CBD aka Cannabidiol is one of over 100 cannabinoids present in Cannabis.
CBD & THC are the 2 most common Cannabinoids that people know about.
THC being a psychoactive Cannabinoid and CBD being a non psychoactive Cannabinoid.
Along with CBD & THC there are 481 other identifiable chemical components known to exist in the cannabis plant, including terpenes.
Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in many plants, though many people commonly associate them with cannabis because cannabis plants contain high concentrations of them.
For CBD to be legal in the UK it must be derived from hemp, contain less than 0.2% THC and any products must clearly state the amount of CBD in mg on the packaging.

Broad Spectrum - This is CBD with the other compounds but with THC removed.

In order to make these products, CBD & other cannabinoids must be separated from the plant matter. This can be done in a few different ways with one of the most common being the C02 extraction method.
CO2 extraction is a process that uses pressurized carbon dioxide to pull the desired phytochemicals from a plant. In the world of cannabis, the process pulls all of the essential cannabinoids, terpene oils and waxes out of the plant material.
How does CBD Work?
CBD works alongside our endocannabinoid system to aid better health and wellness.
The endocannabinoid system is a complex cell signalling system found throughout the brains and nervous systems of all mammals.
