I was talking to a woman who practiced holistic health.
I wanted to know if CBD products were the same as marijuana? She told me yes, but no.
When people think 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 part of the plant that helps with everything from soreness, to helping with cancer. CBD and THC come from the same plant, but are different derivatives of that plant. They need to be carefully extracted and there are all different other products that come from marijuana besides CBD and THC. They are the two 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 specific need. They don’t treat the symptom, but try to find a way to treat the problem. She didn’t believe it was good to mask a symptom unless you were isolating it for treatment. She said she always 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 give 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.
