CBD, or cannabidiol is one non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis that is a cannabinoid. It is the second most prevalent active ingredient in cannabis, but there are many such compounds in cannabis – 60 different cannabinoid molecules – all of which are termed “cannabinoids,” because they interact with body/brain receptors in different ways that can be involved in a variety of functions like appetite, anxiety, depression and pain sensation. The two main cannabinoids in cannabis are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which causes psychoactive effects, and cannabidiol (CBD) which is not psychoactive but can reduce pain, reduce anxiety, help sleep and create a more relaxed sense of well being.
