Cannabis, popularly known as marijuana, is a psychoactive drug from the cannabis plant which is generally used for medical and recreational purposes. Marijuana can be consumed through inhaling it as vapor, brewing it as tea, through foods as well as applying it as a balm. Medical marijuana or cannabis is used for medicinal purposes. It is used to treat chronic pain, nausea, anorexia, muscle spasticity, sleep disturbances, and so on.
Medical marijuana, as a matter of fact, is not subject to governmental standardization, which makes its ingredients and potency unknown and although it is not legal in all the states, cannabis has been proven to be beneficial in many ways.

Benefits of Cannabidiol Oil

The CBD oil is said to have several potential benefits for the treatment as well as the management of various disorders owing to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic, and muscle-relaxing effects on the body. Research reiterates that such a wide variety of effects are due to the ability of the CBD to interact with numerous cannabinoid receptors used by the body’s endocannabinoid system. Metabolic pathways are modulated by the endocannabinoid system of the body in response to the CBD through the release of neurotransmitters, which in return affects the sleep, cognition, pain sensation, and memory.

Can CBD treat disorders?

Use of CBD in the treatment of rare disorders
The use of CBD time and again has shown its effectiveness in the treatment of epilepsy, including Dravet syndrome, which is a rare, genetic, epileptic disorder that begins during the first year of life and affects even healthy infants. A remarkable thing to note here is that the Dravet syndrome is the first disorder for which cannabidiol (oral solution) has been approved by the FDA. The Lennox gastaut syndrome is another such disorder for which cannabidiol may be used.

The anti-inflammatory effects

Research shows that cannabidiol seems to be a much more effective antioxidant than vitamin C and E and has also demonstrated superior neuroprotective properties along with its qualities to treat several skin problems and diabetes. The anti-inflammatory effects of CBD have proved to be an area of promising research in its therapeutic use. However, the use of CBD in the treatment of disorders such as schizophrenia or medical conditions like cancer requires a massive amount of research because of the complexity of these medical conditions.

Conclusion

In spite of its many benefits, cannabidiol has not yet been successfully legalized in many countries due to numerous barriers and perspectives.
