Researchers have discovered that cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is present in a plant called Trema micrantha blume which is found in Brazil. CBD is one of the main active compounds in cannabis, a substance which is becoming increasingly popular for its medical benefits. The discovery of CBD in a non-cannabis plant could lead to the development of a new, legal source of the compound.
A team of scientists from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro have discovered that the fruits and flowers of the Trema micrantha blume plant contain CBD, but not THC, the compound which causes users to feel high. This means that the plant could be used to produce CBD without facing the legal and regulatory hurdles associated with cannabis. The discovery could lead to the development of a new, cheaper and simpler source of CBD.
CBD is becoming increasingly popular as a medical treatment for conditions such as epilepsy, chronic pain and anxiety. Its effectiveness as a treatment is still being researched, but some people have reported positive results. The discovery of a new source of CBD could make the compound more widely available to those who might benefit from its medical properties.
The global market for CBD was estimated to be worth almost $5 billion in 2019, with projections that it will grow to more than $47 billion by 2028. The market is being driven by the increasing use of CBD for health and wellness purposes. The discovery of a new source of CBD could help to meet this growing demand and make the compound more accessible to people around the world.
The discovery of CBD in the Trema micrantha blume plant could be a game-changer for the CBD industry. The new source of the compound could make it more widely available and cheaper to produce. As research into the medical benefits of CBD continues, the discovery of a new source of the compound could help to improve the lives of people around the world who suffer from conditions such as chronic pain, epilepsy and anxiety.
