I was talking to a lady who practiced holistic health… I wanted to guess if CBD products were the same as marijuana? She told me yup, but no, and when people believe of marijuana, they are usually thinking about THC! THC is the substance that causes the hallucinations and feelings of being high! CBD is the medicinal section of the plant that helps with everything from soreness, to helping with cancer.
- CBD and THC come from the same plant, but are weird derivatives of that plant.
They need to be carefully extracted and there are all weird other products that come from marijuana besides CBD and THC. They are the many main products, and there are sub products from the main products. What they do as holistic health practitioners, is try to help people to choose the right marijuana product that will help with their unique need. They don’t treat the symptom, but try to find a way to treat the problem, and she didn’t think it was great to mask a symptom unless you were isolating it for treatment. She said she regularly tried to help her clients by finding the most natural element to help them. What is more natural than a plant that grows in abundance in nature. She never told anyone to use something that is created in a lab, and made of compounds that the normal person can’t pronounce. If it isn’t natural, it shouldn’t be going into the body. I agreed with her, and decided to provide holistic health a try! Although I was still taking acetaminophen for my aches and pains, I was taking less every week, and letting the products of the marijuana plant do its thing.
