What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid that occurs naturally in hemp. Hemp is a variant of the cannabis sativa plant that contains less than 0.3% THC by dry weight. 

CBD has gained widespread attention and use because it has potential therapeutic benefits for many different things, including anxiety, pain, and sleep support.  

What are the Benefits of CBD for Focus?

Several scientific studies suggest CBD may have therapeutic potential for focus.

A 2022 study out of the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba in Canada found that CBD exerted favorable effects on people with ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). The study concluded by saying that more clinical evidence on the use of cannabis for ADHD is needed. 

2020 research from scientists in Israel found that higher doses of medical cannabis, which is high in both CBD and THC, were correlated with a reduction in ADHD medication use. 

How Does CBD Work in the Body?

CBD works by interacting with your endocannabinoid system (ECS). The ECS is a receptor system responsible for maintaining mental and physical homeostasis, or balance. 

Your ECS regulates all of your vital functions, including the sleep-wake cycle, immune response, inflammatory response, and mood. 

By regulating your vital functions, the ECS works to maintain normal states of health for the mind and body. CBD may promote balance by interacting with the ECS and helping it to better perform its function. 

However, CBD doesn’t bind to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the ECS as most cannabinoids do. Instead, research suggests CBD promotes wellness by preventing the breakdown of your endocannabinoids, or internal cannabinoids. 

Research also suggests CBD may affect how neurotransmitters (such as serotonin) work in your brain, thereby promoting mental balance.
