Course Description & Syllabus
CBD is not the same thing as cannabis, marijuana or hemp. CBD is a single compound in the cannabis plant, from the Cannabaceae family of plants. Cannabis produces many naturally occurring compounds, including CBD.
When we consume activated cannabinoids, we can experience the therapeutic benefits of the cannabis plant. Both CBD and THC cannabinoids, as well as the other cannabinoids found within cannabis, assist the body’s Endocannabinoid System (ECS) and can contribute to greater health. These cannabinoids can be leveraged separately, or together, helping individuals improve their wellness.
