chemical compound found in the cannabis
And how
could it be used to treat so many different disorders and diseases?
CBD, or
cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant.
business Though it is
one of the many ingredients in marijuana, CBD itself does not produce the same
effects.
Many
people associate CBD with marijuana, assuming that it’s a drug that people use
to get high. But that’s not actually the case. CBD itself is only one of the
two primary compounds in marijuana, and it is not the psychoactive one.
THC, or
tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive component in marijuana. It is
separated from CBD during CBD production, such that CBD products contain less
than 0.3% THC by weight. This is the legal requirement for CBD products in the
United States.
One FDA Approved
Currently,
there’s only one FDA approved CBD-derived drug: Epidiolex. This is used to
treat seizures, especially those resulting from severe types of epilepsy.
But more
generally, CBD product has been used to alleviate symptoms of anxiety,
depression, and chronic pain. And it’s currently being studied for its use in
cancer treatments and to combat symptoms of neurological diseases.
