1. CBD and public health problems in France
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is amolecule extracted from the hemp plant, notably Cannabis L. Sativa and Cannabis Indica varieties. It therefore includes all the virtues of cannabis, without the psychotropic effect, associated with another cannabinoid, THC. In France, only hemp products with less than 0.3% THC are authorized, because they do not impair cognitive abilities and do not induce a “high” or intoxicating effect.
The first reason that explains the popularity of CBD is its soothing, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties which align with several public health problems in France:
- 7 out of 10 French people report having a sleep problem according to an IFOP study… and CBD is a natural remedy for insomnia;
- 65% of French people say they are stressed, according to a survey conducted by Ipsos for Boiron Laboratories. Cannabidiol is popular for its soothing and relaxing action;
- Opioids, powerful pain medications, cause seven hospitalizations per day and four deaths per week. CBD is an excellent painkiller that can be considered by health professionals to limit the use of highly addictive opioids as much as possible.
2. Scientific studies around CBD are increasing
The era when cannabinoids were shrouded in mystery is definitely over. Today, not a week goes by without specialized journals reporting a study or research work around CBD and its prowess. Just take a look at the “Health and well-being » from the 321CBD blog to see it.
It should be noted here that the major experimentation with CBD and medical hemp carried out by the Ministry of Health has contributed to the rehabilitation of cannabis as a useful plant in the pharmacopoeia when its use is strictly regulated.
3. The emergence of practical CBD products
