Cannabis contains over 100 cannabinoids, but THC and CBD have garnered the most attention. Cannabinoids are naturally occurring compounds found in cannabis plants.
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of the many cannabinoids produced by cannabis. It is primarily found in the trichomes (the tiny, crystal-like structures covering the flowers and leaves). After THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is the second most abundant cannabinoid in cannabis. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce psychoactive effects.
