In basic terms, CBD or Cannabidiol is one of around 113 active cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Recent research has discovered that it can have far more powerful medicinal and therapeutic effects than any other cannabinoid found in cannabis. Until the mid-2000's, it was thought that CBD played no sole role in interacting with the human body in a therapeutic way. In fact, it was widely accepted that THC, or Tetrahydrocannabinol was the only cannabinoid that could manipulate receptors in the human body.

However in 2005, researchers discovered a new receptor in the human brain, which they named CB2. This receptor, along with others, interacts directly with CBD (without the need for THC) to provide therapeutic or medical relief to certain areas of the body. This groundbreaking discovery essentially meant that THC and CBD need no longer be used together. THC is the cannabinoid that offers the psychoactive response from ingesting cannabis, basically the 'high'. CBD on the other hand, does not contain any psychoactive properties, meaning that for those who weren't simply looking to get high, could receive the medical help they needed.

CBD is generally considered to aid a number of conditions and ailments including coordination and movement, pain, emotions, mood, appetite, sleep plus many more functions. Some studies also indicate that CBD aids in the treatment of some types of cancer and autoimmune diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and arthritis.
