What Is CBD?

 

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants. It belongs to a class of compounds known as cannabinoids. CBD is derived primarily from hemp plants, which are a variety of cannabis plants with low levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound that produces the "high" commonly associated with marijuana.

CBD has gained significant attention in recent years due to its potential therapeutic properties and its non-intoxicating nature. It is commonly used in various forms, including oils, tinctures, capsules, creams, and edibles. CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters involved in regulating various physiological functions such as pain, mood, appetite, and sleep.

Research suggests that CBD may have several potential benefits. It is commonly used for:

  1. Pain management: CBD may help alleviate chronic pain by reducing inflammation and interacting with neurotransmitters involved in pain perception.

  2. Anxiety and depression: CBD has shown promise in reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, although further research is needed to understand its full effects.

  3. Neuroprotective properties: Some studies suggest that CBD may have neuroprotective properties and could be beneficial in conditions such as epilepsy and multiple sclerosis.

  4. Sleep disorders: CBD may help improve sleep quality and address conditions like insomnia.

  5. Anti-inflammatory effects: CBD has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial in conditions associated with inflammation, such as arthritis.

It's important to note that while CBD is generally considered safe, it can interact with certain medications. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating CBD into your routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications. Additionally, regulations surrounding CBD products vary by country, so it's essential to be aware of the legal status of CBD in your location.

Can CBD Help dogs?

CBD (cannabidiol) can potentially help dogs with various conditions. CBD is a non-intoxicating compound derived from the cannabis plant. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system, which is present in both humans and animals, including dogs.

CBD has been reported to have several potential benefits for dogs, including:

  1. Pain relief: CBD may help alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, injuries, and post-surgical discomfort in dogs.

  2. Anxiety and stress reduction: CBD may have a calming effect on dogs and help reduce anxiety-related behaviors, such as separation anxiety, noise phobias, and generalized anxiety.

  3. Seizure management: Some studies suggest that CBD may help reduce the frequency and severity of seizures in dogs with epilepsy.

  4. Anti-inflammatory properties: CBD has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects, which could potentially benefit dogs with inflammatory conditions such as allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, and autoimmune disorders.

  5. Appetite stimulation and nausea relief: CBD may help stimulate appetite in dogs that have a decreased appetite due to illness or medication, and it may also help alleviate nausea and vomiting.

It's important to note that while CBD shows promise in these areas, more research is needed to fully understand its effectiveness, proper dosages, and potential side effects for dogs. Additionally, it's crucial to use CBD products specifically formulated for pets, as human CBD products may contain ingredients that are toxic to dogs.

Before giving CBD to your dog, it's recommended to consult with a veterinarian who is knowledgeable about cannabis products for pets. They can provide guidance on appropriate dosages and help determine if CBD is a suitable option for your dog's specific needs.

From there the genetics moved to New England and eventually Holland. lt took many generations to finally produce this stable Bubble Gum, with the characteristic, sweet smell (truly resembling a typical bubble gum taste) and euphoric high; the original trademarks of this famous strain. The only inbred strain (no F1 hybrid) in the Serious menu. Winner of two awards in the High Times Cannabis Cup of 1994, a 2nd place in 1995 and again a 2nd prize in 1999, giving Bubble Gum a total of 4 awards from the judges.

Harvesting - Growing Weed

Once your grow is complete you are going to want to harvest your crop right? Hell yeah you are. Start by cutting the stem at the bottom and then cut of the branches that have the buds on. Now what you are going to need to do is trim around buds to remove the leaf growth that has happened during the grow. Be carefull doing this as you do not want to cut bits of the bud off.

Once you have trimmed the leaves off your buds you are then going to need to store the buds, preferably hanging them on a bit of string at room tempreature for the buds to dry out and cure.

Well that sort of sums it up, have phun smoking.
