A Brief History of CBD [All The Way Back to Early Civilization]
The use of Cannabidiol (CBD) dates back thousands of years
to the tail end of the first ice age. Archaeological evidence shows that cannabis sativa, the source of CBD, was one of the first crops cultivated by
the early man.
Many associate the growing of cannabis with the modern
world. In reality it is linked to the advent of agriculture some 12, 000 years
ago.
Carl Sagan,
an icon of scientific credibility, believed that cannabis may have been the
world's first cultivated crop. This made it crucial to the development of
civilization. There is no doubt that cannabis has played an integral part in human society since ancient times.

Cannabis has always been an extremely versatile plant. Its
seeds and oil were used as food by the Chinese people as early as 6,000 BCE. Around 4,000 BCE, both China and Turkestan made textile from
its fiber, while the Arabs learned the technique of making paper from hemp.
Contrary to the modern restrictions imposed on cannabis growth, King Henry VIII of England often fined the farmers who
didn't raise hemp for industrial purposes.
In the early 1850s cannabis
was used in the U.S.A, as a medicinal drug that could easily be bought from
pharmacies and in general stores. Nonetheless, in the mid - 20th century, the
cultivation of Cannabis was prohibited in the U.S.A and UK.
Now things are changing once again and quickly. Interest in
hemp products, especially CBD, have motivated farmers and activists across
America. People are lobbying for the legalization of cannabis for medicinal
purposes, and it's working.
In 2014, CBD's use was legalized for medical purposes in
several states across the U.S.A, representing a landmark in the annals of CBD. The
legalization also marked the first instance of CBD use in states that previous
use of medical marijuana was prohibited.
With so many health
benefits, CBD continues to grow more
popular.
What is CBD?
CBD
is an acronym of cannabidiol, a chemical compound derived from the plant cannabis sativa – also known as hemp. CBD is a naturally occurring compound that is
used for pain, anxiety, seizures, and muscle disorders.
CBD is commonly used in products such as oils and other
edibles for relaxation and pain relief. CBD is
non-psychoactive, unlike THC, which is the primary active ingredient in cannabis. Therefore, CBD won't create a high feeling like THC does.

CBD has been used to relieve and treat pain as far as 2900 B.C. In

Anxiety and depression are commonly treated with
pharmaceutical drugs. Those drugs can come with different side effects such as
insomnia, headache, agitation, drowsiness, and others. CBD oil had shown great
promise in treating anxiety and depression more naturally. CBD oil has been
used to effectively
treat insomnia and anxiety disorders in children with post-traumatic stress
conditions.
