Is cannabidiol right for me?

CBD, which is short for cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in the cannabis sativa plant that works in conjunction with your Endocannabinoid system (ECS). It’s a naturally occurring substance that is used in products like sublingual tinctures, topicals, and edibles that may provide therapeutic relief. Unlike its cousin delta-9 THC, CBD is non-psychoactive.

The ECS is a biological system that is responsible for regulating and balancing many processes in the body, including immune response, communication between cells, metabolism, memory, and more.

By stimulating the Endocannabinoid system, CBD promotes homeostasis in the body as well as potentially reducing pain sensations and decreasing inflammation. More specifically cannabis compounds like CBD, THC, other phytocannabinoids, terpenes, phenols, and natural lipids show promise at relieving ailments like stress, anxiety, and sleeplessness on top of inflammation.
