More than 5,000 years ago we know that the human being has been using marijuana for medicinal purposes but since the mid-twentieth century began to prohibit its use and cultivation internationally, alleging public health reasons. Marijuana today is considered by the convention of drugs of 61 as an addictive drug without any therapeutic value. Nothing is further from reality.
However, in the last 10 years the public perception of marijuana has changed significantly thanks to the properties of the CBD. More and more people know the medicinal properties of this plant.
Many people do not know that humans have our own cannabinoid system, which is called the endocannabinoid system and which is a molecular vehicle to send signals to brain Neuroreceptors to send signals to receptors located in the rest of the body and which regulate many key biological functions.
Marijuana has around 500 different components, of which more than 110 are cannabinoids. Of these cannabinoids, two cannabinoids stand out for their therapeutic characteristics, CBD or cannabidol and THC.
The THC and CBD are the two main substances produced by the marijuana plant in greater numbers than any other cannabinoid present in the plant. Until recently the problem for many patients was the psychoactive effect or high that produces the THC and the fear of a substance, usually unknown to them, that even over the authorities labeled as a drug.
This little and bad information on the part of the authorities made many people fear about the safety of marijuana as medicine even though it is one of the safest substances that exist if we compare them to an existing medicine. For more information about CBD oil click here to

This is where the CBD and the CBD extracts come in (Oils, pastes, crystals, E-liquids).
These CBD extracts are totally legal since they contain less than 0.2% THC and are not considered as drugs by the authorities. In addition, by separating the CBD from THC, they also eliminate the psychoactive effect of these extractions, opening new and very hopeful paths in the world of medicine.
Among the many medicinal properties of CBD, we can highlight among many others its effectiveness as a sedative, anti-epileptic, anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, anxiolytic, natural reducer of intraocular pressure and reinforces the properties of THC as an analgesic.
For all those playful users of marijuana, who, unlike the medicinal users, want to benefit from the properties of the CBD but feeling the effects of THC have to settle for feminized marijuana seed varieties with high CBD content since the extracts with THC are illegal.
