CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound derived from the hemp plant. Unlike its counterpart, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD does not induce a "high," making it an appealing option for those seeking therapeutic benefits without mind-altering effects. Research suggests that CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), a complex network of receptors that regulate various physiological processes, including pain, mood, sleep, and immune function.
