The cannabis (or hemp) plant contains several compounds called “cannabinoids.” When activated with heat (smoking, vaping, cooking), the chemicals in these cannabinoids are released and can be absorbed by cannabinoid receptors in your brain and fat tissues, allowing you to receive the medicinal benefits of this magical plant. Most all cannabinoids have some medicinal value, but the most commonly known are THC & CBD. THC is a psychoactive cannabinoid most closely associated with the “weed” or “marijuana” which many people use because of the “high” feeling received after smoking or ingesting it. CBD is most commonly known as the medicinal cannabinoid of the hemp plant. Because of its natural anti-inflammatory powers, it is extremely helpful for local or general inflammation in the brain and tissues, making it ideal for local or general aches or pain, headaches, arthritis, sore muscles, and other psychological and neurological problems due to inflammation in the brain like stress, anxiety, sleep, and even epilepsy.
