CBD won’t get people high, but it does have a range of health benefits—so much so that some states are legalizing it for medical purposes and other countries may soon follow suit.

According to a 2015 article published in Medical Cannabis and Cannabinoids, CBD is an effective treatment for anxiety. CBD has also been shown to reduce symptoms of schizophrenia by up to 40% when combined with antipsychotic medications.

One of the most popular uses of CBD is the treatment of pain.
As a pharmacist, you may be wondering what CBD is, and how it can help alleviate pain. The answer is that CBD has been shown to have a wide variety of effects on the human body. It can help with a range of symptoms, such as anxiety or depression, but it also has some very specific benefits when it comes to relieving pain.
CBD works by interacting with receptors throughout our nervous system and brain to create balance within these systems and restore homeostasis. For example: if one’s suffering from arthritis or fibromyalgia-related pain due to inflammation in her joints (or any other reason), then this is where CBD comes in handy! It helps relieve inflammation by acting as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Additionally, studies show that CBD reduces levels of substance P which helps fight against chronic pain.
