CBD in Houston, Texas: Hemp-Derived and Farm Bill Compliant

When it comes to cannabis, the two substances most people know of are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is responsible for the “high” marijuana users experience, while CBD is the non-psychoactive compound that is touted for its medicinal benefits.

CBD products are all over the market, ranging from oils and edibles to CBD-infused clothing, to treat everything from cancer to Parkinson’s to schizophrenia to diabetes. But what exactly is CBD, what are its true benefits, and why is it so popular?

At OilWell CBD, we believe in a safe, natural path to wellness, and that starts with CBD. Our business was born of compassion, and that’s why we strive to provide the products our customers need to reach their wellness goals.

What is CBD?

CBD is the second-most prevalent compound in cannabis and an essential component of medical marijuana. Cannabis sativa includes both marijuana and hemp, and CBD can be derived from either one, as well as manufactured in a laboratory.

According to Harvard Medical School research published by Dr. Peter Grinspoon, MD, CBD is readily obtainable in most parts of the United States and exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. A recent study in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology concluded that “acute CBD alone is unlikely to significantly impair daily functioning or workplace performance.”

One of the unique aspects of CBD is that it produces no psychoactive effects. THC is the main psychoactive component, but low-potency THC and other cannabinoids can produce mild euphoria. CBD exhibits no effects that have an abuse or dependence potential and there’s no public health concerns associated with pure CBD.

As a result, CBD is legal and available in most of the US. All 50 states have laws regarding CBD and its restrictions. The Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018 legalized hemp, leading to fewer restrictions on hemp-derived CBD. All hemp-derived products were removed from the controlled substances list, making CBD legal if it comes from hemp and not marijuana.

How Does CBD Work?

Like other cannabinoids, CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors in the endocannabinoid system, a complex cell-signaling system that plays vital roles in the central nervous system and other systems.

The body has two cannabinoid receptors:

Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), a receptor that’s present virtually everywhere in the body and coordinates movement, emotions, pain, mood, cognition, memories, and more.

Cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2), a receptor that’s found in the immune system and controls inflammation and pain.

CBD is thought to stimulate the receptors to encourage the body to produce its own endocannabinoids.

Groundbreaking Medical Research: CBD’s Therapeutic Revolution

Harvard Medical School Research Findings

According to comprehensive research published by Harvard Medical School (2024), CBD has demonstrated significant therapeutic potential across multiple medical conditions. Dr. Peter Grinspoon’s research, published in Harvard Health Publishing, confirms that CBD is proving to be a helpful, relatively nontoxic option for managing anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain.

The Harvard research specifically identifies CBD’s effectiveness in treating childhood epilepsy syndromes, with studies showing CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures and, in some cases, stop them altogether. This led to FDA approval of Epidiolex, the first cannabis-derived medicine approved for these conditions.

Clinical Evidence for Anxiety and Mental Health

A comprehensive 2015 review published in Neurotherapeutics found strong evidence that CBD may help treat a range of anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Studies and clinical trials continue exploring the common report that CBD can reduce anxiety without the euphoric effects of THC that can increase feelings of anxiety and paranoia.

Pain Management and Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Research published in the European Journal of Pain suggests CBD could help lower pain and inflammation due to arthritis when applied to skin. Additional research identifies how CBD may inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain, which are traditionally difficult to treat. Animal studies have shown that CBD has pain-relieving effects due to interactions with the endocannabinoid, inflammatory, and nociceptive systems.

CBD Therapeutic Uses

Epilepsy and Seizures

One of CBD’s most recognized uses is for childhood epilepsy syndromes like Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome and Dravet Syndrome, two types of epileptic seizure disorders that don’t respond well to conventional antiseizure medication.

Numerous studies indicate that CBD can reduce the frequency and intensity of seizures. In some cases, it was shown to stop seizures entirely. The FDA since approved a cannabis-derived medication, Epidiolex, with CBD to treat these conditions.

