Being able to use cannabis medically is possibly one of the biggest breakthroughs this century. Cannabidiol, an active derivative of the hemp plant, can transform many lives without the unwanted effects of marijuana. Below are the key benefits of CBD.

## Items

### 1. [Alleviates Pain](https://listium.com/@lilig/53242/top-benefits-of-cannabidiol/0/alleviates-pain)

Item ID: `0`

- Notes:
  > Pain relief is the most common reason people shop for cannabidiol. According to the American Academy of Pain Medicine, pain affects approximately 100 million people in the US and is the most common cause of long-term disability in the country.
  > 
  > Relying on pain relievers all the time, especially strong narcotic analgesics can cause untoward side effects. The use of CBD reduces a person’s need for pharmacological treatments and is thus safer for long term use.

### 2. [Improves the Mood](https://listium.com/@lilig/53242/top-benefits-of-cannabidiol/1/improves-the-mood)

Item ID: `1`

- Notes: Anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorder in the US and affects 18.1% of the population or roughly 40 million adults. Anxiety disorders can be disabling to the point that hospital visits become more frequent and the person cannot perform activities of daily living efficiently. Mood disorders are often treated with SSRIs or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Serotonin is the neurotransmitter responsible for mood, happiness, and feelings of wellbeing. CBD creates a similar effect by acting on serotonin receptors to normalize serotonin levels, which in turn improves the mood.

### 3. [Prevents Neurological Disorders](https://listium.com/@lilig/53242/top-benefits-of-cannabidiol/2/prevents-neurological-disorders)

Item ID: `2`

- Notes: According to the Alzheimer’s Association, about 14 million Americans will have the illness by 2050. Numerous studies suggest that CBD can help protect the brain from dementia and Alzheimer’s as CBD helps generate new and healthy brain cells. CBD also reduces inflammation and prevent free radical damage in the brain.

### 4. [Reduces Risk for Drug Abuse](https://listium.com/@lilig/53242/top-benefits-of-cannabidiol/3/reduces-risk-for-drug-abuse)

Item ID: `3`

- Notes:
  > Those who are recovering from heroin abuse have shown to have reduced anxiety and drug cravings when treated with CBD. CBD also makes for a worthy alternative to opioids and phenobarbitals. CBD contains minuscule amounts of THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. The low dosage of THC means that CBD doesn’t cause a “high”.
