Cannabis, Hemp, CBD for Pain & Anti Inflammatory
Hello World and Welcome to My World! Hope you are doing well. Today I’m sharing some interesting info I found on something still controversial to

generation you come from). This is a rather long read, but well worth the time if you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, inflammation, etc… It is NOT addictive, nor will it get you high when used properly.
This Cannabis Compound Eases Your Pain & Anxiety (& Won’t Get You High)
Active Mind
“There were never so many able, active minds at work on the problems of diseases as now, & all their discoveries are tending to the simple truth — that you can’t improve on nature.” –Thomas Edison
Over a century later, Edison’s words still ring true.
With so many states having legalized marijuana in some capacity, it’s clear that more and more of us are looking towards nature to restore our health. I know I am. But it is lesser known that anyone can reap the medicinal benefits of cannabis—regardless of their state’s marijuana laws.
Cannabis for Health:
We as Americans are more concerned about their health more than ever, with the U.S. Supplement industry growing in recent years to be worth $37 billion.
The Hemp Derivative won’t get you High!
We, the People want more natural supplements, fewer corporate pharmaceuticals and fewer side effects. For many of us, cannabis is our answer.
Whether you are pro-marijuana or not, it’s important to know that cannabis has dozens of different powerful medicinal compounds (called cannabinoids), most of which won’t ‘get you high’. One picking up steam in the wellness industry is cannabidiol (CBD). Hugely medicinal & completely non-psychoactive, CBDs can legally be derived from hemp to support your overall health.
CBD’s: Why are CBDs so therapeutic?
Enter the endocannabinoid system. It turns out our bodies are loaded with
CBD’s will not get you high, but have some great anti-inflammatory results…
cannabinoids & cannabinoid receptors that are constantly working to maintain homeostasis within our body. When things get stressful, intense or inflamed, this system works to keep everything balanced. Even sea squirts have an endocannabinoid system—it’s that important.
Researchers first discovered the system
in the mid 1990s, so our knowledge on the endocannabinoid system is relatively new

and research is evolving. But, studies have shown that by supplementing our body with small doses of the plant-based cannabinoids in cannabis (which includes marijuana or hemp), we can promote balance of our endocannabinoid system, and by association, our overall wellness. What’s more intriguing is that CBDs bind to different receptors than THC, meaning CBDs won’t get you high but still offer loads of therapeutic benefits like pain-relief, anti-inflammatory action, seizure suppression, anti-cancer activity, antipsychotic activity and more.
Unlike other manufactured supplements in the industry,
CBD has no known side effects. While most manufactured options for your stress,

anxiety, inflammation and pain relief often come with a disturbing list of potential side effects, CBD is a natural compound which functions naturally and seamlessly in your body without any known undesirable effects.
This is huge and so important for people who need relief on a regular basis. CBDs and other cannabis-based medicines have the potential to give millions of you much needed natural relief from chronic, looming ailments.
For this reason, CBDs are fast becoming a flourishing facet of the wellness industry.
Health & Wellness Industry offers many natural alternatives for health…
I had the opportunity to discuss CBDs with 2 growing companies, Aceso & Mary’s Nutritionals. Both companies utilize CBDs (among other compounds) to create wellness and pain relief products that are nationally legal, completely natural and hugely health promoting.
When discussing CBDs with Aceso’s marketing director, he explained that maybe the biggest misconception in the industry is that hemp is just another euphemism for marijuana. Regardless of how you feel about marijuana, it is important to know that hemp & marijuana are not the same thing.
Hemp & marijuana are both part of the cannabis plant, but hemp contains virtually

no psychoactive THC, meaning hemp-based products will absolutely not get you high & are legal in all 50 states. For this reason, everyone has the opportunity to experience the therapeutic powers of CBDs.
Healing Properties:
Named after the Greek goddess of healing, Aceso works to combine the natural

compounds in hemp with reputed healing superfoods & herbs like turmeric and lavender. The formulations they create target your everyday ailments that plague so many of us, including anxiety, pain and poor immune function.
Their innovative, hemp-based product line of beverage powders and sprays come in 3 distinct formulations (Calm, Soothe and Wellness) to specifically target unique your concerns with powerful combinations of plant-based extracts.
Reduce Inflammation:
When I asked why they

chose to utilize CBDs for their product line, Director of Hemp Products Kurt Forstmann replied, “Inflammation indicates an imbalance in your body, and science shows cannabinoids reduce inflammation. When this happens it frees up your immune system, making it more effective at fighting off invaders. When your body is not in a state of inflammation it is closer to homeostasis or its natural state—’balanced’—therefore healthier. The company spent 5 years on research and development before launching in 2015.
Aceso also creates a line of CBD wellness products for your dog called Therabis.

All mammals have an endocannabinoid system, meaning CBDs can be hugely medicinal for your pets, too. If your canine pal struggles with joint pain, anxiety or itchiness, it is worth looking into supplementation with CBD wellness products.

on pain-relief, their CBD-based products range from muscle patches to muscle freezes to tinctures and more. Although the entire product line is available to ship nationally, Mary’s also creates a line of therapeutic products known as Mary’s Medicinals, some of which contain THC (some products are still non-psychoactive) and are only sold in states who have legalized marijuana medically and/or recreationally.
Q: Could you speak to the power of the endocannabinoid system, for those who don’t know about it?
A: The endocannabinoid receptor system exists in every animal and is intimately involved in many functions such as your mood, appetite, sleep—to name a few. Endocannabinoids (created from within) are compounds your bodies naturally produce to balance and control communication between your cells to help modulate these natural functions. Researchers believe that, often times, regulation of the endocannabinoid system falls out of balance and physiological issues can arise as a result.

your endocannabinoid system and give you therapeutic relief to many ailments. Cannabinoids resemble endocannabinoids in that they can also bind to your endo- cannabinoid receptors. When cannabis is administered, cannabinoids bind to receptor sites in your brain and body. Cannabinoids have different effects based on which receptors they bind to. For example, CBN (cannabinol) binds with both CB1 & CB2 receptors located throughout your body, which may explain why patients report that it is a powerful analgesic. With a growing understanding of the effects of cannabinoids, patients can now tailor their cannabinoid consumption to the type of relief they need.
Q: Cannabis is making a rapid surge in overcoming a lot of negative stigma.

Oh, my poor neck…
I have back and neck issues so I will be looking into this further. I will also check out both of the mentioned companies, & will probably do another post regarding this and other natural remedies. I am a big believer. Why should we suffer all the side effects of pharmaceuticals when it may not be necessary?

The one thing I experienced from using CBD oil under the tongue was that it really dried up my sinuses to the point where I got a small nose bleed. I have stopped using it in that form and that has not reoccurred. Nobody else that I know had a similar side effect.
Miracles of Nature…
I’d love to get feed back from those of you who have experience with hemp, CDB and related products. I look forward to hearing from you…
Have a wonderful health filled day. Nature really can be miraculous!
