is an abundant cannabinoid found in the
cannabis plant. Along with the more well-known THC, it makes up most of the
cannabinoid content found in cannabis and does not have a psychoactive effect.
Over the last 20 years there has been an influx in studies
into cannabinoids such as CBD as more stories come out regarding the positive
health benefits. As CBD and cannabinoids have now undergone thousands clinical
trials, it is safe to say it has been serious under utilised as a supplement
and making it an illegal substance was a mistake.
What sparked a large interest in cannabinoids was the
discovery of the endocannabinoid system and finding out that the human body was
covered with receptors for cannabinoids. With receptors all through the body,
cannabinoids such as CBD have the ability to affect us in so many different ways
through many different organs. While CBD can do many things, it’s main
resulting benefit is pushing your body to a healthy state of homeostasis.
