WHAT IS CBD?
CBD stands for cannabidiol which is a compound extracted from the cannabis plant (cannabinoid). CBD binds and modulates the receptors CB1 and CB2 (endocannabinoid receptors found on the central nervous system - brain, spinal cord, connective tissue & other glands) and how these receptors respond to stimulus. It contains 0% THC and does not cause the intoxicating high that THC produces.
