You are quietly strolling through your town, same store windows, cocktail hour in the center, two more steps and then you end up on a street where a new commercial outlet is opening. So far nothing strange, stores come and go, but this one is more “peculiar” than usual.

In contrast to the many others along the downtown streets, this one is really greener and has strange leaves that, surely, you have recognized given all the articles and news reports about marijuana and the struggles for its legalization.

Just as surely you will then have heard about a great product like light weed, perhaps from your acquaintances, on the news or by searching the web, but why has a business like this managed to establish itself so “presently” in the Italian and foreign markets? 

One of the main reasons, in addition to its safety in terms of both health and criminal record, is that it is always a part of the business concerning relaxation and personal well-being. Light weed, legal weed or CBD, call it what you like, is indeed easily juxtaposed with all the other more “traditional” methods such as organic food, relaxing music, herbal teas, yoga, meditation, natural cosmetics, and you name it!

But what exactly is CBD and why should it be better than the much “feared” THC? First of all, it should be said that CBD is basically cannabidiol, which is already present in itself within cannabis plants, while THC, or Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the psychoactive principle with psychotropic effects on reality perception and memory.

CBD Light weed is thus the basis of this whole equation since, while it keeps the mind clear, it still manages to give a pleasant feeling of relaxation by loosening all the muscles in the body and loosening the nerves. The slight sensation of “intoxication” is then given by an insignificant percentage of THC, never exceeding 0.5 percent, making this product perfectly legal, thus saleable and, of course, consumable.

Moreover, it should not be forgotten that, precisely because it is a natural, plant-based product, it can be taken by vegetarians, celiacs, vegans and those with certain food intolerances. Of course, it is always best to keep it away from pregnant or lactating women in the same way as those who suffer from low blood pressure or already take anti-anxiety drugs (the effect here would be less if not zero).

But back to the wellness question! Light weed is a genuine natural remedy against a great number of serious or mild “ailments.” Insomnia, nervousness, lack of appetite, anxiety, migraine, various pains such as back pain, nausea, and so on.

It is so mild that its “parallel” products, such as CBD oil or cannabis light seeds, can even be used both in cooking (as bases for recipes and condiments) and in cosmetics (beauty masks, ointments and various creams).

A product that, wanting to make a bold comparison, thus becomes more like a Swiss Army knife in its multiple uses and practicality!
