CBD most commonly stands for cannabidiol, a naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its well-known counterpart THC, CBD is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not cause a "high" or intoxication. [1, 2]

Uses and Availability

CBD is extracted from hemp or marijuana plants and is widely marketed in the form of oils, edibles (like gummies), capsules, and topical creams. While the FDA has approved one purified form of CBD for treating rare seizure disorders, many people use over-the-counter products for general wellness, such as relieving anxiety, managing chronic pain, and improving sleep.
