Understanding Cannabidiol (CBD)

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a naturally occurring cannabinoid found within the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD is generally discussed as a non-intoxicating cannabinoid and has become the subject of significant scientific and clinical research.

CBD interacts with biological systems that researchers continue to study, including the body's endocannabinoid system.

The Endocannabinoid System

The endocannabinoid system is a complex biological signalling network involved in maintaining physiological balance throughout the body.

Educational information discussing this system in greater detail is available through this article exploring the entourage effect and cannabinoid interactions.
