What Is CBD

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis flower, a plant with a rich history believed to have medicinal benefits going back thousands of years. Today the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested by scientists and doctors around the world. A safe, non-addictive substance, CBD is one of more than a hundred “phytocannabinoids,” which are unique to cannabis and shows promise to be a powerful medicinal plant.

CBD is closely related to another important medicinally active phytocannabinoid: tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that causes the high that cannabis is famous for. CBD and THC are components of cannabis that have been most studied by scientists. Both CBD and THC are believed to have significant therapeutic attributes. But unlike THC, CBD does not make a person feel high or intoxicated. 

CBD can actually lessen the psychoactive effects of THC, depending on how much of each compound is consumed. Many people want the health benefits of cannabis without the high. CBD is a great way to try the possible benefits of cannabis without the stigma or high of THC, and you can try it in so many different ways!
