Thus it is hard for the [medical] campaigners to get support. However, this commentary will delineate the usefulness of the plant and how legislators are circling in on this debate.Cannabidiol (CBD), or pure hemp, is being regarded as the “alternative to medical marijuana,” and this is due to its legality and multifaceted benefits. CBD is a non-psychoactive element of cannabis that has a wide array of therapeutic benefits that the plant itself, even when used for intoxication/meditation, possesses; it has been used for centuries in other countries as a healing agent.

CBD is derived from agricultural hemp and does not contain illegal amounts of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the primary intoxicant in Marijuana. This facet makes it popular with industrial hemp farmers and should be a welcome aspect to medicinal farmers and dispensaries.Hemp, which contains less than 0.3% THC, is grown for its fiber and is used for food, textiles, oils, to make rope, fiberboard, paper and manila hemp for envelopes.Considering all these benefits, there should be an abundance of support for the legalization of marijuana. We just need to spread the word of its value.
