And CBD?
Like THC, CBD is a cannabinoid of the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD is also found in male cannabis plants. CBD also binds to the receptors of the cannabinoid system. However, it not only activates them, but can partially block them and thereby inactivate them. Therefore, CBD can mitigate the effect of THC to some extent and reduce side effects. CBD also binds to peripheral receptors that are involved, for example, in the transmission of neural signals to the muscles. The exact mechanisms behind this still need to be further researched. While some of the effects of CBD on the body are known, they are difficult to grasp. The most important thing is that CBD is not psychoactive, it does not alter consciousness or perception. Even though CBD has not yet been licensed as an activeingredient, many manufacturers recommend its use for calming, anxiety relief, spasmolysis of muscle spasms, improvement of sleep and for pain - in humans as well as in pets.
