What Is CBD?

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is an active compound extracted from cannabis plants. While marijuana and hemp both belong to the cannabis genus, they are distinct plants with significant differences. The most notable difference is their THC content, with hemp containing only trace amounts of THC, whereas marijuana contains much higher levels. Unlike THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not cause the “high” associated with marijuana use. Using high-tech CO2 extraction technology, we’re able to extract CBD oil from the hemp flower and use it to create a huge variety of high-quality CBD products.

Many people swear by the effects of CBD, and studies have proven its positive effects on mood, sleep, anxiety, and pain.
