More than 100 cannabinoids have been identified within the cannabis plant, that is, chemical compounds found naturally in the plant. One of the most abundant is cannabidiol (CBD)<\/strong>, which can represent up to 45% of the plant extract. Many of the Cannabis Sativa<\/em> strains give rise to CBD or cannabidiol but do so in small amounts. In fact, only certain branches of the plant contain sufficient concentration of CBD to extract it in a useful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first time that CBD was isolated from the cannabis plant was between 1930 and 1940 by researchers at the University of Illinois (USA). However, it was not until the 1960s when Professor Rafael Mechoulam<\/a> managed to describe its structure and chemical composition. Since 2013, PubMed, an American medical research database, has indexed more than 1,500 studies on cannabidiol. Because of this, many scientists consider CBD to be one of the most important cannabinoids<\/strong> discovered to date.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Compared to other cannabinoids, cannabidiol has gained much importance in the therapeutic field because it lacks the typical psychoactive properties of THC (not acting through the brain’s CB1 receptors responsible for psychoactivity), which are reduced when using CBD and THC together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means similar amounts of CBD and THC (ratio of 1:1 or even higher THC) can be administered without strong adverse side effects due to high amounts of THC (such as the psychoactive effect, tachycardia, anxiety attacks, among others) (Zuardi and al., 1982) [1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although much remains to be investigated on the properties of cannabidiol, there are several existing studies that have demonstrated their benefits from a clinical point of view.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n \n We have a team of specialists waiting to answer any questions <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n Please fill in your details below and we’ll send you information about Cannabidiol.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\t\n\t <\/p> Infographics on Cannabidiol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
