CBD is short for cannabidiol. It is a phytocannabinoid found in hemp and known for
supporting the body and mind in many ways.* Charlotte’s Web products have cannabinoids
with CBD extract.
Not to be confused with oil from hemp seeds (which doesn’t contain cannabinoids), CBD
comes from the flowers and leaves of the hemp plant.
Why does CBD work? The human body has a vast network of receptors, the endocannabinoid
system.
There are many health benefits associated with taking CBD oil. CBD connects to your
body’s cannabinoid receptors, and people report that CBD helps with complex problems
like arthritis, Crohn’s disease, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and cancer treatment.
Others use it to treat more mild everyday issues like skin health, sleep, anxiety,
general pain, and brain health.
There are many ways to take CBD. CBD is available in capsule or oil tinctures (like the
ones you see here on our website), edibles, or you can even lather it on in cream form.
n 2020, CBD (cannabidiol) versus THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is a hot topic. Both are
natural compounds derived from the same plant– cannabis sativa. So what is the
difference between CBD and THC?
CBD and THC are two of the most prominent cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Both
cannabis and hemp produce CBD and THC. However, cannabis has a higher concentration of
THC. Hemp has a higher concentration of CBD.
CBD and THC have the same chemical makeup, 21 carbon atoms, 30 hydrogen atoms, and two
oxygen atoms. The difference is that they don’t have the same chemical arrangement, and
the body receives them as different compounds. These compounds bind to neurotransmitters
in your brain and affect things like mood, pain, sleep, and memory.
