Let’s start with what CBD is not. It’s not marijuana. CBD — short for cannabidiol — is an oil extracted from hemp plants (cannabis). It doesn’t contain a significant amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive component found in marijuana.
So cat owners don’t need to worry about a CBD oil product they get for their kitty having the same psychoactive effects as some of the CBD or marijuana products humans use.
