Cannabidiol (CBD) has continued to grow in popularity due to its range of therapeutic effects. If you're thinking about giving CBD a try, deciding how to consume the substance for the first time can be quite confusing. To kick-start your CBD experience on a positive note, here are the top 10 most popular ways of consuming CBD and their benefits. 

CBD’s ability to produce a wide range of effects in the body has been linked to the presence of an endocannabinoid system in both humans and animals. The endocannabinoid system controls a variety of biological functions such as memory, pain perception, reproduction and fertility, mood regulation and immune response among several others. When CBD is used, it interacts with this system to trigger reactions that are necessary for our wellbeing. 

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a type of chemical compound (known as cannabinoids), found naturally in cannabis (marijuana and hemp) plants. It is quite different from THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), which is another cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. 

Unlike THC, CBD has no psychoactive effects, meaning it doesn’t affect cognitive brain activity. In other words, it won’t get you high or cause euphoric effects that are commonly associated with the cannabis plant because it does not affect the same receptors as THC.
