Whether you’re a veteran marijuana and hemp user or a newbie to the world of cannabis, you might have to ask: what is CBD? It comes up a lot, but does anyone really know what it is? We do! And after you read this, you’ll be a CBD expert.
Find out what CBD is, what it does to you, how to use it, if it’s legal, and much more.
Let’s Look at the Science — What Is CBD?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a chemical found in cannabis sativa plants. Like THC, CBD is a compound naturally found in this plant, but CBD and THC are typically derived from different varieties of the cannabis sativa plant. Hemp is the form of the cannabis plant that larger quantities of CBD come from. Marijuana is the form of cannabis plant that THC is found abundantly in.
While some products offer concentrated and isolated THC or CBD, these two compounds often go hand in hand and are found in the same products.
Is CBD Legal?
Similar to THC, the legality of CBD is complex and varies across the country. Hemp-derived CBD is federally legal in the U.S. for certain uses because, in 2018, a law making many hemp products legal was passed.
However, not all CBD products are legal everywhere today, including marijuana-derived CBD. CBD is approved for use in cosmetics but not in food and similar consumables. We’ll explain why below.
Is CBD a Drug?
Yes, CBD is approved by the FDA as a prescription drug. That is why it can’t be used in food products in all states. However, many states have legalized the use of CBD and THC in such products, which is why you can enjoy Find Wunder hemp-infused drinks!
We know this is complicated, but all you have to worry about is whether you want to order a 12-pack or a variety pack with your favorite Find Wunder flavors!

Get on Board With the Benefits of CBD
CBD is associated with a wide range of benefits. As mentioned, CBD and THC are like best friends. Many of the benefits we associate with cannabis consumption are partially thanks to the presence of CBD.
Individually, THC and CBD can be enjoyable and beneficial. But together, they deliver sensational benefits for a variety of people, including:
- Soothes stress and anxiety
- Relaxes muscles
- Relieves tension
- Boosts mood
- Improves sleep
- Reduces inflammation
- Rich with antioxidants
Like THC, CBD interacts with the chemical receptors in your brain, blocking or boosting certain signals that can lead to these wonderful benefits.
Side Effects of CBD
The side effects some may experience with CBD heavily depend on how they consume the compound. For example, if you smoke marijuana, you may experience dry mouth. While we can attribute this side effect to CBD on some level, this is just a symptom of smoking and cannabis use in general.
The most common side effects to note are:
- Low blood pressure
- Lightheadedness
- Dizziness
- Drowsiness
- Fatigue
Less common downsides of CBD include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Reduced appetite
- Diarrhea
- Liver toxicity
Experiencing any negative side effects with CBD is rare, but even when people do experience these less-than-pleasant symptoms, they’re typically very mild.
The When and How of CBD Use
CBD has countless uses, as the compound can serve many purposes. Some may take it recreationally just to chill out, while others may rely on it to manage severe conditions. Below are just some ways you can use CBD:
- To relieve chronic pain
- To mitigate seizures from epilepsy
- To manage multiple sclerosis symptoms
- To help with insomnia
- To manage depression, anxiety, stress, and/or PTSD
- To improve heart health
- To reduce the risk of cancer
- To manage inflammation
- To stop headaches or migraines
- To aid in weight loss
- To lower blood pressure or blood sugar
These are just the popular uses for CBD, but there are more, and likely plenty, we haven’t even discovered yet!
As far as consuming CBD, you have plenty of options, from edibles to oils. However, there’s no better way to enjoy the benefits of CBD than by sipping on a cannabis mocktail.
