CBD, a phytocannabinoid, works by stimulating the endocannabinoid system in the human and animal bodies. The endocannabinoid system ( ECS ) was discovered in 1992 by Israeli scientist Raphael Mechoulam and NIMH researchers Andrew Devane and Dr. Lumi Hanus. The ECS is a central regulatory system consisting of receptors, endogenous ("self-made", i.e., made in our own bodies) cannabinoid compounds and enzymes. The ECS has been implicated in a wide range of physiological functions.
As reported in the scholarly journal Pharmacological Reviews, "modulating the activity of the endocannabinoid system turned out to hold therapeutic promise in a wide range of disparate diseases and pathological conditions, ranging from mood and anxiety disorders, movement disorders such as Parkinson's and Huntington's disease, neurpathic pain, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury, atherosclerosis, myocardial infactions, stroke, hypertension, glaucoma, obesity/metabolic syndrome, and osteoporosis, just to name a few".
CBD has also been tried by patients for a wide variety of psychological complaints including anxiety, and depression, in particular, social anxiety, obsessive-complusive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ), panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder.
Hemp extract is often used as an adjunct to medications in treating patients with refractory epilepsy. Please note that concomitant use of hemp extract along with anti-epileptic drugs requires close monitoring of serum drug levels of the prescription anti-epileptic medications. Also, it is prudent to monitor liver function tests, especially in patients also taking valproate and other medications. Patients with epilepsy should never start taking hemp extract products without the guidance of an experienced healthcare practitioner and close monitoring by the patient’s neurologist or primary care physician. Hemp extract can affect how the liver metabolizes some prescription (pharmaceutical) medications taken at the same time. When adding or increasing hemp extract, the effect of some prescription medications can change. One can minimize this effect by starting with low doses of hemp extract, increasing in small steps and separating doses of cannabidiol and prescribed medications by two hours. Please be sure to consult your licensed healthcare provider and prescribing physician to best assess drug-herb interactions.
