CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the most important compounds discovered in hemp and cannabis alongside THC. Unlike THC, this compound is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not have pronounced effects on our CB1 receptors which is responsible for the impairment associated with THC. CBD was first discovered in 1940 by U.S Chemist Roger Adams, who also isolated CBN. Instead of being intoxicating like THC, CBD interacts with our Endocannabinoid System differently, helping endocannabinoids stay in the body longer and interacting with our TRP cation channels.
