Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of at least 113 active cannabinoids identified in the cannabis plant.

CBD is considered to have a wide scope of potential medical applications – due to clinical reports showing the lack of side effects, particularly a lack of psychoactivity (as is typically associated with THC), and non-interference with several psychomotor learning and psychological functions.

Multiple studies on CBD have suggested that it is well tolerated at doses of up to 1500 mg/day(ingested). Learn more about the benefits of CBD oil here.
