American chemist Roger Adams discovered CBD in 1940. Cbd was actually the first Cannabanoid that was isolated. Most people think of Cbd as the non-psychoactive twin to Thc. Cbd often is grown from INDUSTRIAL HEMP {a form of Cannabis Sativa with 0.03 or less Thc}.
Cbd Has many medicinal qualities such as Anxiety relief, anti-seizure effects, Neuroprotectivity, Cancer treatment and pain relief. It's all the benefits of Thc without the high, therefore many people use it around the world and it's legal in many areas.

{Chemical composition of Cbd.}
According to Wikipedia "Cannabidiol {CBD} has low affinity for the cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 receptors, although it can act as an antagonist of CB1/CB2 agonists despite this low affinity. Cannabidiol may be an antagonist of GPR55, a G protein-coupled receptor and putative cannabinoid receptor that is expressed in the caudate nucleus and putamen in the brain."
