Discovering other plants that contain CBD and CBD-like substances

Comparing natural and synthetic CBD

Without understanding the whole plant, it’s hard to get a proper picture of CBD. I love the idea of getting the entire story of the plant by, you guessed it, using the whole plant as medicine. It requires a special level of attunement and sensitivity to engage with cannabis in this way. When I say that the relationship to the plant spirit is part of the medicine, the general plant medicine community is in agreement. To better honor this relationship, the plant must be as close to its natural state as possible. And to clarify, my statement is not just limited to form but also applies to cultivation and use.

In this chapter, I explore the plant and plants (yes, I said plants, plural) containing CBD. I also walk you through the components and complements of the whole plant and their relationship to CBD. And finally, I introduce you to synthetic CBD.
