What Is CBD (Cannabidiol)?
CBD (cannabidiol) is one of over 100 cannabinoids found in cannabis plants. Unlike THC, CBD is non-intoxicating and does not produce a "high." CBD interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system (ECS), which plays a role in regulating various physiological processes.
Key characteristics of CBD:
- ✓Non-intoxicating: Does not impair mental clarity or motor function
- ✓Well-tolerated: Generally considered safe with minimal side effects
- ✓Multiple formats: Oils, edibles, topicals, flower, capsules
- ✓May interact with medications: Consult healthcare provider if taking prescriptions

CBD vs. THC: Understanding the Difference
CBD (Cannabidiol)
- •Non-intoxicating: Does not produce a "high"
- •Safe for daytime: No impairment of cognitive function
- •Drug testing: Pure CBD unlikely to cause positive results
- •Side effects: Typically minimal (drowsiness, dry mouth, appetite changes)
- •Legal status: Hemp-derived CBD legal federally; cannabis CBD requires state license
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)
- •Intoxicating: Produces euphoric "high"
- •Impairment: Affects coordination, reaction time, judgment
- •Drug testing: Detectable for days to weeks
- •Side effects: Anxiety, paranoia, rapid heart rate (dose-dependent)
- •Legal status: Federally illegal; legal in NJ for 21+ with state license
💡 The Entourage Effect
Research suggests that CBD and THC work better together than alone. This "entourage effect" occurs when multiple cannabinoids and terpenes interact synergistically. Many users find balanced THC:CBD products (1:1, 2:1 ratios) provide optimal results with fewer THC-related side effects.
