Cannabidiol (CBD): one of at least 85 cannabinoids found in cannabis. It is a major constituent of the plant, second to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and represents up to 40% in its extract. Compared with THC, cannabidiol is not psychoactive in healthy individuals. Read more at Wikipedia.
Cannabinoid: a class of diverse chemical compounds that activate cannabinoid receptors on cells that repress neurotransmitter release in the brain. These receptor proteins include the endocannabinoids (produced naturally in the body by humans and animals), the phytocannabinoids (found in cannabis and some other plants), and synthetic cannabinoids (produced chemically by humans). THC and CBD are the most notable cannabinoids, but there are at least 85 different cannabinoids isolated from cannabis, exhibiting varied effects. Read more at Wikipedia.
