After healthcare officials in the UK
analyzed claims on cannabidiol’s benefits and effectiveness, they
have officially classified CBD as medicine. The Medicines &
Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) dissected several
reports that were made by manufacturing companies claiming its
medicinal benefits it offers for patients.
The director of inspection and
enforcement at the MHRA, Gerald Heddel, explained, “The change
really came about with us offering an opinion that CBD is in fact a
medicine, and that opinion was based on the fact that we noted that
people were making some quite stark claims about serious diseases
that could be treated with cannabidiol.”
Unline THC, the cannabidiol component
found in marijuana is not psychoactive and withholds various medical
properties, such as: anticonvulsant, anti-oxidant, anti-tumoral,
antipsychotic, and anti-inflammatory. These properties have been
shown to treat conditions like Chron’s disease, Parkinson’s
disease, ALS, and epilepsy.
The interesting part is that a few
months prior to accepting hemp oil as a medicinal ingredient, the
MHRA was sending cease and desist letters to cannabidiol produces
across the UK. Their agency released a statement that stated:
“The MHRA has
now completed its review and has considered all information available
to it relating to Cannabidiol (CBD) and having taken into account all
the specific advice and evidence, it has come to an opinion that
products containing Cannabidiol will satisfy the second limb of the
definition of a ‘medicinal product’ because it may be used by or
administered to human being either with a view to restoring,
correcting or modifying physiological functions by exerting a
pharmacological, immunological or metabolic action, or to making a
medical diagnosis.”
With this new classification of
cannabidiol, this could be a foreshadow of what’s to come in UK; a
full medical marijuana industry. This is great news for advocates all
around the world. It further strengthens the argument towards
widespread access to this amazing natural healing power.
It’s a powerful, natural alternative
to traditional medicines that Big Pharma is scared of. They don’t
want their users to understand there’s a medicine out there that
actually does treat your underlying condition, instead of just
masking it like most NSAID pain medications. If you have a serious
condition and are looking for a more powerful medicine, cannabidiol
might be a wonderful option for you to try. Do your research and find
out if it’s right for you. It’s not to be abused, but if you add
hemp oil to your daily regimen, you should start to see significant
benefits to your overall health
