CBD Edibles

What Is CBD?

CBD is short for cannabidiol. Cannabidiol is one of many different substances within the cannabis plant which are more commonly known as cannabinoids. Although it is often assumed that cannabidiol is illegal and causes a high, this is not the case. It is actually the THC cannabinoid within the plant which is illegal and causes users to experience a high. CBD products must therefore contain less than 0.2% THC in order to remain legal in the UK. For this reason, cannabidiol is largely extracted from the hemp variety of the cannabis plant, as the hemp plant contains large amounts of cannabidiol but small amounts of THC. Although most people think of CBD oils when they think of CBD, edible forms of CBD products have surged in popularity in recent years thanks to their delightful taste and ease of use.
