What allows it to effectively treat so many conditions, and maintain health and wellness in the body, is how the cannabinoids found in CBD interact with receptors throughout our body. In 1988, the first cannabinoid receptor was discovered. Two years later,  the second cannabinoid receptor was found as part of the immune and central nervous systems CB1 and CB2. 

Fast forward to 1995, researchers discovered that these receptors, now officially referred to as the CB1 receptor and CB2 receptor were found in humans. Scientists discovered that there are systems our bodies that are solely dependent on their interaction with cannabinoids, and these systems are part of vital functions in our bodies. Basically, our bodies were designed to work with cannabinoids, and they can even be considered as essential to our overall health and wellness. 

CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid, meaning it does not have an effect on cognitive brain activity and doesn’t cause the “high” feeling that is associated with THC. CBD and THC are the most known cannabinoids in the cannabis family. Each has different therapeutic qualities but are best when paired together. CBD can mitigate the adverse effects of THC. CBD products cannot have more than .3% of THC.

As people react differently to medications, the same is true for CBD. For some people, results are seen immediately. For others results may take 1-3 weeks. It is important to stay patient as you will need to experiment with dosages. Be consistent with dosages. Some research has shown the following benefits: relaxation, less stress, improved mood, reduce pain, increased focus, sleep improvement and improves symptoms of may ailments.
