CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant.  Its use can be found in a myriad of products to promote a feeling of relaxation among other health benefits. CBD is one of over a hundred other cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. 

Although CBD is not FDA-approved, it continues to gain momentum in the health and wellness world from the endless consumer claims of therapeutic properties.  While research continues to be ongoing, some studies suggest that CBD can relieve or help treat a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:

• Chronic pain and arthritis

• Inflammation

• Anxiety and Stress

• PTSD

• Depression

• Nausea

• IBS

• Migraines

• Nicotine and opioid addiction

• Muscle spasticity

• Low appetite from cancer treatment

• Epilepsy and seizures

California became the first state to legalize medical cannabis in 1996. This trend reached other states by 2016 when Colorado and Washington became the first states to legalize Delta-9 THC for recreational use. Since then, 37 states have legalized medical use, and 18 states legalized recreational use. Delta-9 THC, short for Delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol, is mostly known to be a cannabinoid molecule naturally occurring in marijuana and hemp plants. There are currently 124 known cannabinoids out of 400; Delta-9 THC is one of them. Delta-9 THC can have psychoactive properties in high doses and carries many health benefits. It has been reported to help with sleep, anxiety, moods, stress, nausea, and pain management.

Potential benefits of consuming delta-9 THC may include:

Relaxation

Decreased anxiety

Increased appetite

Feelings of happiness or exhilaration

Heightened imagination

Improved sensory perception

Studies show using delta-9 THC may have therapeutic benefits for certain conditions, including nausea and vomiting associated with chemotherapy, seizure disorders, chronic pain, spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and sleep disorders in people with other chronic conditions, says Dr. Gordon.

Those who use  Delta-9 THC + CBD products have found it helps with:

• Sleep - Though effects can vary by individuals based on dosage and reaction, Delta-9 THC can provide relaxation properties. This can improve sleep when falling asleep faster and sleeping through the night.

• Stress - When THC interacts with receptors in the brain, it can increase one’s mood, lowering stress levels. Chronic stress is linked to six leading causes of death. Lowering stress long term can potentially be beneficial to individuals who suffer from anxiety and symptoms of PTSD.

• Pain Management - Delta-9 THC has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. When medical marijuana was legalized, it was to aid pain management such as individuals with glaucoma and cancer patients. Those with glaucoma report THC relieves them from migraines that can be debilitating.

• Nausea - Cancer patients not only reported that Delta-9 THC has helped with pain, but also shown to be effective for calming the stomach, and helping individuals keep their food down. In 1985, the FDA approved a drug made with synthetic THC, Marinol to treat nausea caused by chemotherapy and AIDS-related anorexia.
