CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of over a hundred naturally occurring compounds abundant in hemp plants. CBD works similarly to cannabinoids our bodies produce in the endocannabinoid system (ECS), which play a role in communication between cells and maintains homeostasis (balance) of vital systems and organs. 

It's become a wildly popular ingredient that can be formulated into various product types, depending on the desired effects—some common products featuring CBD include food, supplements, and skincare products. 

CBD supports the endocannabinoid system function by influencing the activity of CB1 and CB2 receptors to regulate various physiological processes, including pain perception, relaxation, sleep, mood, healthy immune response, and much more. 

Some studies show CBD to have unique interactions at other receptor sites that influence our sensitivity to pain and resilience to stress. While research on CBD is relatively new, there's a lot of promise for its uses.

While it is technically possible for CBD to appear on drug tests if they are explicitly screening for it, CBD is generally not a compound that is commonly flagged on drug screenings. This is because CBD is legal in most countries and does not produce any psychoactive effects that can impair cognitive function or performance.

CBD will not get you high the same way THC (the main psychoactive compound in marijuana does). While it's true that these compounds work on the same endocannabinoid system, they illicit different effects on the mind and body because CBD doesn't directly activate the CB1 receptor. 

CBD is non-intoxicating, but it has relaxing properties that promote a sense of calm. 

CBD and hemp aren't the same, but they are related. 

CBD is a cannabinoid compound that's found in cannabis plants. 

Meanwhile, hemp is a type of cannabis plant that contains very-low quantities of THC (less than 0.3%) and is high in CBD, grown for industrial purposes. 

The legality of CBD depends on where it's sourced from. In the United States, the Farm Bill (2018) distinguished hemp plants and their cannabinoid compounds, including CBD, from marijuana plants, removing it from the list of controlled substances. 

All Neurogan products are made from American-grown Farm-Bill-compliant hemp crops that are legal on a federal level. 

Many people reach for CBD for different uses. Some people use it for stress, sleep, and muscle recovery, but others use CBD products for focus, concentration, and even skincare.

Its use widely varies depending on the product formulation and the individual's body chemistry. 

This is because of CBD's versatility as an ingredient and the fact that the body has endocannabinoid receptors throughout the body, and each person's endocannabinoid system is unique. As a result, CBD can have different effects, depending on the individual's needs and goals. 

Dosing CBD is a personal experience because of each person's unique body chemistry. 

When starting CBD, it's recommended to start with a low dose and gradually increase it until you reach your desired effects. It's also worth noting that it can take some time to see the impact of CBD, depending on how much you take and how you consume it. For example, smoking CBD hemp flower will be felt much quicker and may feel more potent than using CBD oil. 

Ultimately, finding the proper dosage of CBD to feel relaxed is a personal process that may involve some trial and error.
