CBD is the acronym for Cannabidiol, one of about 100 cannabinoids that have been identified in the cannabis plant. It is a non-psychoactive compound that interacts with the human body via our Endocannabinoid System (ECS). Rather than providing a “high”or some other overwhelming sensation, CBD works to reestablish balance in a range of bodily systems. A good summary for CBD is to think of it as a supplement that works to find and maintain homeostasis, or a state of biological balance.
