The Truth About CBD

Cannabidiol, aka CBD, is extracted from hemp, which is a plant grown for industrial use. CBD is the second most prevalent active ingredient of cannabis. It is a major component, but it does not have any psychoactive effect and thus does not cause one to feel a “high” effect. The psychoactive property found in marijuana is due to the component delta-9 Teterahydrocannabinoid, also known as THC.

CBD is a holistic healing solution with a host of proposed benefits. It has become immensely popular due to growing interest because of its low side effect profile which may help many with acute or chronic conditions.
