    What Is Cannabidiol and What Are Its Uses?

    By Margherita Dugini 30th April 2021

    Everything You Need to Know About Cannabis CBD.

    Some people say it has miraculous powers, others use it on a daily basis, and some still confuse it with THC. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is increasingly the center of attention when talking about Cannabis Sativa and the boom of legal marijuana. But what is it exactly and what are its effects? Here is an essential guide to the properties of this cannabinoid.

    CBD: What Is It?

    Cannabidiol, a.k.a. CBD, is one of the main Phytocannabinoids present in Cannabis Sativa. More specifically, it is the second in quantity, with a concentration that can be as high as 40%. It has been at the center of medical and pharmaceutical research because of its therapeutic properties, and its effectiveness has been proven in many studies with several applications. In fact, its action, combined with the effects of the tarpenes and of the flavonoids present in cannabis, has beneficial effects on our organism. For this reason it can be a precious ally in the treatment of different diseases while the risk of addiction is nonexistent.

    CBD and THC: What’s the Difference?

    THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, is the cannabinoid that is found in greatest amounts in cannabis plants.
    Unlike CBD, it is a psychoactive substance, i.e. it has a psychotropic effect. Appreciated for its analgesic, antioxidant, and antiseptic properties, it may also induce euphoria and altered perception. CBD, on the other hand, has no psychotropic effect while preserving the positive effects of cannabinoids.

    Cannabidiol: Uses.

    Therapeutic use of CBD is indicated in case of inflammation, pain, nausea, and immune deficiency.
    Among other things, it:

    • Reduces chronic pain (migraine, fibromyalgia, arthritis, etc.);
    • Prevents cardiovascular diseases;
    • Alleviates nausea and other symptoms induced by cancer;
    • Improves the immune system’s response
    • Contributes to skin health.

    CBD is also useful as an antipsychotic, anxiolytic, and relaxant. For this reason, it can be effective in the treatment of psychic or neurological diseases such as:

    • Schizophrenia
    • Depression
    • Epilepsy
    • Parkinson’s
    • Alzheimer’s
    • Anorexia

    Is CBD Legal?

    Because of its lack of psychotropic effects, cannabidiol is legal almost all over Europe. Unlike THC, CBD won’t get you high. Rather, it has a soothing effect that enhances overall wellbeing by increasing the brain’s production of serotonin.

    Where Can You Buy CBD?

    CBD oil in drops doesn’t require a medical prescription and may be purchased online or in dedicated shops. It doesn’t have specific side effects but, as with all supplements, you should discuss it with your doctor if you are taking other medicines. Interactions may have unpleasant side-effects. Furthermore, it is always a good idea to purchase your CBD from certified retailers who can ensure the quality of the product.
