CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of at least 113 different cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD is the compound associated with such benefits as relaxation and pain relief. The other heavily researched compound is THC that is responsible for the psychoactive effects that creates the “high”. CBD does not get individuals high and only provides the benefits of the plant. CBD products have been made much more accessible due to the 2018 Farm Bill which allowed a new federal hemp regulatory system that facilitates cultivation, processing, and marketing hemp products.

Cannaboidol can only be contained in products with less than 0.3% THC. The amount of cannabidiol in these products isn’t always accurately reported or disclosed on the nutrition label.  Always do your research on the product and ingredients prior to making any purchase.
