Cannabidiol, or CBD for short, is a compound present in cannabis that has gained attention due to its potential therapeutic uses. Cannabidiol (CBD) is less likely to provide an intoxicating "high" than tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) because it lacks psychoactivity. Rather, it engages in a process known as the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in the control of numerous physiological processes, including as immune response, pain, sleep, and mood. Both the legality and safety of cannabidiol (CBD) for human consumption have been widely acknowledged in many parts of the world.
