Clinical and Pre-Clinical Trials of CBD Show Significant Promise.
While THC is the principal psychoactive component of Cannabis and has certain medical uses, CBD stands out because it is both non-psychoactive and displays a broad range of potential medical applications. These properties make it especially attractive as a therapeutic agent.
Cannabis has a profound influence on the human body. This one herb and its variety of therapeutic compounds seem to affect every aspect of our bodies and minds. How can it be so safe while offering such powerful effects?
The search to answer these questions has led scientists to the discovery of a previously unknown physiologic system, a central component of the health and healing of every human and almost every animal: the endocannabinoid system.
Named after the cannabis plant that led to its discovery, the Endocannabinoid System, with its complex actions in our immune system, nervous system, and all of the body’s organs, is literally a bridge between body and mind.
All vertebrate species share the endocannabinoid system as an essential part of life and adaptation to environmental changes. Understanding this system, we begin to see a mechanism that explains how states of consciousness can promote health or disease.
