CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. It is one of the many cannabinoids present in cannabis, but unlike its counterpart THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not have psychoactive effects or cause a “high” feeling.
CBD is extracted from the hemp variety of the cannabis plant, which contains high levels of CBD and low levels of THC. It is then typically processed into various forms such as oils, tinctures, capsules, topicals, and edibles for human and pet consumption.
CBD is often used for its potential therapeutic properties, and it has gained popularity for its reported benefits in promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety and stress, supporting joint health, managing pain and inflammation, aiding in sleep, and supporting overall well-being.
