What Is CBD? Uses, Effects & Legal Status Explained

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is a naturally occurring cannabinoid derived from hemp. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce intoxicating effects, making it one of the most widely used hemp compounds in the U.S.

This guide explains what CBD is, how it works in the body, and whether CBD is legal under federal hemp law.

What Is CBD?

CBD is one of more than 100 cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. When derived from hemp, CBD products must contain no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC to remain federally legal.

CBD is commonly used in oils, gummies, topicals, and capsules and is valued for its non-psychoactive properties.

Does CBD Get You High?

No. CBD does not produce a “high.” It does not bind strongly to the same cannabinoid receptors responsible for THC’s intoxicating effects.

This makes CBD appealing to individuals seeking hemp-derived products without impairment.

How Does CBD Work?

CBD interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which plays a role in maintaining balance across several biological processes.

Rather than directly activating cannabinoid receptors, CBD influences how the system responds, which is why it does not cause intoxication.

Is CBD Legal?

Yes — CBD is federally legal when it is derived from hemp and contains no more than 0.3% Delta-9 THC by dry weight.

This legality comes from the 2018 Farm Bill, which legalized hemp and hemp-derived cannabinoids that meet federal requirements.

Some states impose additional restrictions, so consumers should always be aware of local regulations.

CBD vs THC: What’s the Difference?

The primary difference between CBD and THC is psychoactivity.

Compound	Psychoactive	Legal Status
CBD	No	Legal if hemp-derived
THC	Yes	Restricted federally
