We Bet You Didn’t Know These 8 CBD Facts!

If you’ve been reading our Baked Goods CBD blog, you’re likely aware of CBD’s potential health benefits. For instance, it can help reduce inflammation and promote pain relief. 

So, what else is there to know about it? Well, plenty! Check out these fun facts we’ve compiled:

• CBD can be extracted from the hemp or cannabis plant. The hemp plant contains less than 0.3% THC, which is why hemp CBD cannot get you high. 
• CBD may be isolated from hemp leaves, flowers, stems, and stalks. 
• Hemp seed oil is not the same as hemp CBD. Hemp seed oil is extracted from hemp seeds, which does not contain CBD. It’s common for people to consume hemp seeds or hemp seed oil for their intake of essential fatty acids. 
• Cannabidiol is only ONE of the hundreds of cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis plants! Other cannabinoids include THC, CBG, and CBN, and many more. 
• CBD could improve mood because it naturally helps brain cells convey serotonin signals. 
• For those with heart disease, CBD could help manage blood pressure levels. But talk to your doctor first to ensure that it doesn’t conflict with your current medications. 
• “A 2015 study published in the journal Neurotherapeutics indicated that non-habit-forming CBD might help recovering opioid addicts avoid relapse, likely by reducing anxiety and cravings,” explains the book CBD & You.  
• In a Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine study, 80% of dogs given CBD had significant improvements to both pain and quality of life with osteoarthritis.
