“The scientists found that a cannabinoid such as cannabindiol (CBD) causes brain cells in the hippocampus to grow, this would be an explanation to the previous studies that identified CBD as an effective treatment for mood disorders such as depression, anxiety and stress as all of these are attributed to a lack of adult neurogenesis.
Amazingly, Hemp doesn’t have any high level of psychoactive effects when smoked or ingested because there is little to no THC present (as per the voted on opinion that “hemp” is defined by the cannabis plant containing a THC level of less than 0.3%). This means anyone could benefit from the benefits of CBD without getting “high” from it.
