CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring compound found in the hemp plant. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating, meaning it will not get you "high." Many people explore CBD as part of their daily wellness routine, often reaching for oils, gummies, capsules, or topicals depending on their goals and preferences.
Researchers believe CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors involved in regulating things like mood, sleep, and discomfort. Because everyone's body chemistry is different, how CBD feels and how quickly it works can vary from person to person.
Popular ways to take CBD
- Tinctures and oils — placed under the tongue for faster absorption
- Gummies and capsules — convenient, pre-measured, and easy to take on the go
- Topicals — balms and creams applied directly to the skin for targeted relief
- Pet products — formulated specifically for dogs and cats
