There’s undoubtedly been a louder buzz around CBD in the past few years as it seems like every industry is eager to make use of or tout the benefits of Cannabidiol. With 113 chemical compounds found in cannabis, we’re here to tell you about this particular and prevalent one as we shift the focus to the non-psychoactive cousin of THC.

The second most prevalent active ingredient found in cannabis, Cannabidiol, affectionately known as CBD, was first discovered in the 1940s. As you see and hear about CBD popping up as a natural treatment for various conditions, it has become more popular in recent years. Typically sourced from hemp but also found in marijuana, hemp-derived CBD still contains trace amounts of THC, while marijuana-derived CBD may contain more.

With an array of options for consumers, CBD comes in many forms. Oils tend to be the most popular, but your selection isn’t limited to the additional options of extracts, capsules, tinctures, patches, vapes, bath bombs, topical preparations for use on skin, and many more.

Across the world, we’ve seen an uprise in the use of Cannabidiol, and although in the early stages of research, evidence leads to CBD is helpful for a wide variety of conditions, including:

• Anxiety; including social anxiety and PTSD
• Depression
• Chronic pain, including arthritis, inflation, and fibromyalgia
• Stress
• Dermatological conditions such as psoriasis and dermatitis
• Addiction and neurological conditions
• Sports performance and muscle recovery
• Insomnia

On top of this list, CBD’s strongest scientific evidence is its effectiveness in treating some of the most barbaric childhood epilepsy syndromes, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which are typically not ones to respond to antiseizure medications. In the numerous studies conducted, CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures and, in some cases, stop them altogether. Epidiolex, which contains CBD, is the first cannabis-derived medication approved by the FDA for these conditions. So, can you say Go CBD?!

While THC and CBD are the two most prevalent chemical compounds in marijuana, CBG and CBD are hemp’s two most pervasive chemical components. Are you with us? Good! All three compounds belong to a group called cannabinoids, which is what gives cannabis its medical and recreational properties.

Here’s how to tell them apart:

• CBD: Typically sourced from hemp but also sourced from marijuana, CBD is non-psychoactive, has an abundance of medical properties, and is considered safe for consumption. This is the most abundant cannabinoid found in hemp.
• THC: Sourced from marijuana, THC is psychoactive, so it interacts with your brain differently than CBD and binds with your receptors. This is what gives you that high-like feeling of euphoria and relaxation.
• CBG: Only found during the blooming phase in the hemp plant, CBG has promising therapeutic properties despite not being easy to find reliable CBG-rich products because of its short blooming window.
