Research on CBD.


CBD, formally known as cannabidiol, naturally occurs in cannabis plants. The CBD extract does not get you high but may provide health benefits. On the other hand, THC ( tetrahydrocannabinol ) is the component in marijuana that makes you high.


A lot of dilemmas have been on the legality of CBD. But it's all a bit confusing. In the United State, hemp is now legal, but the government has not created a system which allows people to freely grow hemp. Marijuana is considered illegal and seems CBD comes from marijuana.


Cannabinoids are similar to the chemicals made by our body which are involved in appetite, memory, movement, and pain. There is evidence that suggests it might help reduce anxiety and inflammation, relaxes tight muscles, reduce pain and even slow tumor growth. 


There are products that contain CBD, most especially in the production of oil. Other products of CBD Include lotions, creams, shampoos, candies, cookies, beers and make ups. Results of a consumer survey indicate that around 7% of US adults use CBD products, which means there could be as many as 15 - 20 million people consuming CBD.
