CBD and THC are the main two components of the marijuana plant. CBD offers low side effects with medical results. CBD does not have mind altering effects that THC has. CBD has been proven to help pain and inflammation, produces antipsychotic effects, reduces anxiety, fights cancer, relieves nausea, treats seizures and neurolgial disorders, lowers diabetes and promotes cardiovascular health. CBD is being used to treat the side effects of THC. There are currently 17 states that allow medical marijuana to be used to treat patients.
Key Takeaways:
- Among common CBD benefits, natural pain relief tops the list for many. Evidence suggests that cannabinoids may prove useful in pain modulation by inhibiting neuronal transmission in pain pathways
- A 2012 study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that CBD significantly suppressed chronic inflammatory and neuropathic pain in rodents without causing analgesic tolerance
- Researchers suggest that CBD and other nonpsychoactive components of marijuana may represent a novel class of therapeutic agents for the treatment of chronic pain.
“Only recently, marijuana and chemically related compounds have come back to being considered of therapeutic value.”
