WHAT IS CBD? IS IT A FOOD? IS IT A SUPPLEMENT? IS IT A DRUG?
CBD cannabidiol is a food and a supplement and a drug by all definitions. CBD is a type of cannabinoid which there greater than 70 types in cannabis of all types. Marijuana is a definition of cannabis type which is a high in resins, high in THCA which transforms into THC via heat and or the aging process naturally. Same goes for CBD. Hemp is a term used to define a type of cannabis plant which is low resin and high in CBDA before heating or aging. CBD is the derivative of CBDA. Heat and or time will convert CBDA into CBD. The list of types of cannabinoids are long. Here are a few from that long list: CBDA-CBD-CBN-CBG-CBC-THCA-THC-THCV and the list goes on. This is why isolates which is one type of cannabinoid may not work for any particular person at that time of their life or situation. A full spectrum of cannabinoids will have a higher probability of making the desired effects and results but it never a hundred percent. Nothing ever is in when it comes to the human condition regarding your health and homeostasis. It take a number of correct things to be going on and happening simultaneously working with other chemicals which makes that change you are looking for or trying to maintain in your body and wellness. Regarding the isolate, which is a single chemical vrs a full spectrum, which is a spectrum of chemical I would prefer in my own opinion a the full range of cannabinoids for my body.
Why? Think of it like this, if you have a shot gun which uses a spray of small pellets to hit its target, its more likely to do so. If you use a single shot you may not hit your target and if you do then your a good shot with just one bullet. A shotgun blast of a 100 small metal spheres will have a much higher probability of hitting its intended target. With this in mind, I would have to say it is the same with using cannabis oils and other type of products. Some cannabinoids will actually counter other type of cannabinoids such as CBD will reduce or nullify the psychoactive effects of THC. THCA has no psycho active effects and only does so when it is heated or aged over time. This is why when you smoke cannabis flower which are full of THCA before smoking and after being burned into smoke is converted into THC the mind altering cannabinoid. If you ate the flowers then you would get the psychoactive effects after the body converted some of the THCA to THC, same applies with CBDA and other cannabinoids.
Is it a food? Yes by definition it is a food. Anything which provides the body with nutrients are consider food. When you eat broccoli it is not only one type of chemical its an array or full spectrum of chemicals and nutrients which the body decides what it needs and disregards the rest in most cases. When you eat an apple you get fiber, you also get carbohydrates (natural sugars) and some proteins, all of what the body is needing. There are many more types of nutrients which apples have you can see it here. Cannabis which includes marijuana and hemp types of plants have nutritional benefits.
Is it a supplement? Well I would have to say this has already been answered by the previous question of Is it a food? Of course it is a supplement. Your adding a type of chemical or chemicals to your normal diet. A diet is what your are currently eating for your nutritional intake to maintain a healthy life and maintenance. People have gotten it confused with not being on a diet but they eat. Well if your eating your dieting on something. You are more correct when you say Im changing my diet rather than saying Im going on a diet. This instills that you must do something to change something which you have already been doing. Your just going to change your diet from this to that. So from the 1st day or really prior to your birth date you are on either your mothers diet and eventually that changes to another type of diet of your own over your lifetime. Bottom line cannabis from all parts of the plant can be added to ones diet as a supplement. Remember, a supplement is adding to ones current diet.
Is it a drug? Well, yes of course it is. It causes a change in the physiology of the body, a specific or array of chemicals causing a change in ones body and/or mental being. If you drink coffee then you are getting chemicals which can change the way your body is acting and processing nutrients. Its a drug and a food and a supplement. An apple is a food, drug and supplement if your adding an apple a day to amend your diet.
So Foods are the bulk of the diet one uses to get nutrients for life support. Supplements are amendments to ones diet to increase wellness of being and maintain a state of homeostasis. Drugs are amendments to the diet to make changes for the better from a medical type of condition. If you take vitamin D supplements, is it a supplement? Is it now a drug because your low in D? Or is it a food? I would say that it needed by the body regularly and is more of a supplement to your diet. Unless you are being medical drawn down by a lake of vitamin D in your diet natural formation of this chemical then it could be a drug as well. It depends upon the condition of the situation compared to what is normal for the being. I used the word being because I consider lower animals such as pigs, cows, birds, cats, dogs etc etc as all needing nutrients of all sorts on a daily basis of survival on this blue rock we call earth.
I hope this helps in clearing and educating you a bit and is not to be a final summation of these words and ideas. One must and it is their duty to do due diligence on their own to educate and understand what is really going on and using and knowing definitions is very important to understanding the subject, any subject at hand.
Thanks for taking the time to read my ideas and thoughts on this subject. It will not be defined by the government or FDA or anybody because it has already been done so long long ago before any of us where here on earth.
P.S. You can get a bottle of food supplements on my site which I suggest of cannabinoids. The 1500 ml which is 1gram to 28.5 grams of the 1oz bottle for $77.77 and you can qualify for 1/4 of a share of stock when available in my business Gratuite Lavie CBD.
P.S.S Remember foods, supplements and drugs are all chemicals of sorts and are used to continue life support. One takes CBD and THC for many reasons but I would suggest taking a full spectrum of CBD in the morning and CBD & THC in the evening prior to sleep on a regular daily basis.
