What is CBD really? CBD (short for cannabidiol) is a derivative of the cannabis plant. Don’t get scared, this doesn't mean you will get high. Cannabis contains more than eighty biologically active chemical compounds. The most commonly known compounds are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC is the component that produces the “high” associated with marijuana drug.However, CBD has been the hottest buzz word in Hollywood as it has shown to have potentially hold health benefits. Thus, it is important to highlight that THC and CBD are NOT the same. According to the FDA, it is currently legal to sell CBD products in all 50 states of the United States as well as market CBD by adding it to a food or labeling it as a dietary supplement. The FDA is currently continuing to research CBD and regulations pertaining to CBD supplements as well as, CBD use in other forms of product.
