This is a response to 5 Positive Effects of CBD Oil.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the lesser-known branch of the cannabis sativaplant; its more famous sibling, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the active ingredient in pot that creates users’ “high.” With many states still choosing to make marijuana illegal, CBD has picked up traction as the legal medicinal choice. The main difference between THC and CBD is the psychoactive effects. While THC gives users a high, CBD binds differently to cannabinoid receptors the body naturally produces that don't create a high.

When people want the benefits of cannabis without the high, CBD is the perfect choice. CBD provides many benefits and comes in many forms to take. Some of the benefits of CBD include:

* Relieves pain

* Reduces nausea

* Eases depression

* Decreases seizures

* Helps insomnia

* Relieves PTSD

* Eases anxiety

CBD comes in the form of gummies, drinks, snacks, oils and more. One thing to be cautious about when choosing a CBD product is the quality of the CBD and how much THC can be present. While it does not always come back positive, a positive drug test is still possible when taking CBD.

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
