What’s all the HEMP about CBD?

Over the past few years, the interest and popularity of CBD, Hemp, and Marijuana has grown widespread as more individuals independently seek alternative healing methods like herbals, yoga, meditation, and other forms of natural therapy. As more states establish medicinal and recreational marijuana laws, it stirs the confusion of the differences and possible benefits of cannabis, so let’s break down Hemp for sake of clarity and understanding.

According to Britannica.com, Hemp is an Asian herb of the Cannabaceae family generally cultivated for its tough fibers, edible seeds and oils that naturally produces up to 0.3% of Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), its most famous psychoactive compound, and high levels of Cannabidiol (CBD), the non-intoxicating, second most prevalent ingredient of more than 90 naturally occurring cannabinoids found in Cannabis sativa L.

The 2018 Farm Bill, or the 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act categorized Hemp as any derivative of the Cannabis sativa L. plant containing less than 0.3% delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol. Therefore, from the law and a regulatory perspective, CBD is Cannabis derived from Hemp; It is federally legal to be sold and shipped across state lines.  Whereas Marijuana contains high levels of THC and very low levels of CBD-an essential component of medical marijuana. However, in states like my native Mississippi, the 37th state to adopt a medical marijuana law, the Mississippi Medical Cannabis Act, a medical marijuana card is required.

Cannabinoids like CBD and THC interact harmoniously with our very own Endocannabinoid System to balance our endogenous cannabinoids, which keeps internal functions operating smoothly. The ECS still exists even if one never uses cannabis.

Individuals including novice clients, herbalists, even cannabisseur and experts typically choose cannabis by its species, cannabinoid content and terpenes, the organic compound responsible for aromas, flavors, and colors. However, CBD is marketed everywhere as used for relief of anxiety, depression, inflammation and pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder.  As of now, Epidiolex is the only FDA approved CBD medicine found to help treat rare and severe forms of Epilepsy in children. According to the World Health Organization, CBD has shown no evidence of abuse or dependence potential, and minimally tolerated side effects
