Cannabidiol (CBD), the major non-psychoactive constituent of Cannabis sativa L., has gained traction as a potential treatment for intractable chronic pain in many conditions.

Hemp oil has many benefits. Should you consider using hemp oil?

Hemp Oil Benefits for Pain

This is a complicated and controversial topic, and the following is my interpretation.

What is hemp oil?

What is CBD?

And where does marijuana fit in?

The hemp plant and marijuana plant come from the same botanical species-Cannabis Sativa. Cannabinoids are a group of substances found in the cannabis sativa plant. The main cannabinoids are Cannibidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The cannabis sativa plant has many parts-stalk, seeds, leaves and flower. THC in the marijuana plant is from the flower and leaves. The only distinction between marijuana and hemp is the concentration of THC. THC is the main psychoactive compound. Marijuana has hallucinogenic affects and hemp does not.

Hemp has long been used for food, fiber, and medicine. Hemp oil is a full spectrum product from the whole plant.

CBD receptors exist throughout our bodies, in cells and walls of our organs and tissues.  Research on the pharmacology of individual cannabinoids started in the 1940s; however, in 1988, the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) was discovered. The ECS connects all the body’s organs and systems. What we learned about this system is that it is the largest receptor system and master regulator of homeostasis. Homeostasis is a condition of optimal functioning, balance, and equilibrium. Taking cannabis sativa products facilitates the optional function of the ECS system.
