There is some informative literature out there on cannabidiol oil and we are going to investigate some of the most useful sources currently available.
Before we do, we answer one of the most common questions surrounding CBD, that being, What is CBD?
CBD is short for cannabidiol and is derived from the hemp plant, being an active ingredient in cannabis. CBD is not addictive and does not give you a high, unlike THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis. It is associated with helping to improve a variety of health issues. CBD can be found as an oil, in topical creams, in gummy lollies or inhaled as a smoke although its most common form is as CBD Oil. The CBD is extracted as an oil from the cannabis sativa plant and mixed with an inert carrier oil such as hemp seed oil to make it more readily digestible.
