CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is a component of hemp that, by itself, does not cause a “high.” According to the World Health Organization, “In humans, CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential”. CBD may help with arthritis-related symptoms, such as pain, insomnia and anxiety. Buy from a reputable company that has each batch tested for purity, potency and safety by an independent laboratory and provides a certificate of analysis.
