Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the compounds, known as cannabinoids, found in the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids act on cannabinoid receptors that are part of the endocannabinoid system found throughout the body. CBD is the second most abundant compound in cannabis but has none of the psychoactive properties of marijuana.

Hemp oil is extracted from the stalks and stems of cannabis using solvents or with a non-toxic and non-flammable CO2 extraction method. Prevalent in the food industry, CO2 extraction eliminates the risk of solvent residues in the final product and is “generally regarded as safe” by the FDA.

Hemp and CBD are both considered safe and should not produce any adverse side effects in most people.
