Endocannabinoid System Receptors Found in every animal and regulates a broad range of biological functions. Primary cannabinoid receptors are identified CB1 CB2 There are more receptors being researchedmore to come!
CB1 and CB2 receptors CB1 receptors Marijuana s psychoactive effects. They are present in many areas of the brain and play a role in memory, mood, sleep, appetite and pain sensation.

Cannabidiol (CBD) versus THC THC and CBD molecules present in largest amounts in cannabis Most recognized and studied compounds CBD has opposing effect of THC Classified as phytocannabinoids (as opposed to endocannabinoids and cannabinoids that are manufactured artificially), both CBD and THC interact with specific cells in our brains.

Benefits of CBD Oil Antioxidant for age related illness Seizure disorders and epilepsy (Charlotte s Web CBD Oil) Antibacterial Rheumatoid arthritis Inhibits cancer cell growth (anti-tumor effect) Neuro-protective Inflammation Pain relief Suppresses muscle spasm ( THC and CBD) Reduces vomiting and nausea Promotes a calming and sedative effect
CBD oil acts as a natural pain killer Natural pain killer CBD activates the same brain areas as opioids Important role in the control of synaptic transmission in pain pathways Act as neuromodulators for a series of physiological processes among which pain-sensation Analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties CBD oil can reduce the pain in arthritis
CBD oil is a neuroprotective agent Reduces oxidative stress and prevents neurodegradation Crohn s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, gastric ulcers, Alzheimer s disease, Parkinson s disease CBD oil inhibits the production of glutamate there-by protecting brain cells and reducing the risk of ischemic damage
CBD oil is beneficial for skin CBD oil has anti-inflammatory effects and can inhibit the production of sebum and good for treating acne Inhibits the production of sebocytes and exerts antiproliferative effects, while reducing inflammation
Skin conditions and role of CBD oil SKIN CANCER Demonstrate that AEA (Arachidonoyl ethanolamide induced apoptosis) induced cytotoxicity against human melanoma cells PSORIASIS Inhibit keratinocyte proliferation PRURITUS Antipruritic effect and reduction in itch by 86.4% ALLERGIC CONTACT DERMATITIS Attenuation of allergic contact dermatitis Protective role of the endocannabinoid system

Hemp oil benefits NERVE FUNCTION BRAIN DEVELOPMENT SKIN HEALTH IMMUNE ENHANCEMENT EFAs are required for healthy cell membrane structures, particularly in nerve cells as they are required for the myelin sheath In children, EFAs (DHA specifically) are required for brain development Hemp seed oil provides the fatty acids necessary for maintaining healthy and flexible cell membranes as well as exerting anti-viral, antifungal, and anti-bacterial properties. EFAs have been found to enhance immune function, speed up the rate of immune reactions, help reestablish population control over intestinal bacteria, and enable improved cellular energy for removing waste materials.
Summary Great potential in the treatment of many disorders Federal and state laws are changing daily New research is on the horizon
