CBD is not psychoactive like THC is, so it doesn't give people a "high" like weed does. Rather, CBD works with the body's endocannabinoid system, which is a complex network of receptors that controls a range of bodily functions, such as how we feel, our sleep, how we perceive pain, and how our immune system works. CBD has a lot of different helpful benefits, from lowering stress and anxiety to easing long-term pain and inflammation, by changing how these receptors work.</span></span>
