An incredible number of myths revolve around hemp. The most popular ones are: “Cannabis is highly addictive!”, “This plant can atrophy the brain!”, and much more.
In fact, cannabis has been used in medicine since ancient times, and to this day continues to help people cope with complex diseases.
It is able to overcome many diseases that are beyond the power of modern drugs. This is all thanks to its molecular composition: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). The molecular difference between CBD and THC is minimal, and atoms are responsible for their main differences. They give completely different effects, and are valuable in their own way.
Tetrahydrocannabinol - THC
Physically active component of hemp, which is responsible for the very relaxing effect. The effects of THC can manifest themselves in different ways. All because of the different phenotype: indica and sativa (they give a completely different effect).
Indica - gives a strong influence on perception, perfectly calms, drives away bad thoughts, transfers the body to a state of nirvana and is an excellent stress reliever.
Sativa - is the opposite of indica, it stimulates the mind for creativity, awakens the desire to start something new, it will amuse the whole company, betray the warmth of a cozy date, or help find harmony in solitude.
To achieve the perfect balance, scientists cross the two phenotypes. Today, there are an incredible number of varieties of cannabis seeds.
Don't forget that THC is a psychotropic substance. It was because of him that hemp was banned from cultivation in some countries of the world, including Ukraine.
Cannabidiol (CBD)
Does not contain psychotropic substances. Contained in seeds, leaves, stems, inflorescences of hemp. Most often found in ruderalis (cannabis weed species). It is used in medicine and as food additives.
Cannabis seeds are pressed into oil, which contains a huge amount of CBD. It is added to food as a regular supplement, but there are those people for whom it is extremely important.
Hemp oil reduces the symptoms of epilepsy, fights memory problems, calms the nervous system, removes apathy, panic attacks, and depression. CBD is a miracle drug that can make life easier for all people. It speeds up the metabolism, improves the condition of the skin, nails and hair, removes mimic wrinkles, fights diseases, helps to put the entire central nervous system in order and strengthens the immune system.
It contains a lot of vitamins (Ca, F, Zn…), omega-3, omega-6, a daily dose of calcium, essential amino acids. CBD improves the condition of the body as a whole, thereby preventing the appearance of malignant tumors, heart attacks and strokes.
It is anti-allergenic, even the elderly or children can add CBD (oil or milk) to food. Hemp seed milk, which contains CBD, is recommended by experts for women during breastfeeding. CBD has been proven to stimulate milk production.
