CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is a chemical compound found naturally in the cannabis plant. It is not psychoactive and does not contain tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component of cannabis responsible for making users feel "high". CBD is most commonly used to treat chronic pain, anxiety, inflammation, and insomnia. It can either be derived from marijuana or hemp, which are cousins in the cannabis family. While there is no good scientific evidence to support many of the uses of CBD, a prescription form of CBD is used for seizure disorder (epilepsy) . It is important to note that CBD can be synthetically converted into Delta-8 THC, which is psychoactive and not well understood, so consumers should be cautious and aware of the potential for adverse events due to insufficient labeling of products containing THC and CBD.
