Before talking about reasons to try CBD, you should find out what this substance is. It should be noted that CBD is obtained from hemp, which has a low THC content, unlike marijuana. Therefore, we will talk about the substance obtained from hemp. Our body, as in the case of alcohol, produces cannabinoids due to the fact that humans have an endocannabinoid system that is actually capable of producing endocannabinoids.
So, our body produces endocannabinoids and hemp produces phytocannabinoids. CB1 endocannabinoids affect our feelings of hunger, pleasure, memory, even the sense of time. There are also CB2 receptors that are responsible for the body’s immune response, inflammatory processes, temperature rise… For example, the effect on CB1 receptors in runners affects the appearance of the so-called second breath.
Our receptors are very similar to a keyhole, and actually different keys that have a high level of similarity are able to open the lock. This actually explains why phytocannabinoids are able to have such an effect on our body.

Eliminate the narcotic effect
If there is more CBD than THC in your joint, then most likely this joint will not have a psychotropic effect and therefore you will not get drugged. This aspect will be interesting for YouTubers who want to brag about how they smoke big jams from which nothing happens to them, or if you just want to show off in the company.
