How is CBD Oil Different from Marijuana?

And, within these compounds in the resin, there are chemicals called cannabinoids, which binds to receptors in the brain. THC is the most well-known cannabinoid, and it is responsible for the âhighâ that people experience when they use marijuana. But, CBD oil is a different cannabinoid that can provide the benefits of marijuana, without the high. During the process of separating the different cannabinoids, there may be trace amounts of THC in CBD oil products. Therefore, it is important that customers buy products from reputable sites.

The majority of research conducted is in animals, so it is hard to say whether the pain relief seen would be seen with people.
