High CBD Medicine

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the many cannabinoid compounds that the cannabis plant produces. CBD exhibits numerous therapeutic properties, but what makes this compound so interesting to doctors and scientists is that it does not provide the psychoactive effect normally associated with cannabis; in other words, CBD does not get you high. In fact, lab experiments with CBD have shown that this compound can actually helps decrease the psychoactive effects of THC!

CBD can be used therapeutically as an analgesic, anti-anxiety, anti-bacterial, anti-cancerous, anti-convulsive, anti-depressant, anti-emetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-ischemic, anti-psychotic, anti-spasmotic, bone stimulating, immunosuppressive, and neuroprotective medicine.

It is interesting to note that CBD actually works synergistically with the other cannabinoids in order to provide a potentiated, or more powerful therapy in what is known as the Entourage Effect. What this means is that each of the compounds contained within the plant (the cannabinoids and terpenoids) work harmoniously with each other to create synergistic therapeutic properties!

The scientific paper referred to on this page, Cannabidiol: from an inactive cannabinoid to a drug with wide spectrum of action was published in 2008, by Antonio Zuardi, and describes the history of CBD, its possible therapeutic applications, and exhaustive reviews of every scientific experimentation utilizing cannabidiol from the 1970s up to 2008!
