What is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. It is one of over 100 known cannabinoids, which are compounds that interact with the body’s internal systems. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t cause a “high.”

CBD is commonly extracted from industrial hemp plants and used in oils, tinctures, capsules, topicals, and other wellness products. Its growing popularity comes from its potential to support a balanced lifestyle, naturally.

How CBD Works in the Body

CBD works by interacting with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a network of receptors found throughout the body. The ECS plays a key role in maintaining balance in several systems, including:

  • Sleep cycles
  • Mood regulation
  • Appetite and digestion
  • Immune response
  • Inflammation and discomfort

Rather than binding directly to receptors like some cannabinoids, CBD appears to influence the ECS indirectly, helping to support homeostasis (balance) in a more subtle way.

How CBD Differs from THC

One of the most common questions people ask is: “Will CBD get me high?” The short answer is: No.

Property CBD THC
Source Hemp plant Hemp or marijuana
Psychoactive? No Yes
Legality (U.S.) Legal under 0.3% THC Restricted in many states
Main Uses Wellness support Medical or recreational use

CBD offers the potential benefits of cannabis without the intoxicating effects of THC. That’s a major reason why it’s become a go-to wellness supplement for people of all backgrounds.

Potential Benefits of CBD

While research is still ongoing, CBD has been widely studied for its potential to support overall wellness. Users commonly report that CBD may help with:

  • Promoting relaxation and stress management
  • Supporting restful sleep
  • Encouraging a balanced mood
  • Reducing everyday inflammation
  • Soothing muscles and joints when applied topically
