Marijuana is known to work well for relieving anxiety and easing aches and pains. However, for those who don’t want to become high, it’s not exactly an attractive option. Enter CBD—a cannabis extract. CBD has all the stress relieving side-effects of marijuana, but without the mind-altering effects. That’s because it doesn’t contain THC, the psychoactive component of the plant. As more states start to legalize marijuana in the US, CBD may become a popular alternative to opioids.
