CBD is one of the many compounds found in cannabis plants, specifically in hemp, which is a variety of Cannabis sativa with low THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content. Unlike THC, CBD does not have psychoactive effects, meaning it does not cause a “high.” This has led to a surge in its use for various potential health benefits without the intoxicating effects associated with marijuana. The infusion of CBD into foods and drinks aims to provide these benefits in a convenient and enjoyable manner.
