The skinny on CBD
It seems like everyone I know is taking CDB for something (insomnia, pain, anxiety, etc.) but what exactly is it and does it really work? And why is it so popular?
CBD stands for cannabidiol and it is one of over 100 chemicals (called cannabinoids) that are extracted from the cannabis plant. Hemp and marijuana are different types of cannabis. Marijuana causes a “high” because it contains a lot of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) but hemp has more CBD and very little THC. Most CBD you can buy comes from the hemp plant and is legal (in most US states) as long as it contains less that 0.3 percent THC.
