CBD Basics
Cbd basics
CBD (cannabidiol) is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant, particularly in hemp. It’s one of over 100 cannabinoids present in cannabis, but unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t produce a “high.” Here’s a breakdown of the basics:
CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which helps regulate various functions like mood, sleep, appetite, and pain. The ECS has two main receptors: CB1 and CB2. While THC binds directly to these receptors, CBD influences them more indirectly, promoting balance and supporting the body’s natural processes.
