This is not medical advice, if you have specific questions research CBD at Project CBD or ask someone knowledgeable you respect.
The human endocannabinoid system (ECS) is the largest in the human body, yes larger than the central nervous system. As such, it regulates a myriad of functions (cellular communication, metabolism, immune response, learning, emotional processing, memory and a ton more). It is the main system for overall balance and performance of your body.
A good analogy is to think of the human body as a mobile, not a stick figure, meaning there are a ton of interconnected parts which function together and separately which many effect one another. The stick figure model says if “this does this”, may have one chasing one symptom after another rather than a wholistic approach to keeping the mobil spinning but balanced.
It is my understanding there are many bodies we humans are dealing at the very least: the physical, mental, emotional, energetic and the imagination. Feeling is not only awareness of our physical body, but awareness of all our bodies. Our culture does not always support awareness of the subtle bodies or acknowledge the role of intuition. It is currently propagating the materialist view point. We are extremely complex beings and the interactions which happen are not completely understood despite our modern medical utopia. All emotions are stored cellularly in the body and often due to our past experiences are not intune with all our experiences. Maybe, we did not have time to process something. We often run through our day on autopilot, habituated to the way we are or our ‘state of being’. If we run a behavior long enough, this becomes biochemical wired. I think it is easy to acknowledge the Pavlov dog experiment, but we are Pavlov’s dog. Fight or flight response, cortisol, stress (EMF), these are where we are in modern society. We are not aware or unconscious to what is happening now for us. We are preoccupied w/ work, kids, school, social setting etc. Hemp (high CBD/low THC) is the remedy, the pattern interrupt for our modern day situation.
I do not know if it is the reduction of cortisol, extended reduced inflammation, hemp restored balance to the human body. Extended periods of time on hemp CBD (high CBD/ low THC) have brought me (& others) into a higher state of balance through access to the present moment. The present moment of Now, which enables one to integrate past e-motions resulting in subtle changes to my thought process, while noticing enhanced functioning of my body. It only makes sense by the experience. The truth is experiencetial. Only in the present moment are we capable of making a new decision.
You can still function, feel and participate in our everyday world while feeding your Endocannabinoid system , lowering cortisol, increasing awareness of the subtle reminders our bodies are sending us on a daily, moment by moment basis.
The effects may include reduction of pain, inflammation, depression, anxiety increased sleep etc.
Cannabis, the WHOLE PLANT, (trace amounts of THC, NOT the THC) is the connection back to Nature.
