2 types of the cannabis sativa plant, hemp and marijuana, create chemical compounds called cannabinoids. Cannabidiol (CBD) is 1 sort of cannabinoid, however, it does not get you high. THC -- yet another cannabinoid -- is the psychoactive part of marijuana and can get you high. Many CBD products come from hemp, which must have less than 0.3 THC present. You may be surprised to learn that your body creates its own cannabinoids (called endocannabinoids) and has cannabinoid receptors, a few associated with inflammation and pain. Researchers once thought the CBD in products attached to those receptors, but they suspect CBD helps your body use its endocannabinoids more effectively
