CBD, or cannabidiol is one of the most well-known compounds found in cannabis plants.
However, you may not realize that CBD is a hemp-derived compound unlike its psychoactive cousin known as THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol found in marijuana.
Although the two cannabis phyto-chemicals are related, they offer very different benefits to your body.
Since men over the age of 50 have specific health concerns, including cardiovascular function, energy, stamina, and of course libido, CBD is an ideal remedy.
CBD medications are known to improve overall quality of life for men over 50 years old by addressing a range of individual health concerns.
While there are many undocumented perks of adding cannabis compounds to your everyday health regimen, confirmed studies on cannabis have been limited.

Cannabis. When you are talking about marijuana or hemp, you can still say it is “cannabis.” Typically, this term is used casually to refer to a variety of plants and products derived from either marijuana or hemp. The word cannabis has finally started to break free of its criminal sounding status as people become more aware of the differences between the many types of cannabis plants. While some cannabis plants get you high (marijuana), and some do not (hemp) there are many times people use this umbrella term. Be sure to clarify what type of plants you are talking about if you hear someone say, “cannabis.”
Marijuana. This is a term that can be used interchangeably with cannabis and hemp. However, it tends to refer to a specific type of plant. Marijuana plants are in fact cannabis plants. But usually the term includes cannabis sativa species. These types of marijuana plants tend to have high amounts of THC and moderate to high amounts of CBD. Depending on the strain of marijuana, THC levels will vary.
Hemp. Industrial cannabis plants are commonly referred to as hemp. These fibrous, bushy cannabis plants contain trace amounts of THC (0.3 percent, or less), and are high in CBD content. Commercially, hemp provides oil and fiber used in textiles, and construction.
The Law: Recreational Vs. Medical
Recreational. The recreational marijuana market includes 11 states. Regardless of the state, regulations on marijuana use and cultivation remain illegal at the federal level.
Medicinal. Legalized marijuana use for medical purposes is available in 33 states. Users are required to have a medical marijuana license to purchase cannabis products in a dispensary. Federal restrictions apply, so you must pay in cash when shopping for medicine. Banks that are regulated FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation) cannot participate in exchanges with a dispensary due to the current regulations for marijuana.
Over-the-Counter & Prescription. There are other types of medicinal cannabis products besides those you can find in a dispensary. People who live in a state where marijuana use is illegal may still find cannabis-derived medicines as OTC remedies for anxiety, sleep, and pain. Prescriptions are also available including the hemp-derived medication EpidiloexⓇ for epilepsy.

Cannabis oil is one of the best ways to use cannabinoid compounds at home.
Today, you can find a range of cannabis oils for use in vaporizers, foods, and lotions but you may not realize just how easy it is to make your own cannabis oil at home for use in the bedroom.
