CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is a member of the large family of cannabinol compounds found in the marijuana plant. Research has demonstrated CBD’s remarkable capacity for treating a range of health conditions by impacting the functioning of your body’s Endocannabinoid System.

The cannabinoid, THC, is responsible for the “high” feelings that people feel when smoking cannabis. For a plant to be legally classified as hemp and therefore produce CBD, it must consist of less than 0.3% THC. A person should feel no feelings of euphoria when taking CBD.

The effects of CBD are as varied as the people who have taken it. Your body uses CBD in the way that it needs to most. For most, the absence of anxiety and reduction of stress are the biggest benefits of regular CBD supplementation.
