How Does CBD Interact with Your Brain?

Aug 1, 2023

Cannabidiol, more commonly known as CBD, is gaining notoriety in the world of health and wellness due to its many potential therapeutic benefits. But how does it work in your brain? In this article, we’ll delve into the research so far to gain a better understanding of how CBD works in the brain.

The endocannabinoid system or ECS is a complex biological network which includes cannabinoids and their receptors. It’s found throughout the human body, including in the brain and nervous system. These receptors are integral for vascular, immune, and neurological activities. Cannabinoids, including those present in cannabis, are known to interact with the ECS to promote various physiological processes, including pain regulation and memory consolidation.

One of the main ways in which CBD interacts with the brain is by targeting specific types of receptors within it. Two of the most important are CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are found in the areas of the brain responsible for pain management, emotion regulation, and memory storage.

Research has found that by targeting these receptors, CBD may be able to cause a variety of beneficial changes in the brain. One study associated CBD with reduced anxiety and improved cognition. It also noted that the cannabinoid was able to modulate the actions of serotonin, a neurotransmitter essential for regulating mood and other important brain activities.

Another study from the British Journal of Pharmacology suggested that CBD may be able to protect against some of the cell death caused by alcohol and opioids, though more research is needed. It’s also been associated with improved sleep quality.

Though there’s still a long way to go in terms of understanding CBD’s full potential, one thing’s for sure: it appears to interact with the brain in many beneficial ways. Its ability to regulate the ECS could be key in treating a range of neurological disorders, though more human clinical trials are necessary to truly understand its power.

Finding the right CBD product can be tricky, though, as some products are of better quality than others. It’s essential to do your homework by researching the brand and product reviews before purchasing. Here at Proper Canna we use only top quality hemp from a farm right here in the front range of CO and our products go through rigorous third party testing to ensure you are getting only the best products on the market.

Though the exact way in which CBD works in the brain is still being studied, it appears to interact with the ECS in a number of beneficial ways. By targeting specific receptors, it can promote the production of serotonin, reducing anxiety and improving cognition and sleep quality. It can also potentially protect against some of the cell death caused by alcohol and opioids. With the right product, CBD may be an effective way to improve your overall brain health.

The Proper Canna Naturals team is dedicated to our customers first and foremost. With that comes a constant commitment to developing and providing the highest quality products on the market. We are constantly updating and improving our internal processes from farm to bottle, in order to bring you the most natural, beneficial and cost effective USDA certified organic CBD products anywhere.

My husband suffers from severe leg cramps. And not restless leg syndrome. I stoped to talk to Nikki at HOPE LIVES! I was tell her about my husbands horrible leg cramps. She asked me if he would use PROPER CANNA NATURALS? The one Ms. Nikki suggested was a cream the name is Rocky Mountain chill. It’s a muscle gel. I brought it home he looked at it two or three days tried it and almost instantly it took his cramps away. He spent two days with no leg cramps whatsoever using that cream. We ran out of the sample I have ordered the big bottle and I can’t wait for it to get here. It was hard to imagine that some thing all natural could do what it did for him and he feel better and get sleep. Not only him but me because he was not up and down all night . Thank you Nikki for the recommendation. It’s the best. I will be looking into their other products. Sincerely Mikie

I love my monthly subscription to Proper Canna Naturals! The soft gels are part of my daily routine and the Rocky Mountain Chill feels good on a sore back. All of their products are made with Organic Colorado hemp and lots of love 🥰

I recently switched from another big box brand of CBD oil to Proper Canna. Within a few weeks I knew I had made a really great decision. My back use to hurt every day of the week. I have about 1-2 days a month after heavy exercise now that I will get moderate pain. The customer service is stellar and the product ships to your home very quickly. I love the packaging and supporting a small business, all while feeling better inside and out. I do have to rave about the Rocky Mountain Chill Gel. It can kick a headache is 10 minutes! My husband and I both absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Proper Canna to anyone

I stopped by this last Friday to try one of their CBD tinctures. Justin was AMAZING! We talked about the different products, and I ended up getting a bundle with the Rocky Mountain Freeze lotion. WOW I am very impressed with the quality of both. Better then other brands I have tried! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Support Fort Collins local!

Tried a few of their products, and am really impressed at the quality! The dreamsicle tincture has really helped my sleep quality, which helps with my overall wellness. Met the owner, Dan, and such a stand up guy too! You can tell he is so passionate about his products, and after trying them myself, I can see why! Would highly recommend Proper Canna Naturals!!

As an avid proponent of grass roots businesses that do it right. Not only have I tried most of the products Proper Canna produces but I have incorporated most of their products into my lifestyle, permanently. The muscle gel has come through for me when my body aches after an intense yoga session or a long bike ride and if I’m cramping. The tincture supports my overall well being and keeps me focused and on point.

I use the cooling muscle gel and love it! As a triathlete there are days that every inch of my body aches and the cooling muscle gel helps tremendously with recovery. I’ve tried other products and this is by far the best!
