How does CBD work in the human body?<\/h2><\/div>

The non-psychoactive ingredient cannabidiol binds to various receptor systems in the endocannabinoid system. This can be seen as a communication system that acts between the body and the brain and consists of various receptors to which molecules dock to ensure the mediation of signals.<\/p>\n

Within this system, endocannabinoids act, so-called active substances that are produced by the body itself. In addition, there are exogenous cannabinoids that closely resemble human ones and act in a similar way in the endocannabinoid system, but must be supplied from outside. Regardless of whether they are produced by the body or supplied, the respective substances bind to the receptors to activate different processes [1].<\/p>\n<\/div>

Difference between CBD and THC<\/strong><\/h3><\/div>

CBD and THC are two of the most well-known ingredients of the hemp plant. Compared to CBD, THC is responsible for the controversial psychological effects of cannabis. THC, like CBD, also binds to the CB1 and CB2 receptors [2]. However, compared to THC, CBD is not psychoactive and may even counteract the psychic effects of THC in high doses, as well as enhance the analgesic properties of THC. Other phytocannabinoids, such as CBG or CBN, also exert pharmacological effects, but have no or very little psychic effect [3].<\/p>\n

The following diagram illustrates the chemical structure of THC and CBD, which is very similar:<\/p>\n<\/div>

In summary, CBD is considered an effective, well-tolerated and above all safe component of the hemp plant and is particularly interesting for self-medication, due to the diverse spectrum of effects without depressing side effects. The use of cannabidiol therefore enjoys increasing popularity in the complementary field.<\/p>\n<\/div>
