First of all: Is CBD marijuana?
No, CBD is NOT marijuana.
Until recently, the best-known compound in cannabis was delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Marijuana contains both THC and CBD, but these compounds have different effects. THC creates a mind-altering "high" when a person smokes it or uses it in cooking.
CBD (Cannabidiol) is different. Unlike THC, it is not psychoactive and does not change a person's state of mind when they use it. However, CBD does appear to produce significant changes in the body, and research has shown that it may have medical benefits.
