What is CBD Oil?
CBD is a compound taken from hemp plants that does not include large amounts of THC, which is the psychoactive/pain killing element in marijuana. CBD, however, contains a natural analgesic as well as anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties.
Why CBD Oil is classified as a high risk industry
Acquiring banks categorize CBD oil as a high risk industry since it is derived from the hemp plant, even though it contains barely traceable amounts of THC, the psychoactive, pain-killing component of marijuana. Because the possession, sale and use of marijuana remains illegal by U.S. federal law, some acquiring banks are leery of offering payment processing solutions for such, despite the many health benefits of CBD.
What are the benefits of CBD?
While studies of the health benefits are ongoing, there is clear evidence that CBD oil is an effective salve with several ailments:
- Natural anti-inflammatory and pain killing element
- Effective in treating epileptic seizures
- Helps in the healing of acne scars and wrinkles
- Helps treating anxiety, depression and nausea
