What is CBD and How Does it Work?

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a non-intoxicating cannabinoid known for treating depression, anxiety, and inflammation.  

Coming from the Ruderalis (hemp) part of the plant, CBD is able to encourage our bodies to release their own similar compounds (cannabinoids – the active part of the plant), which then stimulates your body to produce a variety of enzymes that decrease inflammation. It can also help keep our body’s internal systems in balance, (homeostasis) to prevent diseases and future illnesses.

CBD is often used in a variety of ways as an alternative to opioid pain medications. This allows users to steer clear of concerns such as the side effects of pharmaceutical usage in addition to the highly addictive nature of many medications.

Commonly found in oil format, CBD can also be found in topical creams, consumables such as candies and beverages, vape cartridge’s, and of course in cannabis itself. We carry all of these formats of CBD products and more in our shop.
