Tetrahydrocannabinol is the main reason behind the controversy of legalizing cannabis products as medicine. This intoxicating substance also comprises several medicinal properties but some government authorities don’t want to give it legal recognition. Consequently, we can see broadly classified categories of cannabis products for different states. In the USA, cannabis has 5 different legal statuses that vary from state to state i.e.
●
Legal
●
Legal for medical use only
●
Legal for medical use but with
limited or no THC content
●
Completely illegal
● Decriminalized
Here we are going
to talk about cannabis that is legal for medical use but with restrictions on
the basis of its THC content. In medical dispensaries, you will find wellness
products in two different categories including:-
b)
Broad-spectrum CBD
CBD isolates are
also available at some dispensaries but they don’t work effectively. When it
comes to choosing between full and broad-spectrum CBD, we always recommend full
spectrum. Let’s understand every aspect of CBD in full-spectrum.
What
is Full-spectrum CBD
This classification of cannabis extract is based on cannabinoid composition. A cannabis plant comprises 100+ different cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Among those, only a few THC dominant compounds are intoxicating. You will find no THC in a broad spectrum CBD product but full-spectrum contains it in nominal amounts. As per the FDA regulation authorities, full-spectrum CBD products cannot contain more than 0.3% of THC. Now the biggest question is, why THC is so important in CBD health supplements? Below is some information to satisfy you.
How
Full-spectrum CBD Products Work?
The human body has
an endocannabinoid system that produces some cannabinoids naturally. For
absorbing external cannabinoids, our body has CB1 and CB2 receptors. The
endocannabinoid system is responsible for maintaining balance in various
neurological and immunity-related functions such as:-
●
Mood
●
Appetite
●
Sleep cycle
● Insulin level
The CB1 receptor is
found in our central nervous system that controls neurological functions
whereas CB2 receptors are present in the peripheral nervous system (immunity
cells). THC is the compound responsible for triggering the CB1 receptors that
we cannot find in broad-spectrum CBD. On the other hand, full-spectrum CBD also
comprises the properties of broad-spectrum CBD. This is the main reason why we
prefer it for wellness purposes. Now take a look at its medicinal benefits.
Benefits
of Consuming CBD in Full Spectrum
●
Mental relaxation
THC
present in the full-spectrum CBD is helpful in relaxing down the hypertension
of our brain. If a person is suffering from stress or depression, regular
consumption of full-spectrum CBD may help in relaxing. One can consume it
directly through edibles like tinctures, gel capsules or gummies. Also, there
are some options of topicals to consider.
●
Insulin stabilization
People
facing low insulin levels remain prone to type-2 diabetes. If you have diabetes
or at a pre-diabetes stage, CBD can help in keeping it stable.
●
Low appetite treatment
THC
triggers hunger hormones that help in treating low appetite. However, make sure
that you are consuming CBD products infused with a very low quantity of THC. A
high THC dose may result in extreme hunger.
●
Sleeping disorder treatment
Is your sleep cycle disturbed and your daily life routine is messed up? Fluctuation in the endocannabinoid system can be the core reason. THC along with other cannabinoids maintains balance in Melatonin (sleep hormones) level so that you don’t have to suffer from insomnia.
Ongoing studies on
cannabinoids are showing significant hopes of adopting cannabis as primary
medicine. Its anti-inflammatory properties work efficiently on cancer cells.
Hoping for some miraculous outcomes in the upcoming days!
