Definition - What does CBD mean?
CBD, known as cannabidiol, is a natural compound found in the plant cannabis, often extracted for its oil-based solution used in commercial products. Unlike tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol lacks the psychoactive component that induces the characteristic “high” associated with cannabis; however, its medicinal effects in tempering symptoms related to particular psychological conditions (i.e. anxiety, depression) is gaining traction.SureHire explains CBD
The overall health benefits of cannabidiol use remain controversial, backed with ongoing research that comparatively measures control trials, independent of supporting evidence where individuals struggling with substance abuse or chronic pain episodes demonstrate positive results in treatment. Holistically, the ingestion of CBD-derivative compounds can bolster the metabolic response of triggering the release of natural cannabidiol biomarkers against recurring symptoms linked with pathological or psychological conditions, including respectively, opiate use disorders and anxiety/depression. Though commercial CBD use is legal in Canada, employers face polarizing loopholes between the regulation of cannabidiol apart from recreational cannabis, which contains its psychoactive counterpart THC.
Incidentally, an across-the-board provision that incorporates cannabis and its CBD derivative compound into a uniform category can lead to nuanced interpretations where trace amounts of THC can reportedly appear in urine specimens, hedging questions over suspected drug abuse. Since CBD oil solutions contain different potency quotients, individuals should ensure that licensed retailers furnish third-party lab results to verify contents where residual THC compounds can exist, undermining the integrity of drug testing procedures.
