Cannabidiol (CBD), is one of over 60 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD has little-to-no psychoactive effects and can be beneficial for nausea, arthritis, cancer, seizures, pain and much more. THC is known for its ability to haze the mind, but CBD provides medical applications and a clear headed practicality for those on-the-go. Once extracted from the cannabis plant and isolated, CBD can be infused into a variety of products such as topicals, oils and tinctures.
