Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound found in the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant. CBD has become popularized for its natural therapeutic qualities. Though categorized under the same umbrella as the marijuana plant, CBD only contains trace amounts of THC and will not make you high. The FDA of the United States considers hemp oil (and it’s derivative CBD) to be a dietary supplement (not a medication). If you live in the US, this means you don’t need a prescription to buy CBD and can legally purchase and consume it in any state.
