The effects of cannabinoids on the body’s nervous system have already been documented, and the fact that it can alleviate certain kinds of pain and stimulate appetite have already been proven.
New methods of cannabis consumption are bringing us further away from the notion that cannabis belongs solely in a “bong” or “joint” – or that it has to get you high, for that matter. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned” and can actually counteract the psychoactivity of THC. CBD can help patients looking for relief from inflammation, pain, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, spasms, and other conditions without disconcerting feelings of lethargy or dysphoria. Scientific and clinical research – much of it sponsored by the US government – underscores CBD’s potential as a treatment for conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, alcoholism, MS, chronic pain, schizophrenia, PTSD, depression, antibiotic-resistant infections, epilepsy, and other neurological disorders. CBD’s anti-cancer properties are currently being investigated at several academic research centers in South Africa and all over the world. “Cannabis is the most useful plant known to man.
