What is CBD, How it Works and Why is it So
Popular?

• Lets start the discussion..

• Medical marijuana is a hotly debated issue right
  now. There are arguments for and against.
  Marijuana contains several compounds. One of
  these compounds is Cannabidiol or CBD. It has
  lately caught the attention of the medical
  community. The community has reached a consensus
  that CBD has therapeutic benefits.Alongside
  ordinary users who propped this consensus were
  celebrities known for their CBD consumption
  habit. They all held that CBD gave them relief
  from pain and inflammation.

Cannabis and CBD
6

• Typical bong rippers smoke cannabis only to get
  high not because they want to accomplish some
  productive goals in life. These people are looked
  down upon. And so is cannabis. But the abhorrence
  felt towards cannabis is completely unreasonable.
  Cannabis is beneficial for us, people give it a
  bad name by abusing it, instead of using.
  ailments.

This needs to change and CBD is changing it.
According to recent studies, Tetrahydrocannabinol
or THC causes the mind-altering effect that
stoners are so fond of. But beyond that, THC has
little medical value. CBD, on the other hand, can
sort out a wide range of ailments.We are going
to discuss what these ailments are and how CBD
functions as a bulwark against them. But
first

What is CBD?

• CBD is medically defined as a non-psychoactive
  marijuana compound. It is found in marijuana as
  well as in hemp. The two strains of CBD
  hemp-derived and cannabis-derived differ from
  each other. Even though CBD accounts for up to
  40 of cannabis extract, it is not as widely
  distributed as THC.
• CBDs chemical structure has 21 molecules of
  carbon, 30 molecules of hydrogen and 2 molecules
  of oxygen. Its molar mass is 314.464 grams per
  mole.

How does CBD work?
11

• Human brain is dense with cannabinoid receptors.
  Aside from the brain, these receptors exist in
  the immune system.
• Cannabinoid receptors fall into two categories
  CB1 and CB2 receptors. The first types of
  receptors are found in the brain and the second
  types in the immune system.

12

• CBD, unlike other cannabinoids, doesnt actively
  stimulate CB1 and CB2 receptors. Instead, it
  activates the following receptors
• 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a receptors Also known as
  serotonin receptor, 5-hydroxytryptamine 1a
  receptor or 5HT1a receptor is a subtype of 5HT
  receptor. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter. Its
  imbalance can cause anxiety and mood swing. CBD
  stimulates 5HT1a receptor to fix the imbalance
  and bring a calming feeling.

13

• GPR55 receptors GPR55 is found in an area in the
  brain called cerebellum. These receptors
  accelerate osteoclast cell function, which ripens
  into osteoporosis a disease that weakens the
  bones and makes them too fragile.
• Nuclear receptors Each cell has nucleus
  containing PPRA receptors. These are called
  nuclear receptors. When these receptors are
  activated, tumor inhibiting triggers are
  activated. Aside from that, amyloid-beta plaque
  starts to reduce. By activating nuclear
  receptors, CBD fights with cancer and Alzheimers
  disease.

14

• CBD works on the molecular level. Scientists have
  studied and confirmed it but till date its not
  clear to them how. They are still trying to
  explore CBD and hopefully, an explanation of how
  CBDs healing effect impacts the molecules, will
  be offered soon.

15
Benefits of CBD
16

• As mentioned earlier, CBD can heal a wide range
  of health issues, including pain, inflammation,
  tumor, diabetes, seizure, nausea, neurological
  impairment, oxidative injury, digestive problems,
  epilepsy, anxiety, schizophrenia more.
• CBD offers natural relief from pain. Those who
  took CBD to lessen chronic pain, found surprising
  results. Theres a scientific reason why CBD is
  so effective in alleviating pain. Chronic
  inflammation is often neuropathic pain in
  disguise, especially if the pain lasts after the
  inflammation heals. CBD can reprogram the neuro
  pathways and alley the pain.

17

• CBD lowers high insulin level in the blood. It
  has been found by numerous studies including one
  conducted by the American Journal of Medicine.
  The study revealed that marijuana consumption can
  cause fasting insulin level to go down by a
  whopping 16.
• In the year 2013, the British Journal of Clinical
  Pharmacology cited CBDs effectiveness in
  improving cardiovascular health. Through clinical
  trials, they found CBD can reduce vascular
  hyperpermeability, which is known commonly as
  leaky gut.

18

• CBD is very popular among cancer patients. There
  have been scientific studies as well as anecdotes
  describing the benefits of CBD in preventing the
  growth of malignant tumors. Unlike invasive
  cancer treatment procedures like chemotherapy,
  which negatively affect non-tumor cells, CBD,
  owing to its non-toxic nature doesnt harm those
  cells.

19
CBD adoption
20

• Research has been going on since the mid-2000s to
  understand CBD. The adoption rate, however,
  increased only lately. And thats largely because
  celebrities endorsing CBD is a recent phenomenon.
  Also, there were not enough sources in the past
  that could educate us on the benefits of CBD.
  However, all these are changing now and thats a
  good thing.

21
Concluding remarks
22

• Perception is reality. Perception of CBD is
  changing and so is the reality around it. I
  personally wont be surprised to see it becoming
  mainstream in the medical world. And you
  shouldnt be either.
