CBD is non-intoxicating. Unlike THC, it does not produce a high, cravings, compulsive use or withdrawal effects. There are also no reported instances of drug abuse with CBD.

Evidence that CBD is Non-Intoxicating

CBD does not impair psychomotor performance

One showed that a dose of 320 μg/kg of oral CBD (about 22 mg) had no effect on tests of reaction time, standing steadiness, or motor coordination. Another showed that 150 μg/kg (about 10 mg) of smoked CBD had no effect on tests of standing steadiness, motor performance, or manual coordination.

CBD does not impair cognitive performance

A has looked at the effect of CBD on cognition. Oral CBD at a dose of 600 mg did not produce any impairment in tests of verbal memory, social recognition, or executive function in healthy volunteers. No effect on cognition has been observed in rats either.

CBD does not have sedative effects

Sedation has occasionally been reported with CBD in the past. However, recent placebo-controlled studies have indicated there is no significant effect on sedation. For example, a showed no differences in feelings of mental or physical sedation between a single 600 mg dose of oral CBD versus placebo.

CBD does not have abuse liability

I have seen no evidence whatsoever that CBD would be abused as a recreation drug. For example, a tested doses of oral CBD from 200 to 800 mg in frequent cannabis smokers (a group that surely would appreciate a high if there was one to be found). No CBD dose differentiated from placebo in measures like how high subjects felt or the street value they would assign to the drug.
