Do you know about CBD History? Thousands of years ago, Cannabis/ hemp grew wild, and was known as medicine. In 1937, when the Marihuana Tax Act was passed, all things Cannabis were made illegal, this included hemp. But now, the world is seeing all the benefits of Cannabis - specifically hemp and CBD.
It’s important to note the difference between Cannabis, hemp, and CBD. Cannabis and hemp are the same plant, the difference is- THC. Cannabis is the mother plant and her children are marijuana and hemp. Marijuana is created by selectively breeding the seeds for THC. Usually, breeders breed to purify and strengthen strains, combine strain traits, or enhance specific characteristics like higher yields, specific aromas, potency, and other things.
CBD – WHAT IT IS AND ITS HISTORY
WHAT IS CBD
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the most popular cannabinoids of the 100 or more cannabinoids out there. CBD stands for: cannabidiol and is known as a non-psychoactive cannabinoid. It doesn’t have a strong impact on cognitive brain activity and doesn’t cause the high that THC produces. Cannabis and hemp can have different effects on different people; however, generally speaking, no high.
CBD can be found in Cannabis hemp and Cannabis marijuana. If the CBD comes from hemp, generally, it has .3% THC or less. If the CBD comes from marijuana, usually, there are higher percentages of THC. The same is true for cannabinoids like CBG (cannabigerol), CBN (cannabinol), CBC (cannabichromene), etc. Even THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic Acid) isn’t cause for a mental high concern.
