What is CBD?
CBD is one over 60 compounds found in cannabis that belong to a class of ingredients called cannabinoids. Until recently, THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) was getting most of the attention because it’s the ingredient in cannabis that produces intoxicating effects in users. But CBD is also present in High concentrations – and the world is awakening to its possible benefits.
CBD is the major non-euphoric component of Cannabis sativa. Some research is beginning to show that CBD is different tan other well-studied cannabinoids. All cannabinoids function as ligands, meaning they dock onto the binding site of a protein and the ability to modulate a receptor’s behaviour. CB1 receptors are widely distributed, but are particularly abundant in areas of the brain, including those concerned with movement, coordination, sensory perception, emotion, memory, cognition, autonomic and endocrine functions.
CB2 receptors are found mostly in the immune system. Although cannabinoids all have similar structures, they display a wide array of actions at each of the different receptor sites. However, scientists are finding out that, overall, CBD has very little effect on CB1 and CB2 receptors. Which probably explains why it doesn’t have the same mind-altering effects as THC, the compound that positively regulates the CB1 receptor. That’s why most cannabis grown for recreational purposes are typically very low in CBD and high in THC.
THC does typically come with a long list of health benefits, but the clinical use of this cannabis compound is often limited by its unwanted psychoactive side effects in people. For this reason, interest is non-intoxicating phytocannabinoids, such as CBD, has substantially increased in recent years. In fact, CBD is being used in conjunction with THC for more favourable effects.
CBD also appears to balance some effects of THC. This is probably what makes CBD so appealing.
