Wellness High: 5 Cannabis Cure-Alls (Without the THC)

By

If you know even a little bit about cannabis, you've probably heard these three magic letters: CBD.

You may even know a thing or two about cannabidiol, one of 85 active cannabinoids in the marijuana plant known for its anxiety- and inflammation-busting properties (it is also known to help with epileptic seizures and inhibit cancer cells). What's better, CBD has all the benefits of medical marijuana without the reality-altering effects of THC. In other words, not all weed is NSFW!


Here's a handful of our favorite CBD smokes and sweets available in the Bay Area.

Marijuana's reputation for affecting one's head is well known, but cannabis is also beneficial for our second brain: the gut. Patients who suffer from colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and Crohn's disease swear by CBD as one of the most effective treatments. Even if you're not in such dire straits, you may want to soothe some after-lunch rumbling while achieving a discreet midday calm without leaving your desk. We like the combination Oara provides with its CBD-rich probiotic chocolate wafers, made with 70 percent dark cacao and a 16:1 CBD:THC ratio. // Oara CBD Probiotic Chocolate Things ($30) atgetsava.com.
