A few years ago, CBD (cannabidiol) was a foreign concept. Today, thousands of people have tried the compound and have some story to share about their experience. Whether they use it for therapeutic purposes or just to balance homeostasis in their bodies, people are choosing CBD products over other natural supplements.
It comes as no surprise that cannabis is a controversial topic. Many people associate it with an illegal drug that has psychoactive properties. If you aren’t aware just yet, CBD is the compound found within different cannabis plants that doesn’t have any psychoactive effects on the user compared to its very naughty cousin THC. When CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant it become non-psychoactive. This means that the user experiences all the benefits without the ‘high’.
To achieve higher quantities of CBD within the leaves, farmers are crossbreeding different cannabis genus species. Watch this video for an in-depth guide on the different types of cannabis that can be crossbred.
