What is CBD Cannabis Oil?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the compounds known as cannabinoids, found in naturally in plant cannabis that has attracted the attention of researchers on its beneficial effects on the body.
CBD cannabis oils contain varying concentrations of cannabidiol, depending on the purpose of use.
What is the difference between CBD and marijuana?
Until the last years, the most famous compound of the cannabis plant was delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is the most active substance in marijuana.
Marijuana contains both THC and CBD, but these two compounds have different effects.
Unlike THC, the CBD is not psychoactive. Specifically, cannabidiol does not alter consciousness and perception person consuming it but was found to have significant positive effects on the body, as a potential remedy for a wide range of diseases.
In general, CBD cannabis oil is extracted from the least processed form of the cannabis plant, known as hemp.
Canepa and marijuana come from the same species, namely Cannabis Sativa, the difference in THC and CBD concentrations.
Over the years, marijuana cultivators have selectively crossed the cannabis plant to obtain a high concentration of THC. On the other hand, hemp growers, more interested in its fibres with applications in the textile industry, have had no interest in obtaining a high THC concentration by genetic modification. Naturally, hemp is rich in CBD, which is why it is used to get CBD cannabis oil.
