Cannabis is a plant that has a long history, many different uses, and is sometimes controversial. Cannabis is used in many different industries and products, especially in the medical field, because of how useful and flexible it is. There is a lot of science behind understanding cannabis, but we’ll try to keep it simple: Cannabis is made up of more than 120 parts called cannabinoids.
Cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) are the two cannabinoids that people know the most about and have done the most research on. CBD is a non-intoxicating, non-euphoric part of cannabis that you may have seen in the form of oils, gummies, drinks, and other medical products. THC is what makes people feel “high” when they use cannabis.
How can CBD help people stay healthy?
CBD has become very popular and has started a whole new industry. At JWU, you can even get a degree in Cannabis Entrepreneurship. Even though scientists are still trying to figure out how well CBD can be used as a medicine, there have already been a lot of positive results. Here are seven ways in which it has been shown that CBD is good for health. You can BUY CBN ONLINE here.
Getting the blood pressure down
In 2017, JCI Insight did a study that showed that CBD lowered the blood pressure of people who took part. It lowered their blood pressure both when they were at rest and when they were doing stressful things like mental math, isometric exercise, and the cold pressor test.
Getting rid of inflammation
A study by the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research showed that CBD can help reduce inflammation and the neuropathic pain it can cause.
How to stop drug and alcohol addicts from going back to using
A study from 2018 found that CBD can be helpful for people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol. In a test with lab rats, CBD was found to reduce the stress-related cravings, anxiety, and lack of impulse control that often lead to relapse.
Getting rid of stomach and intestine (GI) problems
A recent study found that CBD and other non-psychoactive cannabinoids can be used to prevent and treat GI disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, and more. CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties are key to reducing and stopping symptoms.
Preventing seizures
CBD has been studied for decades as a way to treat epilepsy and other types of seizure disorders. A recent study showed that it can help reduce symptoms and the number of seizures.
Cancer-fighting
CBD has been used to help ease the side effects of chemotherapy, and studies have shown that it can stop cell growth and cause cell death in cervical cancer cell lines. It also has many anti-cancer effects that can help prevent cancer, treat tumors, and boost the immune system.
There are even more benefits than these seven that are still being studied and tested. We hope that the students in our new Cannabis Entrepreneurship program will help shape the future of this industry in a big way.
