CBD And Its Antipsychotic Properties
Before the discovery of CBD in 1947, the therapeutic activities of the cannabis plant were linked to the high concentration of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which can cause the user to get high at high doses. Further research into the chemical content of the cannabis plant revealed the presence of CBD with antipsychotic effects and little to no negative side effects. The recent moves to legalise the use of CBD were based on its therapeutic use in psychiatric conditions and its ability to serve as a replacement prescription for a wide range of disease conditions without tampering with the mental and physical health of the body.
