National CBD Day

National CBD Day is dedicated to a plant-based remedy derived from hemp. This compound, known as cannabidiol (CBD), has powerful calming and pain-relieving effects. It has been found helpful not only for humans but also for certain animals. When used in medical doses, it does not cause perceptual distortion and has no known serious side effects.

History

Research into cannabidiol began in the 1930s, but due to the widespread stigma surrounding cannabis, the benefits of CBD remained largely inaccessible for decades. Only in recent years has this stigma started to lift, leading to greater public awareness and access.

National CBD Day is a relatively young observance, first celebrated in 2018. It aims to promote awareness of this safe and effective compound that may improve the well-being of many people.
