There are more than 100 cannabinoids that have been identified in the marijuana plant. CBD and THC are the 2 that most people have heard of. CBD (cannabidiol) comes from the cannabis sativa plant. It has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Unlike its more famous sibling, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), CBD is used mostly for pain relief and will not get you “high.”
CBD stops the body from absorbing anandamide, a compound associated with regulating pain. So, increased levels of anandamide in the bloodstream may reduce the amount of pain a person feels.
