Cannabidiol (CBD) is the latest cannabis trend, and for good reason! CBD is a safe, natural, non-habit-forming substance, one phytocannabinoid compound of the more than 100 found in the plant cannabis. CBD does not cause the same hallucinatory side effects as the most common phytocannabinoid found in cannabis, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but both THC and CBD have a therapeutic effect on the body’s central regulatory system.

CBD oil is popular with individuals seeking natural remedies for pain, anxiety, and depression. It can also be used to boost energy levels. How you choose to consume CBD oil is up to you, but a robust fruit smoothie infused with CBD will incorporate some fantastic health benefits into your diet.
