Unlike its cousin THC, CBD is not psychoactive and will not give you any sort of “high”, no matter how you use it. It will, however, give you a sense of relief or a calming feeling. CBD is typically found in the non-psychoactive portion of the hemp plant, typically within the seeds and stems, while THC comes from the flowering bud of the plant. THC binds itself to different receptors in our brain, creating the psychoactive effects of ingesting marijuana. With CBD, you won’t feel sedated or altered in any way, though some people will experience potential side effects, like nausea, fatigue, and irritability. No drug is perfect, which is why it’s best to consult with your doctor before trying any CBD products.
