BROAD-SPECTRUM CBD

A mature cannabis plant contains hundreds of different compounds which can be further divided into categories of either flavonoids, terpenes, or cannabinoids, with each of these having different properties and effects on the human body. Two of the most prevalent compounds in medical marijuana are THC and CBD, with THC causing the intoxicating “high” that many people attribute to marijuana use. CBD Cannabidiol (CBD) is derived directly from the hemp plant, which is a cousin of the marijuana plant. It does not cause an intoxicating “high” like THC does, and according to the World Health Organization, it “exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. To date, there is no evidence of public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.”

Several benefits of CBD use include:

  • Non-intoxicating
  • Pain & inflammation reduction
  • Anxiety reduction
  • Sleep benefits
  • Seizure reduction

While CBD has grown to be the most popular non-intoxicating cannabinoid in recent years, there are also several similar compounds which exist that have shown to benefit the human body as well. CBG Cannabigerol (CBG) is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid similar to CBD, though this compound interacts with your body through very different mechanisms than CBD. Initial research has indicated that CBG acts as an agonist of the CB1 and CB2 receptors without causing any intoxicating effects. CBG may also act as a GABA reuptake inhibitor. This means that CBG may have a relationship with both neuropathic pain and inflammatory pain.

The main benefits attained through use of CBG include:

  • Non-intoxicating
  • Digestive benefits
  • Antibacterial benefits
  • Pain & inflammation reduction

CBN Cannabinol (CBN) is currently only attainable by deriving it from CBD through a chemical conversion. While more structurally similar to THC than CBD once it reaches its final form, CBN lacks the psychoactive effects of THC which could allow more patients to utilize it without fear of intoxication or impairment.

Some of the potential benefits of CBN include:

  • Non-intoxicating
  • Antibacterial benefits
  • Neuroprotection Appetite-stimulation
  • Sleep benefits

CBC Cannabichromene (CBC) is “newer” to the cannabinoid scene as far as research is concerned, but has shown great potential as a medical supplement thus far. While its effects feel very similar to CBD when ingested, the chemical structure of the CBC is unique and offers it the capability to affect the body in a different way than CBD.

So far, research has linked CBC with the following medical benefits:

  • Non-intoxicating
  • Cancer benefits
  • Neuroprotection
  • Neuro regeneration
  • Analgesic benefits
