CBD is derived from the cannabis plant. There are many benefits that come with taking CBD such as a reduction of pain and inflammation. People refer to these plants are either marijuana or hemp, but it depends on the amount of THC they contain. CBD is not psychoactive meaning it does not alter a person’s state of mind once they have taken it.
