What is CBD?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a chemical component extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant.
It’s a naturally occurring ingredient that’s utilised to create a sense of relaxation and serenity in items like oils and edibles.
CBD is not psychoactive, unlike its cousin, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the main active element in cannabis.

What role does hemp play in all of this?

In regard to CBD, you’ve undoubtedly heard the names cannabis, marijuana, and hemp thrown about.
Hemp and marijuana are the two main species of Cannabis sativa.
Both include CBD, but hemp has a far larger amount than marijuana, which also has very low THC levels (less than 0.3 percent).
When people talk about hemp oil, they’re talking about the oil produced from the hemp plant’s seeds.
Hemp oil has no cannabinoids (CBD or THC).
This component is high in healthy fats and is frequently used in cosmetic products due to its hydrating properties.
