What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is one of the most naturally abundant compounds found in the hemp plant. For reference, THC is also another naturally occurring compound, and it is the primary psychoactive compound in marijuana. Getting “high” is not what we are talking about here, though. This is a CBD-ONLY space.
