What is CBD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CBD is an abbreviation for cannabidiol<\/a>, a compound found in cannabis. Unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), it will not get you “high.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CBD is extracted from the hemp plant \u2014 legally defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% THC \u2014 and has a wide range of positive effects on your health. It can be used to help anxiety and depression<\/a>, control nausea and vomiting, promote better sleep<\/a>, inhibit cancer cell growth, and reduce pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With growing evidence of CBD’s health benefits<\/a>, there has been an influx in CBD products across America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Hemp Vs. Marijuana: What’s the Difference?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hemp and marijuana come from the same plant, Cannabis sativa, <\/em>but the difference between the two<\/a> lies in the levels of THC present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hemp is typically used for making products such as clothing, construction materials, biofuels, and CBD \u2014 all of which require a low level of THC. Specifically, the THC concentration must be below 0.3% to be classified as hemp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marijuana usually has large amounts of THC, more than 0.3%. Marijuana causes intoxication and is often used for recreational purposes. However, it has vast medical uses, and there are strains that have lower THC levels, though these are still only accessible in states with legalized marijuana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
