CBD

CBD (cannabidiol) is a prominent non-intoxicating compound in cannabis acclaimed for its wide range of purported wellness and health benefits. CBD appeals to a broad spectrum of consumers seeking natural relief without unwanted mind-altering effects. Extensive preclinical research and small clinical trials have indicated CBD's anti-inflammatory, analgesic, anxiolytic, neuroprotective and anticonvulsant properties, although large-scale confirmatory human studies remain limited at this stage.

The most popular CBD products available to purchase include oils, tinctures, edibles, topicals, vapes, capsules, and other ingestion methods. CBD can be extracted from cannabis plants or derived from legal hemp for maximum accessibility. However, CBD research remains in early stages overall and requires expanded clinical trials to verify efficacy, dosing, drug interactions, and safety before regulatory bodies will approve CBD pharmaceuticals for specific medical indications and health claims.
