Cannabidiol (aka CBD) is a naturally-occurring chemical found in the cannabis and hemp plant and is gathered directly from them. It is one of the almost 200 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD doesn’t cause you to feel high and can instead make you feel relaxed or help with chronic pain (keep in mind more research needs to be done). Meanwhile, marijuana and hemp are plants that belong to the same species. The difference is that hemp contains less THC (the main psychoactive chemical in cannabis) than marijuana.
