"CBD can further enhance the feeling of mental alertness produced by caffeine by interacting with some of the same neurotransmitters responsible for carrying out the effects.
Mental alertness is controlled by a few key neurotransmitters in the brain. One of the most important is adenosine.
As more adenosine builds up, our neurons become progressively slower at sending messages. This makes us feel slow and tired. It’s designed to help us wind down to fall asleep at night.
Caffeine blocks the effects of adenosine by attaching to the receptors itself — thereby preventing adenosine from doing its job — keeping us awake when we would otherwise feel tired.
CBD offers many of its own benefits through its interaction with adenosine, but the interaction is much more complex than it is with caffeine — it’s considered a modulator of adenosine. This means that CBD appears to work by improving the efficiency of the adenosine receptors directly].
Other effects of CBD may come through its interaction with serotonin — often considered the “happy” neurotransmitter. Increased serotonin activity leads to a greater sense of well-being and motivation."
