What is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of a group of chemicals called cannabinoids. This compound is naturally derived from two plants: hemp and Cannabis sativa (marijuana).
Unlike the related compound THC, CBD does not produce the psychoactive effects commonly associated with a marijuana "high." However, CBD is a potent chemical that research shows may have many beneficial effects on the mind and body.
How Can CBD Benefit You?
According to Harvard Health, studies suggest CBD may help with:
Anxiety: Studies and clinical trials are exploring the common report that CBD can reduce anxiety.
Insomnia: Studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep and staying asleep.
Chronic pain: Further human studies are needed to substantiate claims that CBD helps control pain.

Other research identifies how CBD may inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain, which are difficult treat.
Addiction: CBD can help lower cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, according to some research in humans. Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for alcohol, cannabis, opiates, and stimulants.
