Cannabinoids - the 113-plus compounds inside the cannabis plant - are powering the booming marijuana (Mexican word for Cannabis) market
And as with every thing that captures the buying public's imagination,such as CBD Hemp, every exploiter existing jumps in to profiteer from the opportunity.
Evidence of the popularity of CBD can be seen in the most unlikely of outlets selling this serious medicinal product.
Petrol/Gas stations, bodegas, tire repair store, shoeshine stands, salsa dance studio, wig shop, and sex clubs have been found selling CBD products,and claiming their CBD will quickly and cheaply regrow hair, fix your flaccid naughty bits that viagra couldn't, end insomnia, make you taller, and cure cancer while helping you lose weight and have more energy.
But all that nonsense aside, Cannabinoids are the chemicals that give the plant its unique and highly sought after effects. Cannabinoids have been found that can reduce inflammation and suppress seizures. They can relieve pain,and promote good sleep too.
And of course, at least one cannabinoid - tetrahydrocannabinol - THC for short - is sought after by many recreational cannabis users for its psychoactive effect - it gives them an intoxicating high - a temporary escape from life's realities. - (Note - Before buying Recreational or Medical Cannabis -i.e.- containing more than 0.3% THC,check with your country,state & local laws)
The variety in marijuana's taste and smell comes from yet another compound present in cannabis that you will be hearing much more about - TERPENES.
In addition to providing the "weed" aroma, terpenes themselves are proving to have therapeutic qualities of their own.
Terpenes are almost everywhere, in lots of different plants. Even some insects produce them to deter predators.
The sap from a pine tree is a good example, because the distinctive strong smell the sap leaves on your hands and clothes comes from terpenes, particularly α-pinene. It's found in rosemary and dill, too.
If you've ever opened a cedar chest or luxuriated in the heady excitement of a new car's fragrance, you've smelled terpenes.
They're responsible for a lot of different plant bouquets. One common terpene is limonene. It gives the citrus smell to oranges, lemons, and limes.
Linalool provides a floral aroma to lavender, and humulene lends its woody, earthy fragrance to that close relative of cannabis – the hops used in brewing beer.
In fact, the scientific name for hops, Humulus lupulus, points to the terpene responsible for the hoppy effect it adds to beer.
Even expensive perfumes owe their complex, powerful bouquets to terpenes.
Now, in addition to the over 100 cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant, it also produces anywhere between 200 and 300 different terpenes. And the varying concentrations between different strains lend to each a unique scent.
In fact, many would contend that the full cannabis experience wouldn't be possible without them.
That's because terpenes have other effects on the human body, besides their distinctive smell.
Terpenes Affect Your State of Mind and Your Health
The linalool terpene found in lavender has a soothing effect on the body and is a natural sleep aid. It's a common essential oil and has a well-known calming effect.
And limonene helps elevate your mood and can relieve stress.
It is the combination,the synergy, of terpenes and cannabinoids in cannabis & CBD Hemp that produces the total benefits.- (Synergy - the interaction of two or more substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their effects separately).
The booming CBD Hemp market, for instance, owes a lot to that exceptionally beneficial cannabinoid - cannabidiol - (CBD for short),which combined with its naturally occurring terpenes,has been found to relieve stress,is a sleep aid,will assist athletes to recover from strenuous workouts, and help soldiers returning from war deal with post-traumatic stress disorder.
CBD from Industrial Hemp with naturally occurring terpenes are, and will, revolutionise the health and wellness industry; it's an entirely new source of medicine and healing that will prove to dramatically improve the "health span" of people and pets to help them live and stay active and well.
And CBD from Industrial Hemp is providing a clear safe distinction.The advances being made by plant chemists in separating the inherent health giving power of Cannabis,and cultivate them in its cousin - The Industrial Hemp Plant- increasing the CBD content and minimising THC to less than 0.3% - is already providing legal, prescription free NHS - Natures Health Service - products, of great health benefit to most all.
I make no excuse for continually showing the Industrial Hemp Field Trials picture.It says everything about the continuing research.
