CBD (Cannabidiol) is a compound naturally present in the cannabis plant. It is one of more than 100 phytocannabinoids that have been identified by scientists. Consuming cannabidiol causes no dependence/addiction, and unlike THC - another molecule of the cannabis plant, it is not psychoactive. This means that you will not feel "high" or euphoric when using CBD. CBD is believed to have many benefits, most of which need to be scientifically proven. In particular, cannabidiol is used to combat stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, for muscle or joint recovery, or to support other treatments for conditions such as epilepsy.

CBD and THC are both cannabinoids derived from the cannabis plant, but are quite different.

The important distinction is that, unlike THC, cannabidiol will not intoxicate you: it has no psychoactive properties.

CBD may also block some of the intoxicating effects of THC. By binding to cannabinoid receptors, it prevents THC from activating these receptors. This results in a less intense psychoactive effect.

This does not mean that CBD, in itself, cannot offer an effect. Large doses of CBD often result in a very relaxing experience. 

The other major difference is that THC is officially illegal in a majority of countries, unlike CBD. On Kanabiz, you will however only find products 100% legal in your country.

The phytocannabinoids in the cannabis plant mimic the endocannabinoids naturally present in our bodies, so they can act as a 'complement' - helping us beyond what our bodies can produce on their own.

CDB acts by binding to cannabinoid receptors in our body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which is responsible for our overall well-being.

These receptors are present in almost every tissue and cell type in the human body. This explains the apparently very wide range of possible uses for CBD: from treatment of stress and anxiety, through relief of pain and inflammation, to the treatment of diseases such as certain forms of epilepsy.

There are many reasons for consumers to go towards CBD. Some virtues are confirmed by scientific research while others have yet to be confirmed by science. The latter is still in its infancy concerning CBD but research is numerous, new benefits of cannabidiol are frequently discovered and give many hopes.

CBD is commonly used to cope with these ailments/symptoms:

• Management of anxiety and stress.
• Relief of chronic pains, fibromyalgia
• In dermatology: irritated skin, itching, insect bites, dry skin, acne, psoriasis, eczema...
