no one ever thought to CBD?

Flip! wrote:hi guys,
I take this opportunity to wish you a happy new year!

in the past I have been interested to strains called medical cannabis, the famous CBD-rich (for example see http://cbd-crew.org/ ), but I had never looked for information on how they were acting in the brain (I am not biochemist).

for those who do not know, the CBD is a non-psychoactive substance contained in cannabis. see http://www.leafscience.com/2014/02/23/5-must-know-facts-cannabidiol-cbd/

After a quick search I found these articles about 5HT1A autoreceptors:

so...CBD could be useful for those who have PSSD?

Recently a company in Switzerland is working on products CBD-rich ( http://cannaliz.ch/ ), for now make oils, cosmetics, dab wax and eliquids for electronic cigarettes. I'd be interested to eliquids and probably I will try to buy them these days. They market these products only in Switzerland, do not send abroad.
But there are other companies who market worldwide (for example see http://www.deltaliquids.com/ or write cbd eliquids in google)

what do you think?

greetings

The article on CB1 antagonists.
So I can deduce that THC is a CB1 agonist?
So marijuana is bad for PSSD and fertility/penile erections, right?
And the CBD?

I want to see if I can finish the bottle that I bought, or is it better not.

Maybe in the future I'll try to buy a CB1 antagonist you say in your article, now I want resensitize 5HT1A receptors with berberine + icariin, which they failed to do so far, perhaps because of the THC?

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of berberine and evodiamine on serotonin transporter (5-HTT) expression and then test how allelic variations previously identified in the promoter region could modulate that effect in the serotonergic neuronal cell line RN46A. Both berberine and evodiamine, alone and in combination, increased 5-HTT mRNA and protein expression significantly across the various alleles. When tested against the S, XS(11), L(G), L(A), XL(17), and XL(18) alleles, respectively, 100 μM berberine increased 5-HTT promoter activities by 67%, 128.7%, 106.9%, 100.4%, 26.2% and 82%, 2 μM evodiamine increased 5-HTT promoter activities by 216.7%, 81.6%, 305.6%, 181.5%, 175.3% and 102.2%. Berberine and evodiamine increased 5-HTT promoter activity differently depending on the genetic variation of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism. This study has provided a convincing example of how herbal compounds influence the expression of one of the most intensively studied psychiatric candidate genes, the serotonin transporter.
