What Is CBD?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis known for potential therapeutic benefits without producing a high.
CBD Explained
Cannabidiol (CBD) is the second most abundant cannabinoid in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce intoxicating effects. It interacts with the endocannabinoid system differently, primarily influencing CB2 receptors throughout the body. CBD has been studied for potential anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and pain-relief properties, though research is ongoing.
Why It Matters
CBD products are ideal for consumers seeking potential wellness benefits without intoxication. CBD can also moderate THC effects, making high-CBD strains popular with newer consumers.
