Basic knowledge of CBD

 

1. What is industrial hemp? It contains two main components, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabinol (CBD). THC is easily exciting and addictive, while CBD will not induce hallucination or addiction, and has pharmacological effects such as antispasmodic, anti anxiety, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, etc. Industrial hemp refers to the hemp with THC content less than 0.3%. CBD is the main value of industrial hemp.

 

2. What is CBD? CBD is the abbreviation of Cannabidiol.It is one of the 104 compounds found in hemp or hemp plants with the most medical value.

3. Differences between THC and CBD Although some people in China translate CBD into hemp oil, CBD cannot be equated with cannabis. Smoking marijuana is exciting, mainly because it contains THC, which is strictly controlled by most countries in the world. CBD is different from THC. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the main nerve hemp found in marijuana and can excite people. However, unlike THC, CBD is not a neural compound. This feature makes CBD a powerful choice for consumers to seek to relieve pain and other symptoms, and eliminate the effects of cannabis or certain drugs on the brain.

 

According to the research report of Bayer, a world-famous pharmaceutical company, long-term use of CBD at high doses (up to 1500 mg/day) is still well tolerated in humans. Despite the molecular similarity between CBD and THC, CBD has weak interaction with cannabinoid receptor only at very high doses (100 times of THC). In addition, CBD will not have the same impact on human thinking and perception as THC. Different pharmacological properties make CBD and THC have completely different performance. The following is part of the report:

Why CBD is the future direction of electronic cigarette？

Smokers smoke traditional cigarettes because of nicotine addiction. At the same time, traditional tobacco smoke contains more than 4000 other compounds, many of which are toxic and will damage our cells. Tar can cause bronchitis and lung disease. Acetone, used as nail polish remover. Arsenic, common in pesticides. Benzene, a carcinogen. Ammonia for dry cleaning. Cadmium, which causes liver and kidney cancer and brain damage.

 

The solution of the traditional electronic cigarette is to provide the smokers with nicotine, at the same time, so that the smokers do not have to suffer from the loss of other harmful substances in the traditional tobacco. The traditional electronic cigarette dissolves nicotine in glycerin for smokers to smoke. Nicotine can make the human body produce dopamine, which makes people feel happy and relaxed. It is addictive. Nicotine can stimulate sympathetic nerve, release adrenaline, and cause physiological reactions such as faster heartbeat, higher blood pressure and faster respiration. Nicotine also inhibits appetite.

 

CBD is non-toxic and non spiritual substance. CBD is non-toxic in non transformed cells, will not induce changes in food intake, will not induce systemic stiffness, will not affect physiological parameters (heart rate, blood pressure and temperature), will not affect gastrointestinal transport and will not change psychomotor or psychological functions. At the same time, CBD has the functions of anti anxiety, sedation, anti insomnia, neuroprotection, cardiovascular protection, metabolism and immune regulation.

Therefore, CBD, as an alternative to nicotine e-cigarette, has received more and more attention. The data obtained from Google Trends shows that the attention of CBD has been rising in the past year.
