CBD stands for cannabidiol. Its one of over 113 naturally occuring cannabinoiod compounds in the Cannabis plant. The flowers of cannabis (both hemp and maijuana) secrete a sticky resin abundant in cannabinoids like CBD, as well as terpenes and vaious other phytochemicals.

Compared to THC-the other main cannabinoid in the cannabis plant - CBD is non-psychoactive. This means that no matter how much you take, it's not going to produce the characteristic "high" from marijuana.

CBD has also recently been caracteristic as a nutritional supplement in the United States - giving the public open access to CBD supplements.

CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system - a complex network of receptors and neurotransmitters spread thoughout the entire body. This system is tasked with regulating the balacne of vaious organ systems.

The greatest abundance of these recptors is located in the brain, the central nervous system, and the immune system. Almost every organ in your body, including the skin and digestive tract, comes with cannabinoid receports.

The endocannabinoid system controls a plethora of major biological functions, including:

- Neuroprotection

- Immune response

- Sensory perception

- Stress management

- Cognitive performance

CBD works through the endocannabinoid system by increasing our naturally occurring endocannabinoids - thus helping the body maintain balance.

From a scientific standpoint, both hemp and marijuana are the same species - Cannabis sativa.

The differene is in the chemical makeup.

Anything with less than 0.3% THC by dried weight is classified as hemp (non-psychoactive), while anything over this is maijuana (psyhoactive).

Hemp is more commonly used for making food (hemp seeds), rope, paper, building materials, natural plastics, and most importantly - supplements such as CBD oil.

Marjuana is used recreationally, spirtually, or for medical purposes because fo its psychoactive effects.

At Royal CBD, we only use hemp plants that have been specially bred for their high CBD content and lack of psychoactive THC
