What is Cannabidiol?
CBD is a cannabinoid naturally occurring in the Cannabis Sativa L. plant. Unlike THC, CBD has no psychotropic or addictive effects. Instead, it interacts with our endocannabinoid system to promote our body's natural balance and well-being.
The skin of the face and body contains endocannabinoid receptors that help maintain the skin's immune response. When the balance is disturbed, multiple skin disorders and diseases can develop, such as acne, seborrhoea, allergic dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, among others. Creams with CBD andstimulate the production of endocannabinoids in the bodyThis helps to keep our immune system functioning properly and improves our cognitive abilities.
What are the properties of CBD?
The most outstanding therapeutic properties of CBD, which have been demonstrated in various clinical and in-vitro studies, point to CBD being:
- anti-inflammatory
- analgesic
- neuroprotective
- anticonvulsant
- antioxidant
- anti-nausea and anti-emetic
- antitumour
- anxiolytic
- antipsychotic
- Reducing cravings for heroin, cocaine and alcohol
- immuno-modulator
While the properties mentioned above are the most prominent, other studies suggest that CBD use can improve sleep quality, speed healing and lower blood pressure. In all these cases, however, more research is needed to corroborate these effects.
Can CBD lead to addiction?
No. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical found in marijuana, but it does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive ingredient found in this plant that causes psychotropic effects on our nervous system. Therefore, it is important to emphasise that CBD and THC are not the same thing, but are two different types of cannabinoids among the 150 that are present in cannabis.
Even so, the consumption of CBD in therapeutic doses can produce adverse effects, generally of a mild to moderate nature, with feelings of tiredness, drowsiness, dry mouth, headaches, dizziness and reduced appetite. In general improve with reduction of CBD dose and disappear with discontinuation of CBD administration.
What is the regulation of CBD in Spain?
In 2020, lhe World Health Organisation (WHO) stated that CBD is a non-addictive and non-harmful substance that can be used to treat various diseases, so it should not be considered a drug. In Spain, the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS) has the authority to grant permits for the commercialisation of this substance.
The sale of food products containing CBD is not allowed.
Currently, the sale of CBD is allowed only if the THC level is below 0.2%, although this could change in the future, as a sub-commission was set up in 2020, and a new CBD sub-commission will be established in the near future.in which our founder, Carlos Vera, was able to participate as a scientist.The Spanish Congress of Deputies has approved a bill to regulate the use of cannabis for medical purposes.
