In recent years, science has focused increasingly on cannabinoids, particularly on the non-psychoactive Cannabidiol (CBD), which has already been successfully used in various natural treatment methods for different diseases. However, the hemp plant has much more to offer. Out of a total of 113 naturally occurring cannabinoids, THC and CBD are undoubtedly the most well-known. While CBD gains popularity for its numerous benefits, there are still misunderstandings, as it comes from the cannabis plant and is still associated with drug use and addiction by some people, despite CBD being non-psychoactive and non-harmful.
THC and CBD: The Two Main Components of the Cannabis Plant
On the other hand, THC is the psychoactive main component of the cannabis plant that makes people "high." In contrast, CBD has no psychoactive effects and is responsible for many positive health benefits.
Medical Potential of THC
Although THC is often used recreationally to induce a high, it also has medical applications. Medical THC oil, for example, can be prescribed to alleviate painful and debilitating medical conditions.
Eight Cannabinoids with Medical Potential
- THCA: Main component of raw cannabis with anti-inflammatory, appetite-stimulating, tumor-inhibiting, and antispasmodic effects.
- THCV: Found in certain cannabis strains and being researched as a treatment option for metabolic disorders.
- CBDA: Main component of CBD-rich cannabis with anti-inflammatory and tumor-inhibiting properties.
- CBN: Oxidation product of THC with potential use in sleep therapy.
- CBG: Stimulates the growth of new brain cells and has antibacterial properties.
The Significance of CBD
In addition to THC and CBD, the cannabis plant contains other interesting cannabinoids with medical potential. CBD, in particular, is worth highlighting:
What is CBD?
CBD is derived from industrial hemp - cannabis. It is a safe, natural extract widely believed to be incredibly helpful for a variety of issues. The benefits are attributed to natural chemicals in the cannabis plant known as cannabinoids.
How Does CBD Work?
CBD interacts with your body's endocannabinoid system (eCS) to maintain overall body balance. It has proven to be extremely valuable in treating conditions such as MS and epilepsy, and has a good effect in relieving pain and tumors. Additionally, it lowers blood sugar and can be used in the treatment of diabetes. CBD also has a calming effect and is useful in treating stress-related disorders and sleep loss.
Various Types of CBD Products
There are different types of CBD products, each containing different chemical components of the cannabis plant:
- Isolate: Contains only pure cannabidiol without other chemical components of the cannabis plant.
- Broad-Spectrum CBD: Contains all other useful chemical components of the cannabis plant except THC.
- Full-Spectrum CBD: Contains trace amounts of THC, but not enough to have psychoactive effects.
