Wellness

We hear a lot about the importance of health and how to best live a healthy life. On daytime talk shows, in opinion pieces and ads — everyone wants us to strive for bodies, minds, and souls that stay in great shape for as long as possible. To achieve this, we’re often told to avoid one thing but immerse ourselves in another, until the next wellness trend ousts what we believed to be “healthy.” When you’re trying to figure out how to manage your health, all the (mis)information can be overwhelming.

And the effects of that are clear: Despite everything we think we know, chronic disease rates continue to rise. In just over three decades, the global prevalence of diabetes among adults nearly doubled. Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of death worldwide. While there’s no cure-all for what ails us, there’s a growing respect among the medical and scientific communities for a wide-ranging, cardiovascular disease treatment option: cannabis.

According to the National Institutes of Health, humans have looked to cannabis for thousands of years to treat a variety of health conditions. Today, researchers are still discovering the myriad ways we can benefit from every part of the cannabis plant, from preventing seizures with CBD oil to easing nerve pain with THC.

cannabisMD aims to provide you with the health information you need to know, backed by extensive research on CBD and cannabis and expert interviews, in an interesting, easy-to-understand way. We want to demystify the cannabis plant — its strains and chemical compounds, and their medical potential — and empower you to make well-informed choices about your health. Our goal is to be a trustworthy resource for all things cannabis and health, whether you’re skeptical newcomer or a seasoned CBD user.
