Description
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of several naturally-occurring cannabinoids that can be extracted from the cannabis, or hemp, plant.
Most people associate cannabis with being “high” — the change in sensory perception that can occur after smoking or eating cannabis. However, CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that cannot and does not cause you to feel high.
Instead, CBD is linked to a range of potential effects and benefits, including pain relief, reduced levels of anxiety and improvements in certain health conditions.
In total, there are more than 80 identifiable cannabinoids that make up the cannabis and hemp plants. CBD is just one of them. There are also terpenes, flavonoids and other compounds that can be extracted from hemp.
Unlike THC, which is the cannabinoid that causes you to feel high, THC doesn’t have any major psychoactive effects. CBD is not listed under the Controlled Substances Act and is legal to use in the UK.
Over the last few years, an increasing amount of scientific research has taken place to look at the potential benefits of CBD.
