CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of more than 60 active compounds found in cannabis. Most scientists agree that CBD has medical properties that can help to regulate mood and anxiety, reduce inflammation, and help patients get over symptoms of cancer, PTSD, inflammatory bowel disease, and epilepsy.

Having trouble sleeping? Unhappy and feeling down? CBD might be your answer. It’s no secret that recreational cannabis has garnered a bad reputation in recent years, but that’s not the case when it comes to hemp-derived cannabidiol. It’s been shown to be an effective treatment for sleep issues and anxiety.

Although other cannabinoids are found in the plant, none have as many known medical applications as CBD. Over the past several decades, scientists have uncovered more and more potential uses for it as well as other cannabinoids. But most people know it as a result of its use as a hemp extract.

For those unfamiliar with the chemical, cannabidiol a nonpsychoactive compound found in cannabis. It’s found in the cannabis plant’s trichomes, or the tiny projections on the upper surface of the leaves, which are part of the compound’s immune system. Scientists believe that it is responsible for producing a more effective immune system, preventing bacteria from entering the plant and from dying.

CBD is generally extracted from hemp via a process called solvent extraction. When the cannabis plant is vaporized, the THC has burned away so it doesn’t have a chance to produce a psychoactive effect. Insolvent extraction, cannabinoid molecules are simply mixed with an aqueous solvent to break them down into cannabinoids and metabolites that can be further processed into CBD.

However, the bulk of CBD doesn’t come from USA hemp at all. Instead, it’s often imported from China, India, and Jamaica. According to the DEA, illegal Chinese hemp is actually imported from Canada to satisfy the United States’ unapproved drug importation demands.

Can you overdose on CBD?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is part of the non-psychoactive part of the cannabis plant. this part does not make a person “high”. CBD is considered safe.
Some deaths have been attributed to adverse reactions to synthetic cannabinoids, like Spice, which is produced to mimic THC. As was the case in Spice-related fatalities, not all fatalities may have been caused by a fatal interaction between products, but it’s difficult to know with certainty.

What is not in doubt is that cannabidiol can help with pain, anxiety, seizures, and other symptoms of serious illnesses.
