Introduction

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical compound found in the cannabis plant, distinct from tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis. CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce a "high." Its increasing popularity is attributed to its potential health benefits and its role in promoting overall wellness.

2. Mechanism of Action:

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters that regulate various physiological processes. The ECS includes cannabinoid receptors (CB1 and CB2) located throughout the body. CBD is believed to influence these receptors, thereby impacting pain perception, mood, and sleep.
