Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound produced inside the glandular trichomes of the cannabis plant. Next to Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), it is the most abundant phytocannabinoid found in cannabis and hemp. CBD is a non-intoxicating, but still psychoactive, neurotransmitter that affects mood, anxiety, the immune system, inflammation, pain, and healing.
