Popular Questions About CBD

CBD or Cannabidiol is one of over 113 discovered cannabinoids within cannabis and the predominant cannabinoid found in hemp varieties. Cannabinoids are chemical compounds found in Hemp that interact with natural cannabinoid receptors found in your body. Discovered in 1940 by the iconic chemist Roger Adams. Adams and his colleagues isolated the cannabinoid from what they called Minnesota wild hemp. It wasn’t until 1970 that Israeli scientists discovered that CBD is not psychoactive.

To understand how CBD works in your body you first must understand that your body produces its own natural cannabinoids called endogenous cannabinoids, also known as endocannabinoids. These are neurotransmitter molecules designed to bind with cannabinoid receptors found within your endocannabinoid system. The endocannabinoid system helps to regulate a number of health functions in your body and is a very important and fairly new discovery. Introducing Phyto- cannabinoids like CBD found naturally in plants such as hemp to your body, acts as a boost to this system and helps balance endocannabinoid production.

CBD itself is not Marijuana. Marijuana is an old reefer madness term used to describe cannabis. CBD will NOT get you high. CBD or cannabidiol is a non-psychoactive compound meaning it doesn’t have the ability to get you high even in large doses. 

The most beneficial part of using CBD is its interaction with your natural endocannabinoid system.  

Minor cannabinoids are less abundant within the plant but aren’t any less important. Some minor cannabinoids like CBG are the beginning or mother cannabinoids to the more abundant compounds such as CBD. The Cannabinoid CBG undergoes a metabolic process turning into another cannabinoids before flowering maturity.

The endocannabinoid system is a large receptor system found in your body. The largest receptor system found in the body, and plays a very important role in regulating many health functions. The endocannabinoid system can be found amongst all vertebrates. This includes Mammals, Fish, Birds, and Reptiles. Discovered in 1988 and with an understanding of CB Receptors by 1991 this discovery quickly became one of the most important findings of the human body to date. The way the endocannabinoid system functions is to help bring balance to the body’s most important systems such as, reproductive, immune, nervous, digestive and more. This happens with a series of receptors found throughout the body. This network of receptors interacts with cannabinoids released within your body and found in virtually all tissues in the body including the heart, brain, skin and organs. The cells and tissue responsible for regulating functions such as memory, mood, pain, appetite etc are all influenced by the endocannabinoid system and contain the receptors necessary for its function. Endocannabinoids or endogenous cannabinoids are released naturally within the body and function within the endocannabinoid system. Phyto-cannabinoids can be found in Hemp and Cannabis and are introduced to the endocannabinoid and help bring balance to regulatory systems within your body.
