CBD Oil
CBD oil (pronounced: /ˈsiːbiːdiː ˈɔɪl/), also known as cannabidiol oil, is a product derived from the cannabis plant. It is a type of cannabinoid, which are the chemicals naturally found in marijuana plants. Despite originating from marijuana plants, CBD oil does not create a "high" effect or any form of intoxication, which is caused by another cannabinoid known as THC.
Etymology
The term "CBD oil" is derived from the abbreviation of cannabidiol, which is one of the active compounds found in the cannabis plant. The word "cannabidiol" is a compound of "cannabis" and "diol", a chemical compound containing two hydroxyl groups.
Usage
CBD oil is used for various health-related purposes, but there is a great deal of controversy around its potential benefits. Some people use it to relieve pain and reduce anxiety, while others use it for sleep improvement. It is also used for the treatment of a wide range of medical conditions, including epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain.
