CBD, or cannabidiol, is a natural compound extracted from the Cannabis sativa plant with potential therapeutic benefits like treating anxiety, inflammation, pain, and sleep disorders. It is often mistaken for synthetic CBD due to its popularity in wellness products. Hemp, a naturally occurring plant, is used for textiles, rope, paper, food, and wellness products. Natural CBD is expensive to manufacture but has an entourage effect due to naturally occurring compounds. Synthetic CBD is cost-effective and consistent, containing pure CBD molecules.
