CBD is all the rage in Tennessee so I thought I should try to learn more about its uses. Smith has also written a text book on the subject. Here are some of the things I learned: CBD helps decrease the deleterious effects of THC; we have cannabinoid receptors in our bodies which are called CB1 and CB2 receptors; ingesting CBD and THC cause them to be metabolized by the body and this changes their molecular structure: CBD becomes 7-OH-CBD and CBD-7-oic acid and THC becomes 11-OH-THC which is much more potent than plain THC; the best CBD is whole plant because it contains other cannabinoids such as CBG, CBN, CBC, THCV and terpenes; THC is a sedative but CBD can have the opposite effect.
