What is CBD anyway?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its counterpart THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn’t produce a “high” sensation. CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating several functions like mood, sleep, appetite, and pain sensation. Research suggests that CBD may offer potential therapeutic benefits, including alleviating anxiety, reducing inflammation, easing pain, and improving sleep quality, and today it’s available in various forms such as oils, capsules, edibles, topicals, and more, making it accessible for all types of users.
How is it legal?
CBD became legal under the 2018 Farm Bill, which removed hemp-derived products containing less than 0.3% THC from the list of federally controlled substances. This created a legal separation between “hemp” and “marijuana”, allowing for the production and sale of CBD products derived from hemp.
As long as CBD products comply with federal and state regulations regarding THC content and production methods, they are considered legal under the Farm Bill. However, individual states could have their own laws and regulations regarding the sale and use of CBD products, so it’s important to do a little bit of research on your own state at your time of purchase.
Does CBD get you high?
No, CBD does not produce a “high” sensation. Unlike Delta 9 THC (commonly known as THC), CBD is not psychoactive. It does not bind strongly with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain responsible for producing euphoria and altered perception.
Instead, CBD interacts with other receptors in the body’s endocannabinoid system, influencing various physiological processes without inducing intoxication. Users can experience potential therapeutic benefits of CBD without the mind-altering effects associated with THC.
