CBD, otherwise known as cannabidiol, is a natural chemical compound that comes from the hemp plant. It is one of over 85 compounds found in hemp, known as cannabinoids. However, CBD is not a psychotropic cannabinoid like THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, found in marijuana; CBD does not produce intoxication or euphoria.



In plain terms, CBD will not get you high; it works for natural pain-relief,anti-inflammatory and therapeutic purposes. Cannabinoids have their effect mainly by interacting with receptors in your brain and body. THC reacts with a specific receptor of which CBD has very little to no impact. New studies are providing mounting evidence that CBD reacts to other receptors in the brain and body contributing to therapeutic effects.
