- Is CBD addictive?
Don't be panic just because of knowing that CBD comes from cannabis. Here is the 100% accurate answer that neither CBD, CBD oil nor CBD-containing products are addictive. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is another cannabinoid found in cannabis, which is the cause of being “high”. Though CBD and THC are very close in chemical molecular structure, they are two different substances. CBD will not cause addiction. The cannabis used to extract CBD is hemp, with a THC content less than of 0.3%. Combined with the subsequent purification and extraction, CBD oil contains zero THC, therefore, it is completely non-addictive.
- What is CBD used for?
The human body has an endogenous cannabinoid system, where the body produces cannabinoids that interact with receptors in the body, helping to balance and regulate biological functions, such as immune, sleep, memory, digestion, and so on. CBD, a natural cannabinoid supplement, has become popular because it can bring physical and mental benefits without side effect.
Several scientific studies confirm that CBD may help treat various diseases, such as chronic pain, anxiety, cancer, and Parkinson’s Disease. In daily life, CBD is also a perfect choice for stopping bleeding, relieving pain, and curing bruises.