Anxiety

Anxiety may be treatable with cannabis, but the euphoric effects of THC can have adverse effects that increase feelings of anxiety and paranoia. Because it’s not psychoactive, CBD can relieve the feelings of anxiety and may even offset the anxiety and paranoia of THC when combined.

Research into the effects of CBD on anxiety have demonstrated preclinical and clinical evidence that CBD can be effective at treating numerous anxiety types, including generalized anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Insomnia

Cannabis has a reputation for causing drowsiness and sedation, which may make it beneficial for insomnia and other sleep disorders. According to Harvard Medical School research, studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep and staying asleep, in part by helping address chronic pain and anxiety that contribute to poor sleep patterns.

On its own, CBD has been shown to address a number of sleep disorders, including insomnia, REM sleep behavior disorder, and excessive daytime sleepiness disorder.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can lead to poor quality of life and may be difficult to manage without opioids and other extreme treatments. CBD is often touted as a therapy for chronic pain, as seen with arthritis, fibromyalgia, and other conditions, but the results are mixed.

Animal studies have shown that CBD has pain-relieving effects due to interactions with the endocannabinoid, inflammatory, and nociceptive systems. While there isn’t sufficient human studies to prove this, CBD is a safe and non-psychoactive option with a low potential for abuse that’s a satisfying alternative to opioids for pain relief.

Addiction

Along with providing an alternative to opioid pain medications, CBD may have benefits for addressing addiction directly. Studies on human subjects suggest that CBD may be able to reduce cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, and animal models of addiction suggest that CBD may reduce cravings for alcohol, opiates, stimulants, and even cannabis.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is a debilitating disease in which the immune system degrades the protective covering of nerves, leading to widespread pain, vision loss, fatigue, and poor coordination. Cannabinoids have been identified as a possible treatment option for nerve pain, particularly with multiple sclerosis.

Research into CBD pain relief with multiple sclerosis and other conditions shows promising results, but more studies are needed.

Cancer

Cannabis has been widely used as a treatment for the side effects of cancer and cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy. Its possible appetite-stimulating effects and anti-emetic effects may be beneficial for treating the nausea, vomiting, and inappetence that are common in cancer patients undergoing treatment.

Research into CBD for cancer shows that it may be effective at reducing the unpleasant side effects of cancer and cancer treatments when combined with other therapies.

Heart Health

Preclinical studies show that CBD has several cardiovascular benefits, including reducing the blood pressure increases in response to stress. The issues with long-term stress and cardiovascular disease are well documented, and part of the concern is the increase in blood pressure under stress, which can induce myocardial ischemia, a condition when the blood flow to the heart muscle is partially or completely blocked by the buildup of plaque in a coronary artery.

Studies show that CBD can reduce resting blood pressure and the blood pressure increase in response to stress, which may make it beneficial for treating cardiovascular disorders and reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Diabetes

CBD may have benefits for diabetes that act in two ways. Testing on human cells shows that CBD may reduce the effects of high glucose levels on other cells in the body, which contributes to the complications of the disease. This demonstrates that CBD may have benefits for addressing plaque buildup in the arteries and diabetic complications.

In another study, patients with diabetes ceased insulin treatment and used either a placebo or CBD. The patients with CBD showed a decreased level of insulin resistance and an increased level of glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide, a hormone that ensures the release of insulin from digested food. This research indicates that CBD may be an appropriate natural treatment for diabetes that supports the body in regulating its own insulin hormone levels.

CBD Safety and Quality Assurance

According to Harvard Medical School research, side effects of CBD could include nausea, fatigue, and irritability. CBD can increase the level of blood thinning and other medicines in your blood by competing for the liver enzymes that break down these drugs. This interaction is particularly important if you are taking a blood thinner, an anti-epileptic, or an immunosuppressant medication.

All OilWell Cannabis CBD products undergo comprehensive third-party laboratory testing, including cannabinoid potency analysis, pesticide screening, heavy metal testing, microbial safety verification, and residual solvent analysis. Every product includes a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for complete transparency and quality assurance.
