Also known as cannabidiol, CBD rates as the second most bio-active compound of cannabis.  It is an essential component of therapeutic marijuana and a product of the hemp plant.  Even though it is a proponent of marijuana, CBD does not cause a ‘high,’ a psychoactive influence of Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A study conducted by the World Health Organization points out that; the use of CBD for health does not cause addiction, nor does it elicit any maltreatment in people.
