THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol is in a class of substances called cannabinoids and is the main psychoactive substance in cannabis.\u00a0 THC has been found to have several therapeutic applications such as treatment of mild to moderate pain, appetite loss, insomnia, depression and nausea.<\/p>\n
Recent pre-clinical trials conducted by the FDA<\/a> have suggested that THC-rich inhaled cannabis significantly reduces the onset of neuropathy (nerve pain\/degeneration of nerves) in patients who suffer from that condition.\u00a0 THC was also found to have potential benefits for the treatment of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder in studies recently conducted by International Association for Cannabinoid Medicine.\u00a0 The CB1 receptors in the brain that are stimulated by THC appear to play an important role in the ability to eliminate adverse memories, often at the core of PTSD.<\/p>\n CBD or Cannabidiol is another type of cannabinoid found in cannabis.\u00a0 Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive and does not contribute to a feeling of \u201cbeing high\u201d. \u00a0In fact, many patients report an alerting effect from CBD and thus care should be taken with consumption of high amounts of CBD near bedtime until you are familiar with your reaction.<\/p>\n CBD has also been found to have several therapeutic benefits.\u00a0 CBD has been found to provide relief from chronic pain due to muscle spasticity, muscle Recent research at Temple University <\/a>has suggested that in CBD may also be a strong preventative for the onset of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy, a side-effect of some of chemotherapy drugs.<\/p>\n From a general therapeutic perspective THC and CBD have important effects on one another when ingested together.\u00a0 When present along with THC, CBD prolongs the effects of THC-therapy by inhibiting the breakdown process of THC in our liver.\u00a0 If the THC breakdown is inhibited, its effects persist longer.\u00a0 When appreciable amounts of CBD (>4% CBD by weight for flowers) are ingested along with THC, the CBD may reduce the psychoactivity many patients would normally experience from the THC present.\u00a0 Exciting studies that are currently being conducted at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco are demonstrating that specific amounts of THC and CBD injected into breast and brain tumors can eliminate those tumors completely, in 30 days.<\/p>\n To Find out more about Pure Analytics Cannabis Testing , visit the Services page on our website, www.pureanalytics.net\/services<\/a>.<\/p>\n Keep it Pure!<\/p>\n The Pure Analytics Team<\/p>\n As more and THC or Tetrahydrocannabinol is in a class of substances called cannabinoids and is the main psychoactive substance in cannabis.\u00a0 THC has been found to have several therapeutic applications such as treatment of mild to moderate pain, appetite loss, insomnia, depression and nausea.<\/p>\n
\nconvulsions and inflammation.\u00a0 This type of pain is often experienced by patients who suffer from Multiple Sclerosis, Fibromyalgia and Epilepsy.\u00a0 In addition to pain relief CBD has been shown to assist with general feelings of anxiety as well as cannabis-induced anxiety.<\/p>\n
\nmore federal funding for cannabis research becomes available we hope should see
\neven more exciting therapeutic applications of THC and CBD both individually
\nand together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
