What does CBD do?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a naturally occurring compound found in hemp. It is non-intoxicating, meaning it does not produce a “high.” CBD interacts primarily with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in maintaining balance (homeostasis) across many bodily functions.
