CBD Soft Gel Capsules

What Is CBD?

CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is one of over 100 different natural substances found within the cannabis sativa plant that are known as cannabinoids. Although it comes from the cannabis sativa plant, it is completely legal and does not cause users to experience a high. The illegal substance within the plant which causes a high is actually THC. For CBD products to remain legal they must contain less than 0.2% THC, which is nowhere near enough to cause a high. For this reason, CBD is often derived from the hemp variety of the plant, as the hemp plant contains large amounts of CBD but only little amounts of THC. The number of people taking CBD has soared in recent years as people search for the potential health benefits that it may provide, however at The CBD Planet UK we make no medical claims about our products.
