People are increasingly turning to natural remedies in place of pharmaceuticals for a host of medical ailments.
- Many consume kava extracts instead of using benzodiazepines for depression and anxiety, while others in the west similarly consume kratom in place of addictive pain medicine.
Although both of these plants have been used for thousands of years in their respective locations of origin throughout the world, many in the west are just now discovering their therapeutic potential. They’re not a total replacement for pharmaceuticals, but they’re offering many people relief that they otherwise couldn’t get from the doses their physicians are willing to prescribe of other medications. This is in large part another reason for the popularity of CBD products. CBD is one among dozens of other cannabinoids found in marijuana. Because it doesn’t have intoxicating effects, the federal government has permitted its production and retail sales as long as the CBD is being extracted from low-THC hemp strains of cannabis. In fact, you can buy cured flower products of CBD enriched hemp marijuana crops. The hemp strains look and smell like high-THC cannabis, but they lack the intoxicating effects of the latter. Instead, you get more of the medical benefits from the cannabis plant as a tradeoff. You can get these CBD flower products delivered to your house through the mail system. The store on the internet where I order my CBD flower products also carries CBD tinctures, skin balms, and gummy candies. I still prefer buying the cured CBD hemp flower and using it with my marijuana vaporizer. It’s always an exciting day when I’m expecting a mail delivery of CBD hemp flower buds.
