Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound in Cannabis, also known as industrial hemp. While CBD has many amazing medical effects, it does not contain any of the psychoactive ingredients (THC) found in marijuana.
CBD-rich Cannabis makes it an appealing treatment option for patients seeking anti-inflammatory, anti-pain, anti-anxiety and/or anti-spasm effects without the euphoria or lethargy associated with THC.
Scientific and clinical studies indicate that CBD could be effective in easing symptoms of a wide range of difficult-to-control conditions, including: rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, PTSD, epilepsy, antibiotic-resistant infections and neurological disorders.

CBD has demonstrated neuroprotective effects, and its anti-cancer potential is currently being explored at several academic research centers in the USA and other countries.

I was recently involved in preforming MS/MS, Mass spectrometry to identify proteins involved in depression and the experience of pain in chronically depress patients. The program let patients consume CBD and then more MS trails were preformed to see which proteins were effected in the patients who also was feeling better. They got clear results on many proteins and i think that CBD and its analogs will create many new medicinal benefits!

agreed.
Every part of the body had Cannabinoid receptors. It is like the plant was made to help us.

Yeah exactly!

Or if we were eating the plant containing CBD, in a earlier stage of the evolution(if u believe in that), a monkey stage perhaps , it might explain our physiology and why we are designed to consume these molecules.
Its high in nutrition and fiber so it would not be strange :)

wow, that's an interesting concept.
I'll have to think on that for a while...thanks.

Great post ! Create that awareness 👌

I'm trying!
thanks for reading
