What Is CBD?
CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many naturally occurring compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike THC, CBD does not typically produce the intoxicating “high” commonly associated with cannabis.
CBD is available in many forms, including flower, edibles, tinctures, capsules, topicals, and vape products. Some products contain CBD by itself, while others combine CBD with THC and additional cannabinoids.
CBD Versus THC
CBD and THC both come from cannabis, but they interact with the body differently.
CBD is generally considered non-intoxicating.
THC is intoxicating and is primarily responsible for the traditional cannabis high.
Products containing both CBD and THC may feel different from high-THC products. The experience can depend on the ratio of CBD to THC, dosage, product type, and the individual consuming it.
Understanding CBD Product Types
CBD Isolate
Contains CBD without other cannabinoids or plant compounds.
Broad-Spectrum CBD
Contains CBD and additional cannabis compounds but is generally formulated without THC.
Full-Spectrum CBD
Contains CBD along with other naturally occurring cannabinoids and terpenes. Depending on the product, it may contain THC.
Always review the product label and testing information so you understand exactly what you are purchasing.
Choosing the Right CBD Product
Consider the following when selecting a CBD product:
- The amount of CBD in each serving
- Whether the product also contains THC
- The CBD-to-THC ratio
- The consumption method
- The product’s laboratory testing information
- How quickly you want the effects to begin and how long you want them to last
Our High Level Health team can help explain the available options and show you how to read a cannabis product label.
