Although it has a long history, the recent discovery (1992) of the body's widespread endocannabinoid system (ECS) has thrust cannabis back into the limelight again as a viable medicine.
In 2012 over 2.5 million prescriptions were written for medical marijuana in the United States.
CBD and THC are both cannabinoids found in cannabis. However, while THC produces a “high” in the user, CBD does not.
And now legal CBD-rich hemp oil is available over-the-counter in all 50 states, without a prescription.
So if you're living in the United States, it's very clear that all the CBD oil from hemp plants, are considered 100% legal and they are considered a dietary supplement by the FDA.
It was discovered that the Hemp Family of plants (cannabis, marijuana) is loaded with cannabinoids that stimulate our ECS receptor sites.
These sites are found in the:
- brain
- organs
- glands
- connective tissue and immune cells and plays regulatory roles in many physiological processes including...
- appetite
- pain-sensation
- mood and memory
Cannabinoids found in all varieties of cannabis work in harmony with the cannabinoids we naturally produce when our system is functioning properly.
It is now coming to light that we may very well be “Endocannabinoid Deficient” and supplementing with Cannabidiol, known as CBD, may provide just what we’re missing to restore optimum health.
The health benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) from natural hemp oil is this book's primary focus. It explores the similarities, differences, uses and benefits of hemp, cannabis and medical marijuana along with the interplay of THC and CBD.
Their 480 other components are also discussed, such as terpenoids, flavonoids, enzymes, vitamins, etc. Make no mistake about it, the endocannabinoid system, although newly discovered, is just as important as any other bodily system, like the muscular, cardiac, circulatory or digestive system.
The ECS requires its own specialized medicine as found in the Hemp Family of plants, which is also known as cannabis, and which includes all strains of marijuana.
