No. CBD doesn’t get you high because it has nothing resembling psychoactive, psychedelic, or hallucinatory properties.</p>\n<p>The cannabis plant, hemp’s cousin, became famous as a psychedelic drug. Cannabis contains hundreds of chemical compounds. CBD is one of them, as is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the substance responsible for creating the psychedelic experience.

And these side effects are only mildly relevant in the scheme of things, especially compared to what you’re trying to treat.</p>\n<p class=\"article-tips warning\">The more serious side effects include possible contraindications with pharmaceutical or over-the-counter drugs.

Alternative Medicine CBD For Dummies Cheat Sheet

Cheat Sheet / Updated 04-05-2022

Cannabidiol (CBD) has become popular during the past several years — and for good reason. This active compound of cannabis is proving to be beneficial to many people suffering from conditions that are either hard to treat or require prescription medicines that are hard to take. CBD has appeared just about everywhere, from grocery store shelves to gas stations to clothing stores. It can be hard to know who to trust and what companies make safe products. It's important to be able to discern fact from fiction and make choices to serve your needs, whether it's reducing pain or stress, improving your sleep, or just general supplementation.
