CBD also known as cannabidiol, is the second most predominant and recognized of the active chemicals in the cannabis plant. While CBD is one of many hundreds of components in marijuana, our CBD is derived directly from the hemp plant and by itself it does not cause the typical “high” associated with Marijuana and THC. Side effects are typically minimal in comparison to possible pharmaceutical side effects, i.e. nausea, fatigue and irritability. CBD can interact with some medications, check with a health care provider if you are taking medications. Currently, the FDA does not regulate the safety and purity of dietary supplements. All 50 states have laws legalizing CBD.
