Cannabis plants produce more than 400 different compounds, which can also be found in other plants: this explains why some cannabis flowers smell like… strawberry or lemon, for example.
However, there are about 60 cannabis-specific compounds, including CBD, and it is CBD that holds
alone is the key to most of the “medicinal and therapeutic” effects attributed to cannabis.
Unlike THC (the psychoactive molecule of cannabis) the primary quality of CBD is not to “fly”. This molecule is legal in Switzerland, as long as the products do not exceed 1 THC.
The CBD provides a pleasant feeling of calm and among its various effects relayed by CBD consumers, we can mention:
- Feeling of well-being
- Pain relief help
- Sweet and optimistic mood
- Mental and physical relaxation
- No change in cognitive function (clear and focused)
- Insomnia help
CBD can therefore be an aid for people suffering from inflammation, pain, anxiety, insomnia, convulsions and spasms, but not for lack of medical treatment.
Aware of the potential of CBD, several countries are conducting clinical and scientific research on this molecule with promising potential.
If you don’t smoke or don’t want to smoke, there are a lot of products with other consumption methods, such as oils, edibles, teas and creams.
