Cannabis has been used as an aid to treat pain and inflammation since ancient times. However, CBD was not isolated until the 1940s, and its properties were not studied at that time. It was not until the 1960s that researchers began to discover its benefits.
During this same decade, the rise of the hippie movement popularised marijuana use. This led to social rejection of any type of cannabis, whether it was psychotropic or not, and because of this hemp was relegated to the sidelines, giving a bad name to researchers who chose to study it.
The recent legalisation of this drug in some Western countries like the US and Canada has made it possible to distinguish hemp from marijuana. This has greatly benefited hemp, as well as its main cannabinoid, CBD. In recent years, many scientific researchers have chosen to study this cannabinoid which has many possibilities and properties.
