The potential benefits of CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the best known cannabinoids. Therapeutic uses of CBD alone, which is derived from industrial hemp, have been legal for some time now. This compound stimulates the endocannabinoid system and can provide a long list of potential therapies. Many of those known effects can be found in the included infographic.

People sometimes comment that no drug can possibly have this many benefits. While that may be true in general terms, it is important to understand that the underlying mechanisms are a part of the endocannabinoid system itself. This native human system has a huge influence on nearly every other system in the human body. Healthy cannabinoid system function is essential for good health.

While I could easily produce an essay detailing these therapies and I could even crow about how CBD has little or no negative side effects, I’d rather refer you to a well-researched article on the topic of therapeutic benefits of CBD.

Although patients can source their CBD from a variety of legal sources, we plan on providing alternatives that are grown in clean, medical grade environments. This should provide a high quality option to the common, field grown industrial hemp varieties. We firmly believe that this should be a preferred alternative given that CBD ‘supplements’ offer far fewer guarantees regarding quality and purity.
