The World Anti-Doping Agency is responsible for governing drug testing in the Olympics, Ultimate Fighting Champion and other major sports events. But from when the agency created the list in 2004 up until the start of October, all types of cannabis were prohibited. Now, the agency is removing CBD from its list of banned substances.

What is CBD Oil?

CBD hemp oil is made from high-CBD, low-THC hemp, unlike medical marijuana products, which are usually made from plants with high concentrations of psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Because hemp contains only trace amounts of THC, these hemp oil products are non-psychoactive.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is just one of over 85 cannabinoids presently identified in the cannabis plant and is the second most abundant cannabinoid in marijuana after THC. In hemp, however, THC is only present in trace amounts, while CBD dominates the
plant’s makeup.

CBD interacts with our naturally occurring systems, but is non-psychotropic, it doesn’t cause a high. This makes it a safer, less controversial alternative, while still offering significant benefits.

Things that I've personally reserched "Shout out to Google" or personally heard back from people I know taking it about the benefits of taking CBD Oils.

Benefits

Because of the way that CBD acts in the body, it has many potential uses. CBD oil is taken orally, rubbed on the skin, and most popularly inhaled through vapor or used intravenously to produce its effects.

There is some promising evidence that CBD use may help people to quit smoking. A pilot study posted to Addictive Behaviors found that smokers who used an inhaler containing the compound CBD smoked fewer cigarettes but did not have any additional craving for nicotine.

Natural pain relief or anti-inflammatory properties

People commonly use prescription or over-the-counter drugs to relieve pain and stiffness, including chronic pain.

Some people feel that CBD offers a more natural way to lower pain. A study published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine found that CBD significantly reduced chronic inflammation and pain in some mice and rats.

The researchers suggest that the non-psychoactive compounds in marijuana, such as CBD, could be a new treatment for chronic pain.

CBD is already in use for some conditions that cause chronic pain, such as multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia.

We have seen the increase of medical marijuana being used across multiple states in America and we all know the UKs relationship to the US is a simular relationship as a sheep to it's sheperd, so I'm sure we won't be that far behind.

BUT ..

Most of us have Jobs to go to, children to care for or drug tests to pass lol, so maybe there is a positive alternative that we all can benefit from.

Did someone say CBD ?

All that's left for me to do is learn how to do this shit.
