When using CBD products, one should also be familiar with cannabinoids – the hemp extracts that make CBD a useful supplement. For a very long time these were thought to have little value to humans apart from as an intoxicant, but in recent decades interest in cannabinoids has grown and research has begun to show we have a much more intimate relationship with these hemp extracts within our body than was previously known.
Cannabinoids themselves are many and varied, with over 110 (and counting) being discovered in certain parts of the hemp plant. They’re also non-toxic and our body copes with them well – all too well in fact, as the main thing they’re known for is changing the way our nervous systems function. This was first discovered thousands of years ago when our ancestors started using cannabis recreationally, spiritually and medicinally.
