Question: What is CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the most naturally abundant compounds found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) which is the compound that produces a “high” effect, CBD is strictly for the health and wellness benefits of the hemp and cannabis plants. While CBD does not make you high, many users report positive results when using CBD products. The exact experience may vary from person to person.

Question: What Can CBD Be Used For?

Although CBD is not regulated or approved by the FDA, anecdotally, many people are using CBD successfully in their own lives to help treat an array of health conditions. These conditions range from treating inflammation, pain relief, anxiety relief, and more restful sleep among many others. The main objective of CBD is to work directly with your endocannabinoid system by binding to our CB1 and CB2 receptors. Because of this, CBD is able to maintain homeostasis within the body helping us feel happier and healthier.

Question: Will I Fail a Drug Test?
