Cannabidiol (
CBD) is one of at least 60 active cannabinoids (http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Cannabinoid)
identified in cannabis (http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Cannabis)
.
[4] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol#cite_note-Borgelt2013-4) It is a major constituent of the plant, accounting for up to 40% of the plant’s extract, as a non-psychotropic phytocannabinoid.
This per Wikipedia as you can see here if you would like to educate yourself on CBD. (http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Cannabidiol)
Parkinson’s diseaseIn 1985, a single case study suggested that CBD may be effective in the management of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in a Parkinson’s disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Parkinson%
27s_disease)
patient. A small open-label clinical trial demonstrated therapeutic benefit of cannabidiol in Parkinson’s disease psychosis. This condition is often particularly problematic to treat seeing how Parkinson’s disease involves the gradual destruction of the dopaminergic cells of the nigrostriatal pathway and most antipsychotics (with the exception of clozapine and quetiapine) significantly inhibit nigrostriatal dopamine activity.
SchizophreniaCBD has anti-psychotic effects and may counteract the potential psychotomimetic (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychotomimetic) effects of THC on individuals with latent schizophrenia (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophrenia); some reports show it to be an alternative treatment for schizophrenia that is safe and well-tolerated. Studies have shown CBD may reduce schizophrenic symptoms due to its apparent ability to stabilize disrupted or disabled NMDA receptor pathways in the brain, which are shared and sometimes contested by norepinephrine and GABA.Leweke
et al. performed a double blind, 4 week, explorative controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of purified cannabidiol and the atypical antipsychotic amisulpride on improving the symptoms of schizophrenia in 42 patients with acute paranoid schizophrenia. Both treatments were associated with a significant decrease of psychotic symptoms after 2 and 4 weeks as assessed by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.
Anxiety DisorderStudies have shown cannabidiol decreases activity of the limbic system and decreases social isolation induced by THC.Cannabidiol has also been shown to reduce anxiety in social anxiety disorder (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_anxiety_disorder). Although in rats chronic cannabidiol administration was recently found to produce anxiogenic-like effects, hence indicating that, prolonged treatment with cannabidiol might incite anxiogenic effects.
DepressionCannabidiol has demonstrated antidepressant-
like effects in depression.
CBD-enhanced cannabisDecades ago, selective breeding by growers in US dramatically lowered the CBD content of cannabis; their customers preferred varietals that were more mind-altering due to a higher THC, lower CBD content. To meet the demands of medical cannabis patients, growers are currently developing more CBD-rich strains.
In November 2012, an Israeli medical cannabis (http://en.wikipedia.org/
wiki/Medical_
cannabis) facility announced a new strain of the plant which has only cannabidiol as an active ingredient, and virtually no THC, providing some of the medicinal benefits of cannabis without the euphoria. The researchers said the cannabis plant, enriched with CBD, “can be used for treating diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, colitis, liver inflammation, heart disease and diabetes”. Research on CBD enhanced cannabis began in 2009, resulting in Avidekel, a cannabis strain that contains 15.8% CBD and less than 1% THC. Raphael Mechoulam, a cannabinoid researcher, said “…Avidekel is thought to be the first CBD-enriched cannabis plant with no THC to have been developed in Israel”.
