"Is CBD just a money-making hoax?" The DePaulia

According to Austin Lim, Ph.D, a neuroscience professor at DePaul University, CBD is a plant-derived compound from certain species of cannabis plants. It acts to modify the activity of receptors that our body naturally uses, called the cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are activated by compounds that our body naturally makes. It is non-psychoactive, meaning it does not produce any intoxication or buzz.
