cbdCBD (cannabidiol), a compound found in the marijuana plant has been confirmed to affect the endocannabinoid structure in reducing pain. The endocannabinoid system is a vital biological system in our body, made up of endocannabinoids. Endocannabinoids are lipid-based reversing neurotransmitters in the body that link with cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors, a part of the endocannabinoid system, are proteins found in the central and peripheral nervous systems of a mammal. The endocannabinoid system plays a role in regulating various physiological processes such as appetite, mood, and pain-sensation.

CBDQuality sleep is essential for general well-being. A number of health-related and regenerative processes happen at night while asleep – e.g. growth spurts and the production of hormones essential for healthy body functioning. Quality rest also helps revitalize mind and body.  Experts advise getting between  7 to 8 hours of sleep per 24-hour cycle. However, this is not always possible as the stress of daily life invariably affects sleep patterns negatively.

The good news is products such as CBD exist that treat sleep conditions. CBD is a cannabis compound known for its medicinal benefits. It’s extracted and manufactured into various products to alleviate a variety of health issues.

Many tend to confuse cannabidiol (CBD) with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive substance in cannabis that can get you high. CBD products such as Watermelon CBD Gummies cannot get you high.  They have zero THC content, and, when mixed with other natural products like turmeric, they offer increased medicinal value.

The FDA just outlawed CBDs and hemp oil extracts

Mike Adams issues an apology here as a result of pushback he received from hemp distibutors and health food stores concerning the article below.

 

fda Mike Adams – Hemp oil extracts containing CBDs (cannibidiols) are such a threat to the pharmaceutical industry that the FDA is now invoking totally insane justifications for outlawing them.

CBDs are non-psychoactive compounds found naturally in hemp plants. They work so well as powerful natural medicine that people everywhere are realizing CBDs work better than pharmaceuticals for treating epilepsy, seizures, neurological disorders and other serious health conditions (including HIV infections).

So the FDA has just launched a massive regulatory assault against CBDs by invoking the most insane logic you’ve ever heard. Here’s how it goes:

1) CBDs work so well that drug companies are now investigating them to be approved by the FDA as medicines.

2) Because CBDs are being investigated by drug companies, the agency has granted CBDs status as being “investigated as a new drug.” In the FDA’s own language from their website, “FDA considers a substance to be ‘authorized for investigation as a new drug’ if it is the subject of an Investigational New Drug application (IND) that has gone into effect.”

3) Because CBDs work so well and have been authorized for drug investigations, the FDA now OUTLAWS them being sold as dietary supplements. Per the FDA’s own website: “FDA has concluded that cannabidiol products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act. Under that provision, if a substance (such as cannabidiol) has been authorized for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and for which the existence of such investigations has been made public, then products containing that substance are outside the definition of a dietary supplement.”
