CB2 sources for those who cannot pay for CBD

As I mentioned in my previous post, CBD is a crucial part of the mathematics of health benefits when we use Cannabis, and i also mentioned the fact that the high demand for THC-rich genetics and low CBD has made the cannabis market (mainly recreational) deficient in herbs with real medicinal balance. It is not uncommon to see episodes of panic in overuse of genetics with high THC. And since unfortunately the cultivation of species rich in CBD is even rarer and difficult to find, what remains for us is to buy our own oil extractions with high CBD. However, as already mentioned, here we have the classic third world problem. In Brazil, a pure oil rich in CBD is extremely expensive, and artisanal oils, despite being a great solution, cannot guarantee their purity since they do not undergo laboratory tests.

Thinking about this problem, I ended up going deeper into the content that I reported in the previous post, about the CB1 and CB2 receivers, which are the main characters in this story. And I found that, like everything else in life, CBD is not the only activator of CB2 channels. Incidentally, there are several substances that can play this role. And that gave me an idea! What if, I did an extraction of cannabis oil that I have access to, like the THC-rich genetics and supplemented it with any of these natural substances rich in CB2 activators?
Well then. Researching, I discovered that the main substance with this mechanism is called " β-karyophylene ", or simply "Karyophylene". But after all, what is this? In summary, it is a common terpene in several essential oils, it is notable for its spicy flavor. And, look at that! Cannabis is not even the biggest source of this carophylene in nature! It has a range from 3.8 to 37.5% of β-karyophylene. While, for example, "Piper guineense" has up to 57% β-karyophylene. But, after all, what is the biggest source of Carophylene in nature and relatively easy to access? Well, friends. I present you the Copaiba Oil.

The essential oil of this tree in South America has up to 60% Caryophyllene highly efficient in activating CB2 receptors, this is practically twice as much as a pure CBD oil can offer. Am I saying it is better than CBD? No, not really! But what I can say is that a copaiba oil, even in countries far from Brazil, usually ends up being cheaper than the overpriced price of CBD (at least while we are still at the beginning of the wave of the substance's legality). But there are a thousand and one variants in this situation. For example, oil quality, origin, purity, potting, storage, and so on. But suppose that even in a situation of poor quality, this oil will have at least 20 to 30% of Caryophyllene, this is certainly better than a full spectrum oil from a plant without CBD. The advantages of using a CB2 activator have already been explained in the previous article, but as an example, I can say that I already had benefits including using a few drops of copaiba before smoking a joint and that completely changed my experience with the "high" feeling of thc exaggerated of the herb. There is a tendency of muscular, nervous motor agitation (and sometimes even micro myoclonus) when using a high dose of THC, this subliminal agitation can be completely balanced with the activation of CB2.

Extraction of Copaiba Oil:

Note about Copaíba Oil.

Recently, a large essential oils company ended up creating monstrous marketing on top of copaiba oil as a potential substitute for CBD, as I reported here, but for that they relied on absurd, inappropriate and probably unbalanced prices in terms of payment of the matter cousin. Copaiba oil is a vegetable raw material of great medicinal value and certainly exploited unfairly by larger companies. I believe that the oil can be found with a reliable purity right from the source if you look for the right dealers without needing to strengthen these multinational brands that devour slices of the planet disguised as nature-friendly companies.

I hope the text was useful and pleasant. They are complex themes and I try to best let fluids for a knowledge-absorbing reading. Thank you for your vote and your attention!
