Below, we have compiled a collection of frequently asked questions.
How does CBD work?
CBD first interacts with your body’s endocannabinoid system, this is a group of millions of cannabinoid receptors found all through your body, they are mainly clustered in the brain and central nervous system. CBD is a phytocannabinoid and a plant-based cannabinoid, did you know that your body naturally produces cannabinoids? They are known as endocannabinoids. Just about every one of your organs contains cannabinoid receptors. The endocannabinoid system has 4 main purposes including:
- neuroprotection
- stress relief
- immune response
- regulating the body’s general state of balance including appetite, sleep, mood, and pain
Opposite to THC, CBD does not influence your 2 classical cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2. For that reason, CBD does not have any psychoactive effect. Rather, CBD inhibits the enzymes that break down endocannabinoids, promoting an increase in your body’s naturally-produced cannabinoids. For the nerds: CBD’s molecular formula is C21H30O2 Molecular mass is 314.4636
