CBD often gets mixed up with THC, which is another cannabinoid found in cannabis.
CBD and THC are the two most abundant compounds found in cannabis. Yet, they have fundamentally different properties and benefits. THC, an intoxicating and illegal substance, is responsible for causing marijuana users to get “high.” Unlike THC, CBD does not cause a high. CBD is non-psychoactive because it does not act on the same pathways as THC. A 2011 review published in Current Drug Safety concludes that CBD “does not interfere with several psychomotor and psychological functions.”
While CBD can be completely separated from THC and CBD cannot get you “high,”
there is still a lot of stigma as many people tend to mistake the two compounds. Just
know this. It is impossible to get “high” by smoking or ingesting CBD extracted
from industrial hemp plants, as they only have miniscule traces of THC (<0.3%).

Our body’s endocannabinoid system was found to be directly involved in the
processes that keep our bodies balanced day to day, including: appetite, pain
sensation, mood, memory, immune system functions, and inflammation control.
Essentially, the system helps to manage homeostasis, balancing our body’s natural
conditions. This system is made up of receptors that are located in the brain and
nervous systems throughout the body.The body creates its own cannabinoids, called
endocannabinoids, to help support this regulatorysystem. CBD supplements these naturally created endocannabinoids to keep the receptors working at optimal capacity. Similar to how we use vitamin C to kick start our immune system, CBD acts as a
kick starter to help the functions of the body’s central regulatory system.
