Although it may not sound like that, the World Health Organization (WHO) has just released a 27-page CBD study. Their conclusion? It is that it is not only harmless but also non-addictive. Although many already know this, such support is unprecedented.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a new study from their committee on experts on drug addiction (ECDD). This study, which is focused exclusively on cannabidiol (CBD), represents a huge step forward in debunking the misunderstandings of the cannabinoid past.

The World Health Organization is a United Nations body that has the trust of countries all over the world. So this study will be important for how the CBD will be seen from here on. Before diving into what the report finds, we want to make sure we are all on the same page for CBD / CBD oil and what it does.

WHAT DOES

There are many reasons why CBD is gaining popularity among people, both in the medical and recreational fields. Topical creams based on CBD have been snapped up off the shelves as they help the skin retain moisture, fighting the symptoms of diseases like acne and eczema. This benefit is mainly due to the known anti-inflammatory properties of CBD.

Although CBD does not present psychoactive effects, it has the potential to offer relaxation to those suffering from anxiety and probably also to those suffering from depression. In numerous publications, it has been reported that CBD is effective both alone and in the presence of THC and other plant components. In the case of THC, CBD is said to act as a mediator for mental alteration, lowering the “maximum psychoactive” level.This is largely due to the fact that CBD is an antagonist of the CB1 receptors of the endocannabinoid system, while THC he is an agonist.
In addition, CBD is starting to show the potential to combat the development of certain types of cancer. It has been observed in the laboratory that this cannabinoid kills breast cancer cells. However, this study was conducted on cells in the laboratory, not on guinea pigs or humans. Nevertheless, these findings are certainly encouraging given the danger of this group of diseases.

Another useful application that has taken the industry by storm is CBD as an ingredient for sleep supplements . Although in itself it is not sedative, it has been shown to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, in the presence of other beneficial substances such as melatonin.

STUDY OF THE WORLD ORGANIZATION OF HEALTH

Now that we are all on the same level as to what the CBD entails for recreational and therapeutic consumers, we can analyze the WHO study. We recommend that you read this whole document , even if we will explain the main points of the study. This paper examines what CBD is, its chemical conformation, use, pharmacology, toxicity and also dependence and potential for abuse. There are 27 pages for a single cannabinoid, the one the world needs exactly: more unbiased information on cannabis!

The sections concerning CBD dependency and its potential for abuse represent an opinion of such an influential organization that is unprecedented. In a complementary article , the ECDD summarizes the information stating that: “Current evidence also shows that cannabidiol does not tend to be abused or addictive like other cannabinoids (such as tetracannabinol (THC), for example).” Although cannabis does not contain compounds capable of chemically inducing addiction, the mental alteration induced by THC can become cognitively associated with pleasure, which in turn could lead to some form of addiction or psychological dependence.

However, the biggest news is how the ECDD interpreted this information. They go on to say: “The ECDD therefore concluded that current information does not justify the inclusion of cannabidiol as an addictive substance.” With this, the committee has scheduled for May 2018 a complete review of cannabis and its related substances.

This is extremely good news because it will put pressure on reconsidering legislation in countries and organizations around the world. This article does not just show how innocent the CBD is, but how irresponsible its state is from a health point of view. We can not say with certainty what consequence this study could have, but what we are sure of is that this is a big step for the cannabis community and the patients who need this medicine.
