What is CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a compound — a phytocannabinoid which, without getting too scientific, is a molecule that’s created by cannabis plants or cannabis sativa.
THC, the main psychoactive cannabinoid that is usually found in cannabis that gives you the “high” feeling that we all link marijuana to, is actually removed from CBD in the process of production. This means that CBD does not get you high.
CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, and then distilling it with a carrier oil like hemp seed oil or coconut oil.
