A major non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, it is one of the most abundant cannabinoids in cannabis alongside THC. CBD is one of the most researched and widely used cannabinoids due to its potential therapeutic benefits without intoxicating effects, and for its potential to modulate the effects of THC. It does not bind strongly to CB! or CB2 receptors but instead works on a number of other pathways including serotonin receptors, TRP channels, and GPR55. Widely researched for potential benefits including for epilepsy, anxiety, inflammation, neuroprotection, and pain management. Abbreviated CBD.
