Anyone who thinks that Cannabis is now so freely available, at least in small doses, however. Because the over-the-counter hemp products contain Cannabidiol (CBD) and are a dietary Supplement. They are not to be confused with the strict prescription of cannabis products with THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) as an active ingredient, for the treatment of about of severe pain and various nervous disorders.
Hemp and Cannabis come from the same mother plant
But what Cannabidiol is exactly and what is the difference compared to Cannabis, so the noise – and drug marijuana, which is also used medically? In fact, hemp is basically the little sister of Cannabis. Both have a common mother plant, Cannabis sativa L.
CBD from hemp is different than the THC from the cannabis plant
Due to cross-breeding of Cannabis has been bred to be high, so that the Plant contains large amounts of THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol). THC is psychoactive, gives the Cannabis intoxication and addiction potential.
In contrast to this, simple industry or industrial hemp, its flowers and leaves are a food Supplement such as hemp – capsules-contains drops or Oil produced, particularly cannabinoids such as Cannbidiol (CBD), the non-psycho active. CBD, therefore, is not a narcotic and is not addictive, what is emphasized by the way the WHO expressly in a statement.
CBD is considered to be against players of THC and can inhibit its effects – such as rapid pulse and appetite, known side effects of the marijuana rush. Apart from Cannabidiol stimulates several different receptors on the cells and affect the function of some enzymes. Therefore, CBD may attract a whole range of effects.
