CBD stands for cannabidiol and is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis and hemp plants. It is one of 144 different cannabinoids found in the plant and is known for its non-psychotropic properties.
CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is a chemical compound found in cannabis that is both safe and non-addictive. Cannabidiol can bind with our bodies' endocannabinoid system, which can act as an anti-inflammatory, among other things.
CBD contrasts with THC, the cannabinoid that possesses intoxicating properties. THC produces a high because it binds directly to the body's CB1 receptors, which mediate the psychoactive effects of cannabinoids.
CBD can't get you high because it doesn't directly link to any of the body's cannabinoid receptors. Instead, it interacts with the body's own endocannabinoids in complex ways.
What does it do?
In addition to treating epilepsy, research has shown CBD may help reduce anxiety for people who have schizophrenia or psychosis, or who are addicted to opiates.
Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, CBD may even help treat acne.
It may also be beneficial for arthritis. Last fall the Arthritis Foundation became the first major health organization to release guidelines for the use of CBD
Advocates believe there are many potential health benefits, but clinicians say more research needs to be done.
