We have to talk a little about the science behind this crazy cool compound, as it will help us better understand how it can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. Lets face it, if you\u2019re a human on planet earth living in 2019 \u2014 you know a little something about one or all of these ailments. Let\u2019s start with some facts about cannabidiol:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>CBD, aka cannabidiol, is a cannabinoid, like THC. They are both present in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not have psychoactive properties. It does not get you high in the same way as THC, though overconsumption can <a href=\"https:\/\/merryjane.com\/culture\/can-you-get-high-from-snorting-weed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u>still lead to intense side effect<\/u><\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>CBD activates the 5-HT1A serotonin receptor (which stimulates serotonin production), resulting in an anti-anxiety effect. This receptor is involved in a range of neurological and biological processes, some of which include: pain perception, anxiety, addiction, sleep, nausea, vomiting, and appetite. &nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>The FDA has approved the use of hemp-derived CBD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CBD has been used for ages now, and really started to go mainstream in about 2014. So, if you\u2019re still on the fence about it, but are getting closer to giving it a try because you&#8217;re hearing everyone and their mom talking about it\u2026 you should take the plunge!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"1556050201725_IMG_0060.jpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/files.merryjane.com\/uploads\/generic\/1556050201725_IMG_0060.jpeg\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 301px;\"\/><\/p>\n<p>We all live fast-paced, hectic, lives. Our busy schedules, responsibilities, work, money, family life, and more all heavily impact our well-being. Staying balanced, and making healthy choices, is of course the best form of treatment for common stressors. That said, most of us are too busy to stay well-balanced. So infusing something as simple as CBD oil into our lives to help relieve anxiety is a pretty simple, easy choice when trying to help ourselves.

It\u2019s a natural choice, and works on an organic level with our bodies. Every one of us has a built-in cannabinoid processor called the endocannabinoid system, specifically designed for interacting with cannabinoids. This system controls the functions that involve appetite, mood, and memory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in healthy alternatives to modern medicinal approaches for treating anxiety, you should definitely look into adding <a href=\"https:\/\/cbdrustore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pure CBD oil<\/a> to your life routine.
