Your CBD Timeline: Where It All Began

October 21, 2021 by Maya

While it may seem like CBD is a new product, the reality is it’s been around for a lot longer than many people realise. Whether you’re new to CBD or you’re curious about where this supplement originated, this is your CBD timeline, from its first recorded use to what we know of it today.

A centuries-old remedy

The use of CBD is rumoured to have been used in ancient times, with recorded cases dating back to 2727 BC in China, when Emperor Sheng Neng used cannabis-based tea to deal with different ailments such as malaria, gout and poor memory.

University tests

In 1940, British chemist Robert S. Cahn discovered part of the chemical structure of the cannabinoid CBN, short for cannabinol, and later on that year discovered the complete structure. Then, in 1942, American chemist Roger Adams successfully isolated the first-known CBD cannabinoid, as well as THC later on in his career.

A non-psychoactive compound

In 1963, research into this exciting new compound continued and Dr Raphael Mechoulam made an important discovery that highlighted the stereochemistry of CBD. The following year, he also discovered the stereochemistry of THC and concluded that CBD was, in fact, non-psychoactive while THC induced psychoactive effects.

Benefits for epilepsy sufferers

Mechoulam continued his research and in 1978, he and his team found that there were potential benefits for CBD in the treatment of epilepsy. His study saw 300mg of CBD administered to eight participants daily for four months, after which they concluded that half of the participants stopped having epileptic seizures all together and others saw a definitive decrease in their symptoms.

Pain-relieving qualities

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, more studies found that CBD products offered potential benefits for pain relief in sufferers, and it’s one of the reasons why CBD has become so popular today. The likes of Vitabiotics CBD drops are easy to take each day and can help to reduce pain and inflammation, for everything from joint pain to IBD.

A legal substance

Today, CBD is safe and legal to consume in the UK, and it offers potential advantages for a wealth of different people, from those suffering with MS and epilepsy to arthritis, anxiety and sleep disorders. It’s something that you can easily add into your routine every day and there are various ways to take it, from topical treatments to edibles.

Final thoughts

CBD has been a major highlight of the wellness world over the last few years, and new brands are cropping up all the time. But in an industry such as this, quality and reputation are key. Make sure you’re doing plenty of research into the products you’re using and ensure that you have confirmation from your GP that CBD is safe for you to integrate into your routine. CBD isolate is an easy product to use and can either be added to food and drinks or taken sublingually, but there are also gummies, vaping liquids and topical treatments which all provide a dose of this versatile compound.
