Medihemp Admin, , ,

CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are both compounds derived from the cannabis plant, but they have key differences in their effects and legality. Psychoactive Effects: CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce the “high” typically associated with cannabis. This makes it ideal for people looking for therapeutic benefits without altering their mental state. THC, on the other hand, is the primary psychoactive component of cannabis, responsible for the “high” feeling. Legality: In South Africa, CBD is legal if it complies with specific regulations, such as: It should be consumed…

Medihemp Admin, , , ,

Full-Spectrum CBD: Full-spectrum CBD products contain a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other beneficial compounds found in the cannabis plant, including trace amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive compound). The combination of various compounds is thought to create an “entourage effect,” where the different components work synergistically to enhance the therapeutic effects of CBD. Users of full-spectrum CBD might experience a broader range of potential benefits due to the presence of multiple compounds. There may be a slight risk of THC content showing up on drug tests, especially with…

What is the endocannabinoid system?

Medihemp Admin,

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system that plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes and maintaining homeostasis (internal balance) within the body. It’s named after the plant compounds known as cannabinoids, which were first identified in cannabis, but the system exists naturally in our bodies and interacts with these compounds. The ECS consists of three main components: Endocannabinoids: These are naturally occurring compounds produced by the body. The two primary endocannabinoids are anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). They act as signaling molecules that bind to…

What is the entourage effect…?

Medihemp Admin,

The entourage effect is a phenomenon in which the various compounds present in the cannabis plant, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and other phytochemicals, work together synergistically to enhance the overall therapeutic effects of the plant. This concept suggests that the combined action of these compounds is more effective than the effects of any individual compound taken in isolation. The entourage effect primarily revolves around the interactions between cannabinoids and terpenes, which are aromatic compounds responsible for the distinctive scents and flavors of different cannabis strains. Here’s how it works: Cannabinoids: Cannabinoids…

What is apoptosis?

Medihemp Admin

Apoptosis is a regulated and highly orchestrated process of programmed cell death that occurs in multicellular organisms. It is a crucial mechanism for maintaining tissue homeostasis, eliminating damaged or unwanted cells, and playing a role in various biological processes, including development, immune response, and the prevention of cancer. Here are some key features of apoptosis: Programmed Cell Death: Unlike necrosis, which is a form of cell death caused by external factors like injury or infection and is typically uncontrolled and inflammatory, apoptosis is a programmed and controlled process initiated from…
