Is CBD legal? Will CBD get me high?
The answers: Yes, CBD is legal. So long as it contains no more than 0.3 percent THC and is derived from hemp, CBD is legal. And no, CBD will not get you high. There are no psychoactive components involved in the cannabinoid. The cannabinoid that is responsible for giving people a high is THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol.
“CBD is derived from hemp, the same family as econashia and hops. The products are completely safe for people to use.”
What are the benefits of Having CBD in Health and Beauty Products?
