What is cbd?

CBD, short for Cannabidiol is a chemical compound of the cannabis plant. It is non-psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high.

You may have heard of the strain “Charlotte’s Web” which was developed for a young girl named Charlotte who was born with Dravet syndrome. By age three Charlotte was suffering from 300 grand mal seizures per week despite treatment. While traditional prescription medication did little to help Charlotte, what did help was Cannabidiol. In 2011 a strain of hemp was developed in Charlotte’s name that contained high amounts of CBD and minimal amounts of THC. By using CBD to treat her disorder, Charlotte’s seizures dropped to 4 per month.

Preclinical trials over the past four decades have found that Cannabidiol shows promise as an:

  • anti-inflammatory
  • antioxidant
  • neuroprotectant
  • anxiolytic
  • antidepressant
  • analgesic
  • anti-tumoral agent
  • anti-psychotic


While CBD is found in marijuana, we obtain it from the highest quality hemp grown in the U.S., making it legal in all 50 states.

how does cbd work?

CBD is one of more than 80 chemical compounds found in the cannabis plant, known as cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are agonists that bind to special receptors on your cells called cannabinoid receptors. Cannabinoid receptors are found throughout the body in almost every organ, including the central nervous system, the digestive tract, and even the skin. These receptors make up a larger endocannabinoid system (ECS) that is thought to be the greatest neurotransmitter system in the body. The ECS effects just about everything including:

  • Mood
  • Memory
  • Motor control
  • Immune function
  • Reproduction
  • Pain perception
  • Appetite
  • Sleep
  • Bone development

In simple terms, cannabinoid receptors act as locks on the cells, and CBD acts as the key to open the lock.
