CBD or Cannabidiol is one of the cannabinoids found in cannabis. The good thing about it is that it is not a psychoactive compound. In other words, CBD doesn’t produce the so-called “high” effect. This is the main difference between CBD and THC (another cannabinoid). CBD oil is produced by extracting the cannabidiol from hemp plants and mixing it up with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil).

CBD is legal to use in every state due to the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill last December. You can purchase different CBD products even online. A good example of a brand selling big variety of them is NolaRu. There are some requirements that producers have to cover (for instance the hemp used for the CBD extraction has to be industrially grown).
