Cannabis plants consist of more than 100 chemical compounds which are called cannabinoids. Cannabinoids, or CBD for short, attach to receptors in the brain and the body’s immune system and have been known to have a variety of health benefits. Whereas tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the psychedelic ingredient from the cannabis plant, CBD has zero psychoactive properties and doesn’t get its users high or stoned. Several studies suggest that CBD is effective for children, animals, and anyone who else wants to reap the benefits of cannabis without the “high” that’s commonly associated with marijuana use. The CBD compound itself is proving to be a valuable compound with a bevy of health benefits.
