Use of CBD to treat Asthma

[jimjamdong]

Hi there,

I've recently been looking into the current research into using CBD as a form of medication to treat asthma and was wondering if anybody had experience with this?

From what I've read it sounds revolutionary and am willing to give it a try.

Excuse my ignorance but what is CBD

Do you mean CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy)?

Sorry, CBD is Cannabidol. It is found in our bodies naturally and in the marijuana plant. It is not the psychoactive substance but the medical property of the plant that the US has been using for multiple treatments and the UK has since made legal and can be taken in the form of vapourisers. It is said to bind with receptors in our lungs to reduce inflammation and is said to be just as effective as a salbutamol inhaler.
