Researchers at Western University have shown for the first time the molecular mechanisms at work that cause cannabidiol, or CBD, to block the psychiatric side-effects caused by tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis. It has been previously shown that strains of cannabis with high levels of THC and low levels of CBD can cause increased psychiatric effects, including paranoia, anxiety and addictive-behaviours, but why that was occurring was not fully understood. Steven Laviolette, PhD, and his research team used rats to investigate the role of a molecule in the brain's hippocampus called extracellular-signal regulated kinase (ERK) which triggers the neuropsychiatric effects of THC. "For years we have known that strains of cannabis high in THC and low in...

The phrase “CBD” gets all the media attention, but in reality CBD is just one of over 80 cannabinoids that can be found in the hemp plant. Others include CBG, CBN, CBC, and more. Some products sold as “CBD oil” have been isolated and contain only CBD. But other oils (including ours at Charlotte’s Web™) are full-spectrum hemp oils. This means they contain the entire spectrum of active compounds found in the hemp plant. Some of these beneficial compounds include things like terpenes and flavonoids (antioxidants).
