Category: Medical · Level: Intermediate

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis noted for its therapeutic properties.

Cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, is one of over a hundred cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not cause intoxication or a 'high' feeling, making it a popular choice for those seeking relief from various health issues without the psychoactive effects. Research has shown CBD to be beneficial in treating conditions such as anxiety, chronic pain, and epilepsy. As legislation evolves, CBD-rich products are increasingly being made available for medical and recreational use worldwide.
