What is CBD?

Cannabis plants contain a group of chemical compounds known as phytocannabinoids. There are over 100 cannabinoids and they provide cannabis plants with its unique properties. CBD stands for cannabidiol, is one of phytocannabinoids and provides lots of potential therapeutic benefits. Although cannabis is famous for its intoxicating properties, CBD has no such effect. THC is responsible for the psychoactive properties of cannabis. CBD does not have any intoxicating effects and will not get users "high".

In recent years, scientists discovered that our bodies have a cell-signalling system now known as the endocannabinoid system (ECS). CBD can work with the ECS to provide support for our health and wellbeing. Therefore, scientists and medical doctors globally began researching to find out more about cannabinoids. 

How does CBD work?

Even though CBD and THC are both phytocannabinoids, they have different qualities and interact with ECS receptors in different ways. The ECS receptors are known as CB1 and CB2 and represent crucial parts of the ECS. CB1 cannabinoid receptors are mainly located in the brain and central nervous system, while CB2 receptors are predominantly found in the immune system. 

The ECS's primary role is to support and maintain homeostatic balance in the mind and body by regulating critical bodily processes like sleep, mood, pain, and appetite. Although CBD does not bind directly with CB1 receptors as THC does, CBD can prevent the reuptake of certain neurotransmitters. 

Types of CBD

There are three types of hemp extract, called full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, and CBD isolate. Full-spectrum CBD oil contains a wide range of natural compounds present in hemp plants, including minor cannabinoids, flavonoids, terpenes, and traces of THC. Alongside CBD, there will be other phytocannabinoids such as CBC and CBN present in the final product. In contrast, broad-spectrum CBD also contains a wide array of plant elements present in the source plants, but no traces of THC. THC is the active intoxicating cannabinoid, and it is removed during the complicated extraction process to avoid showing up on drug tests, making it an appealing option for sportspeople. CBD isolate is the purest form of CBD because all other elements present in the source plants are taken out during the extraction and refined processes. CBD isolate is considered less potent than full-spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD extracts because it does not benefit from the entourage effect.

What is the difference between hemp and marijuana?

Hemp and marijuana are varieties of cannabis which come from a plant family known as Cannabaceae. Although these two plants are similar in many ways, they differ significantly in their cannabinoid composition. Industrial hemp naturally contains less than 0.2% THC and 5-8% CBD. In contrast, marijuana has much more THC – around 10-20% - and much less CBD. This is what makes hemp cultivation and sale legal in most countries, while marijuana is mostly illegal.

Does CBD have side effects?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) reported CBD as a safe non-intoxicating substance that is well tolerated by humans without causing public health concerns. Even though CBD has a good safety profile there have been some reported mild side effects. These include mild fatigue, drowsiness, diarrhoea and appetite changes. Adverse effects are more common in new users who have begun taking CBD in large doses. However, side effects are rare if CBD is taken in recommended doses. It is also vital to remember that CBD can interact with medications and other supplements. Therefore, it is advised to consult your physician before using any CBD product to prevent any harmful interactions.
