Cannabidiol (CBD) is a natural chemical found in the Cannabis sativa plant. It is not psychoactive in the way that THC is, meaning it does not make you feel 'high.' CBD is sold over-the-counter as an unregulated supplement, and it is also available as an FDA-approved prescription liquid medicine called Epidiolex, used for certain seizure conditions.
