WHAT IS CBD?
CBD (Cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in the resinous flower of cannabis, a plant with a rich history as a medicine going back thousands of years.
Unlike its cannabinoidal cousin THC, CBD is not psychoactive.
This means you won’t achieve the traditional “high” when ingesting CBD as you would with THC. Due to its fat-soluble structure, CBD is often ingested or applied in the form of oil, which is then mixed into foods, drinks, or creams.
