CBD, next to THC, is the second most popular hemp-derived compound. We get CBD by extracting it from hemp and cannabis plants, the same goes for THC, but THC and CBD differ significantly, even though they are obtained by the same methods and from the same plants.

Namely, THC is the compound that provides users with an intense state of being “high,” whereas CBD gives a much more mild effect. CBD comes in an incredible array of products, and you can use it in its oil form as well, e.g., Nordic Oil CBD, and in other forms such as tinctures, gummies, tea, etc.

But regardless of which form of CBD you opt for, you’ll get the same effects on your body and mind from CBD. Though CBD and THC differ only in a handful of atomic bonds, their effects are far more different after consumption. Now, let’s see why CBD is growing in popularity and its potential health benefits.      

List of the primary potential health benefits and reasons why more and more people use CBD
Here’s a list of the top three potential health benefits of CBD responsible for its rapid expansion on the market:

  1. Covid-19 prevention and health-issue alleviation

According to some studies, CBD can help prevent the Covid-19 virus after several experiments on animals. Besides Covid-19 prevention, numerous researches have signaled that CBD can help alleviate pain, inflammation, depression, and anxiety. Numerous satisfied CBD users have reported sleep improvement and increased appetite in anorexia cases. Read below to see how CBD can evoke such health-issue alleviations. 

  1. Lesser intensity than THC 

As mentioned in the introduction, THC and CBD chemically differ only in a handful of atomic bonds, but their effects on the human body are far more different. THC is much more potent than CBD and can create a long-lasting state of “high,” which can sometimes even lead to paranoia. On the other hand, CBD is much milder, and you shouldn’t expect any harmful side effects from its consumption.   

  1. Numerous different products

The variety of products laced with CBD you can choose from is wide. If you prefer inhaling, you can choose to vape CBD. On the other hand, if you don’t like the process of inhaling, you can choose between CBD tinctures, CBD oil, and CBD gummies. Tinctures are consumed by placing a few drops of liquid from the tincture under the tongue and waiting for the effects to kick in. As the name suggests, CBD gummies are like gummy bears that you consume like any other candy. They’re convenient for consumption, and you can carry them around in your pocket.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
