CBD Health Revolution: January 13-19, 2020
CBD hemp oil ( Cannabidiol ) and THC ( tetrahydrocannabinol ) have the same effects on CB2 receptors. What you need to know is that they do not have the same effect on CB1 receptor sites.
THC binds directly to the CB1 receptor. Once it is bound it sends the message to the brain. This is the reason THC has psychoactive effects on the brain.
Most people do not want the effect of THC, they want the health promoting effects of CBD that binds to CB1 receptor sites.
Many people who use CBD hemp oil report that they appreciate the relief of their pain, without the intoxicating adverse effects of medical marijuana. Most importantly is the fact that the World Health Organization confirmed that CBD does not have any addictive features, as opposed to THC.
