Pure CBD: What We Know and What We Don’t Know

 

What is pure CBD?

Pure CBD is known as CBD isolate. To get pure natural CBD undergoes an intense purifying process to eradicate all other compounds from the hemp plant, such as THC, flavonoids, terpenes, and other cannabinoids. After extraction, an odorless, tasteless crystallized powder was obtained, which contains 99.9% pure CBD.

How is CBD different from marijuana and cannabis?

CBD is one of the active constituents in cannabis (Marijuana), while marijuana or cannabis is a plant that contains many naturally occurring compounds such as CBD and THC. However, pure CBD does not cause your mind and body high by itself. It is obtained directly from the hem, which is similar to marijuana or can be manufactured in a laboratory. According to WHO, Marijuana (cannabis) produces abusive or dependence effects while pure CBD does not associate with abuse or dependence potential.

CBD contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Besides, CBD produces relaxation-inducing effects and potentially impacts the user’s physical wellbeing and overall mental health. Many health benefits are associated with CBD oil as CBD connects the body's cannabinoid receptors and helps with complicated problems such as Crohn’s disease, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and diabetes, and cancer treatment. On the other hand, pure CBD and its products treat mild issues such as sleep, anxiety, skin problems, and brain health.

The human body also produces cannabinoids naturally called endocannabinoids. Cannabinoids act on cannabinoid receptors and release neurotransmitters in the brain and other parts of the nervous system.
