CBD & WELLNESS by Margo Gilliland

CBD and Anxiety Calm, Cool and Collected This month let’s define CBD, cannabis, marijuana, and how it can help with anxiety. The 2018 Farm Bill made it legal to grow hemp in the United States. CBD products are legal to sell if they’re derived from hemp and contain less than 0.3 percent THC. THC is the main component that is responsible for the “high” associated with cannabis. Seeking relief from anxiety is on a lot of peoples’ to-do-list. CBD is a low cost, low side effect way to see if you can get relief from your anxiety. CBD interacts with receptors in our bodies involved in a variety of functions. It is well known to be helpful for anxiety, pain and as a sleep aid in humans and pets. CBD is an extract from hemp (cannabis) plants that contain less than 0.3% THC. Radicle Science, a transformative health tech, recently released the results of history’s largest real-world study, consisting of nearly 3,000 random participants. Known as the ACES trial, (Advancing CBD Education and Science), participants said, on average, they had experienced a 71% improvement in their well-being. While 63% experienced an improvement in anxiety and sleep quality, 47% experienced improvements in pain levels. Of those, 61% reported an effect within one to four hours of taking the product. The ability to cope with anxiety is key to resilience in the face of whatever life throws at you. As I mentioned in last month’s article, CBD was life-changing for me. I discovered how to get the most help while a patient at AIMS Institute in Seattle working with a world-renowned MD, PhD, specializing in cannabis medicine. CBD comes in many forms. We carry organic, high-quality, lab-tested products. It is our passion to help others as we have been helped so much by the cannabis plant. Check out our new website www.thegoodsfl.com.
