Cannabidiol (CBD) is often covered in the media, and you may see it touted as an add-in booster to your post-workout smoothie or morning coffee. You can even buy a CBD-infused sports bra. But what exactly is CBD? And why is it so popular?
DM经常被媒体报道，您可能会看到它被吹捧为锻炼后冰沙或早晨咖啡的附加助推器。你甚至可以买到注入 CBD 的运动文胸。但究竟什么是 CBD？为什么它如此受欢迎？
How is cannabidiol different from marijuana, cannabis, and hemp?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis (marijuana). While CBD is an essential component of medical marijuana, it is derived directly from the hemp plant, a cousin of marijuana, or manufactured in a laboratory. One of hundreds of components in marijuana, CBD does not cause a high by itself.
DM是第二普遍的活性成分。虽然 CBD 是医用DM的重要组成部分，但它直接来自DM的表亲DM植物，或在实验室中制造。CBD 是DM中数百种成分之一，它本身不会引起兴奋。
According to a report from the World Health Organization, "In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential…. To date, there is no evidence of public health related problems associated with the use of pure CBD." A recent study in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology concluded that "acute CBD alone is unlikely to significantly impair daily functioning or workplace performance."
根据世界卫生组织的一份报告，“在人类中，CBD 没有表现出任何滥用或依赖可能性的影响......迄今为止，没有证据表明与使用纯 CBD 相关的公共卫生相关问题。《神经精神药理学》杂志上最近的一项研究得出结论，“单独的急性CBD不太可能严重损害日常功能或工作场所的表现。
Is cannabidiol legal?
CBD is readily obtainable in most parts of the United States, though its exact legal status has been in flux. All 50 states have laws legalizing CBD with varying degrees of restriction. In December 2015, the FDA eased the regulatory requirements to allow researchers to conduct CBD trials. In 2018, the Farm Bill made hemp legal in the United States, making it virtually impossible to keep CBD illegal — that would be like making oranges legal, but keeping orange juice illegal.
CBD 在美国大部分地区都很容易获得，尽管其确切的法律地位一直在变化。所有 50 个州都有法律将 CBD 合法化，但有不同程度的限制。2015 年 12 月，FDA 放宽了监管要求，允许研究人员进行 CBD 试验。2018 年，农业法案使DM在美国合法化，几乎不可能将 CBD 定为非法——这就像让橙子合法，但让橙汁保持非法。
