CBD, or cannabidiol, is the second best-known cannabinoid after THC. Unlike THC, it does not produce a "high." It interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system differently and does not bind strongly to the CB1 receptors responsible for THC's intoxicating effects.
You will find CBD in cannabis flower (usually in small amounts, though some strains are bred to be high in CBD), and in tinctures, edibles, vapes and topicals. Labels list it as a percentage for flower and concentrates, or in milligrams for edibles and tinctures.
One reason people pay attention to CBD is that it can soften some of THC's effects. Products are often described by ratio, such as 1:1 (equal THC and CBD) or 20:1 (much more CBD than THC). Some people who find THC too intense prefer a balanced ratio.
CBD is widely marketed, and many claims go well beyond what research supports. We do not make health claims about any product. If you take medication or have a health condition, talk with a doctor or pharmacist before using CBD, since it can interact with some medicines.
