So I was just thinking about something I've never heard anyone talk about before.
What do we know about CBD's effects?: The main, concrete, no one can deny it actually does effect is seizure reduction in difficult to treat epilepsy cases. It's also known it blocks cannabinoid receptors from being activated to some extent.
Then we have the effects we're basically all sure exist but don't know for sure to what extent and more research needs to be done so we know more about treating diseases and recreational use. We're pretty sure it helps with anxiety, somehow can help with pain in one way or another (this is bordering on going down a tier because we really don't know how the hell it does any of this or how well it does it), it also aborts highs (this is important here) fairly well, or at the very least seems to reduce paranoia/anxiety caused by too much THC. There are even more speculational effects but they're not important here.
So we know THC isn't actually that great for pain most of the time, it works a lot better to combine with CBD. Another fairly well accepted feature of THC and CBD both are that it seems like for many people, a barely-above-borderline dose will sometimes help certain symptoms/cause different effects than when you take a very high dose.
CBD seems to help with pain when combined with THC, is it perhaps because it has the same effect as taking a borderline dose of THC? Only a small amount is making it to your receptors and maybe it's just basically like taking a very small dose of THC, which can sometimes prove better for pain than a large dose, at least as far as all the stuff I've read (and I've read a lot) goes.
Maybe CBD seems to work well for pain when combined with THC because it's maximizing THC's pain relief potential, rather than adding its own effects.
Completely random thought... just thought someone might be interested to talk about it. Otherwise ignore me I'm just thinking out loud.
