Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the main cannabinoids found in cannabis. This single element has been labelled as one of the most naturally occurring cures to a plethora of diverse illnesses and conditions.

In a placebo study conducted in 2011, a sample of 24 people were given either 600mg of CBD or a placebo. After consumption, they were put to a public speaking test. Not only was the CBD group more confident in the task, they also had improved cognitive results and less discomfort noted in their speech when compared to the placebo group.

Multiple studies have also shown that CBD stimulates the brain to produce increased serotonin. So basically it makes your brain happy, which in turn makes you happy, which makes us very happy ☺.
