Episode notes
CBD Is Chemically Distinct From THC
- CBD (cannabidiol) is one of many cannabinoids and does not produce the THC high.
- It acts differently because identical atoms are arranged differently, producing distinct effects on the endocannabinoid system.
How CBD Affects The Body
- The endocannabinoid system regulates mood, pain, sleep, immunity, and inflammation.
- CBD slows breakdown of anandamide, the 'bliss molecule', causing longer-lasting calming effects without THC's intoxication.
Verify Extract Type And Check COAs
- Check product labels for extract type: isolate, broad-spectrum, or full-spectrum.
- Look for COAs (third-party certificates of analysis) to verify purity and potency before buying.
