CBD (Cannabidiol) is one of over 120 naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. CBD oil is generally used as a natural remedy for its calming properties. As with many cannabis-based products, CBD oil is lacking gold-standard clinical trials to definitively prove its benefits, but so far the evidence is promising.

The Hemp plant is a variety of Cannabis with low levels of THC and high levels of CBD. Therefore, CBD oil can also be referred to as low-THC, legal cannabis oil.

Unlike THC, CBD will not get you high, and studies from the World Health Organisation, as well as some clinical trials, have found that it is safe for regular human consumption.
