The Cannabis plant has been cultivated and used for centuries. The two main plant species used are Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica These plants contain more than 80 different cannabinoids. The psychoactive component is THC ( this is marijuana) whereas the non psychoactive part is CBD. Different strains of the plant are grown to contain different amounts of CBD and THC. There are benefits to using the psychoactive THC. I do refer patients to get a Marijuana Card from the correct physician. I utilize CBD , the psychoactive part in many patients. It is overwhelming to read the number of diseases that have used both parts of the hemp plant. The endocannabinoid System ( ECS) in our bodies is well researched and extensively studied. We have CB1 and CB2 receptors throughout the body.
You must get a good quality CBD product. There are many on the market. I use the company, Canbiola for most of my products. I refer patients to get many different types of CBD from this company. I use their roll on / cream for pain. I also utilize Diamond CBD for infused gummy bears for sleep. Another company is EBM which I use often
I encourage my patients to investigate CBD as a treatment option for many of their health related concerns
