#cannabidiol

Scientists have discovered cannabidiol, a compound in cannabis known as CBD, in a common Brazilian plant, opening potential new avenues to produce the increasingly popular substance. The team found CBD in the fruits and flowers of a plant known as Trema micrantha blume, a shrub which grows across much of the South American country and is often considered a weed, molecular biologist Rodrigo Moura Neto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro told AFP in June. CBD, increasingly used by some to treat conditions including epilepsy, chronic pain and anxiety, is one of the main active compounds in cannabis, along with tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC – the substance that makes users feel high.

Last weekend I attended the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicines' annual national conference, in sunny Cairns, Australia.

I was fortunate enough to attend the conference on a student scholarship for my systematic review of reviews on CBD interventions within autistic population. I presented an academic poster that visually displayed and outlined the background, aims, methods and results of my research review.

This was my first national conference and I learnt a lot from the oral abstract presentations and academic posters. However, my main take away from my experience was the ability to network. Yes, you may say! thats the point! Conference are for networking . . . . .

No. I am talking about strategic networking and if there is one thing I learnt from my time in tourism marketing, it's how to strategically network.

Network with intention, having a purpose for making the connection is key here!

Ask yourself how the connection could benefit you

Ask yourself how you could benefit the connection

Pitch with purpose

Follow up with actions

e.g. I watched a presentation this past weekend looking at a bio-psychosocial screening tool used in clinical general practice for intervention prevention.

How did this potential connection benefit me? I wanted to adapt the screening tool for research purposes.

How can I benefit the potential connection? I want to work with the connection to further adapt, implement and publish the screening tool for research.

I pitched with purpose! I introduced myself, my research and affiliations (elevator pitch) and specifically how I wanted to adapt the screening tool for my research - I kept it short and was offered a business card from the connection instantly afterwards.

I followed up with actions via email, I re-introduced myself, where we met, the reason for reaching out and how I intend to action my original pitch.

Long story short . . . . . a new project is in the pipeline and it took me less than 5 minutes in total to make the connection.

Save yourself and your potential connections the small talk by setting intentions for your networking and walk away with opportunities, NOT just linked-in connections.

First of all, I just want to say a massive thank you to Goodrays but also an even bigger SORRY to them too because these fantastically designed Goodrays CBD drinks and gummies have been sitting gathering dust waiting for me to find the time to crack them open and review them. Goodrays have honestly been absolute stars about it and had the patience of 10 million saints. So, thank you guys you…

According to studies, Cannabidiol, seems to be extracted from the cannabis or hemp plant, has been promoted as the latest miracle cure for everything from aches and pains to anxiety and sleep disorders. Give some time to unleash these medical potentials TODAY!!! 

CBD seems to be used over the counter in a range of ways that is not supported by the science. It seems that there is still much we don't know. But aggressive marketing, hype, and word of mouth have made CBD like a drug version of the emperor's new clothes. Everyone says it works, but lab studies suggest that it's really not what people think.

The best course of action, might possibly be to wait as the body of research nurtures and the potential legality and regulations around CBD are streamlined before trying CBD oil to manage a health condition. This is a sponsored post. Check disclaimer on profile and landing page.

Whenever the word “cannabis” or “marijuana” is heard, a person can think only about the two purposes: getting stoned and the medical uses. However, there are various other plethora facts about cannabis that are lost or less known among the common people. For example, cannabidiol or CBD, the second most common cannabinoid in cannabis, has a lot of medicinal properties and doesn’t let you get irresponsibly high. Moreover, it is also the only one of the hundreds of cannabinoids found after years of research on the marijuana plants; the first one is still the THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, which is responsible for the psychoactive effects of weed. Moreover, CBD, derived from marijuana plants that have less than 0.3% THC content, is considered legal on a federal level.

There are many other facts about CBD that most people overlook; thus, we have described here five lesser-known useful facts about CBD to give you reign supreme on your cannabis knowledge.
