What does CBD mean?

Modified on: 07/11/2023

CBD is the chemical abbreviation for cannabidiol, one of the main cannabinoids present in marijuana inflorescences. Its properties have been known for a long time, since there are written evidences of its use in China at least 5.000 years ago. In recent times, though, they were neglected for CBD’s association with the other famous cannabinoid: THC. This might be due to the fact that nowadays buds usually have a much higher percentage of THC than CBD, while in the past the proportion between the two compounds was much more balanced.

Research on CBD have started again, since more and more people noticed the beneficial effects of CBD flowers and their derivatives, such as CBD oil, to treat and sometimes cure many disorders. This was evident to FDA for what epilepsy is concerned: CBD helped a lot of people suffering for this disease to drastically reduce the rate of seizures. In the UK, it has been registered as a drug mainly for its painkiller effect. What CBD is best known for is, nonetheless, the relaxing and calming effects, which seems to have a positive impact in fighting anxiety symptoms and avoid panic attacks. It is also considered very effective in helping rest and fighting any form of insomnia.

Nonetheless, since there still aren’t definitive results on the long-term effects on mind and body of CBD, while science is trying to answer these questions, is better consult a physician before assuming products with high CBD content for theurapetic purposes.

These beneficial effects have been also confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO), which underlined the potential of CBD consumption, even for therapeutic uses. At the same time, from the data at hand they pointed out that there weren’t consistent recognizable side effects, and those found were mostly related only to the combination of CBD with other drug components or in case of abuse of the cannabidiol products.CBD flowers sold in JustBob online shop are rich in CBD, while having a very low percentage of THC, less than 0,2%, as prescribed by the law and certificated by lab tests on each batch.
