What is CBD?
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a chemical in 
the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as 
cannabis or hemp. 
Types of CBD
• Consuming gummies and other edibles can be an easy, tasty, and discreet way of 
ingesting CBD. Some common reasons for taking CBD include managing pain and 
seeking relief from anxiety or depression.
• CBD is one of several compounds called cannabinoids in the cannabis plant.
• Full-spectrum CBD: This contains all the phytochemicals that occur naturally in 
the cannabis plant, such as various other cannabinoids, terpenes, and oils. It 
also contains a trace amount of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the 
psychoactive compound in cannabis that produces the “high.”
• Broad-spectrum CBD: This contains all the phytochemicals in the cannabis plant 
but no THC.
• CBD isolates: This is the pure form of CBD.
How does CBD work?
• CBD works in conjunction with other cannabinoids to bind to cannabinoid 
receptors in the endocannabinoid system. There are two main cannabinoid 
receptors: CB1 receptors, which are present in the central nervous system 
and the brain, and CB2 receptors, which increase expression after injury and 
inflammation.
• THC binds to and may activate CB1 receptors, leading to the effects of this 
compound.
How to choose products?
• Ingredients: Products that contain safe and high-quality ingredients and state 
all ingredients clearly.
• Dosage: Products that contain or recommend a serving size for a safe CBD 
dosage. The dosage is clearly stated.
• Lab results: Products that are from brands that make their testing results 
publicly available.
• Third-party labs: Products that undergo third-party testing for contaminants.
